Re: semi mg running f/a

well, i talked to wiselite and its now worked out. apparently the booster cone was too small resulting in overpressure and the fire control group needed to be replaced. this baby runs like a singer sewing machine!

Re: TWINS! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SEXY!

sorry guys, but as one of our more esteemed colleagues pointed out, im extremely excited :D . I know that the barrels came from green mountain but i did not buy them directly from them.

Re: TWINS! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SEXY!

actually the ratchet plates were purchased from rtg parts. The rear sections are wiselite semi rears(absolutely gorgeous-by the way). I was fortunate enough to find an individual that had 2 century m53 rifles that he had taken the production barrels out of and swapped them with i.o. original german ...

Re: TWINS! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SEXY!

ive been soooo fortunate on these two beauties. Both have largely all german parts minus the rear stock pieces and of course the gripsticks due to the conversions. Both have german front shouds, top covers and bolts. Both also have german bipods. The barrels are new production green mtn's but ive go...

charging handle questions...please help!

ok guys i got this baby working...but i have one question. Should the charging handle tab be making a line in the ratchet plate along where it travels back and forth? It appears that it is gouging the bluing off the ratchet plate. Is this the way it should be? I suppose i could take a few hundredths...

Re: Grip stick ?

i think they both function equally well...judging by the discussion on the boards it appears that the fal setup gives a little more consistent strike on the round...i think the spring on the fal setup is much better suited for the milsurp rounds that a lot of guys fire, yet wise lite has been using ...
