On to the range report.
I think the biggest problem the gun has is the recoil spring. Cut down original springs are just not going to do it. I had to load single rounds in the feed tray to begin with and after a few rounds down the tube it started to feed the belts. But then I think the spring just weakened beyond it's usefulness. At the end of shooting it it wouldn't even load a single round placed on the feedtray... Need that new spring Conrad!!

I was able to get a few 5 round bursts though. The charging handle seemed to wear in a little bit so it was slightly easier to rack it. But still needs plenty of testing to get 100%.
What I was extremely! disappointed about is I took the advice of the headspacing tutorial and bought some 8mm headspace gauges. Both of my 8mm barrels were out of spec to the bolthead. One was too long, the other too short. So I think I'm going to jump on one or two of those $50 WWII bolts from Interordnance and hope I get one that headspaces right.
What do you guys recommend to lube these things? Is CLP ok? Or does it need some kind of grease? I've heard ballistal??
Anyway, on to the pictures!!!
