Re: gurtfuller for maxim

I don't see why not. I've a loader modified for the aluminum Turkish belts, fits fine. If drastically different you could send me loader and I would custom fit it.

Re: gurtfuller for maxim

I've been asked to make another small run of these, I'm thinking about 4-5.
Am looking for 1917 American wood box hinges and latches.
Anyone interested in the boxes? Probably same price.$350

Re: For Sale Site

I like it just the way it is. I think it could turn into a big headache in a hurry. there are not that many posts of stuff for sale as compared to gunboards . I like the rather small reserve audiance of select individuals of a particular interest.
