It's a dead issue -

ATF rescinded the letter declaring the semi MG42 a "firearm" about one month later.
A semi MG42 is a "rifle" according to the ATF because it has a butt-stock.

No semi design has ever been approved. True - Several have worked on a semi design but to my knowledge no one has ever submitted one to ATF for classification. From my understanding, they would have needed the final interenal machine work and then hardening. Partially correct - FA blocking design w...

Bil - Somewhere in the murky recesses of my mind I recall that Christian at IMA told me that the air cooled MG15 kits they sold were from Spain which would account for the Weimar Republic style inspectors stamp found on these parts. Apparently armaments produced by Nazi Germany for export were alway...

Hi Bil,

I just did a search at http://www.uspto.gov and couldn't find any patent for the MG34 by a Richard Freeman Jr. Do you know the patent number?

Nice condition 1898 Krag that was sporterized years ago by modifying the military stock, shorten and crown barrel, and replace front sight. Good bore but it does show corrosive primer use in the past. Nice shooter grade Krag. Manufactured in 1900 according to serial number so it must be shipped to a...

Sorry to hear that you have had problems getting an acceptable ground mount for yours. This photo is the one I bought from IMA about 5 - 6 years ago - Granted mine is on a non-firing display gun but I have had no issues with it at all. Maybe the earlier ones were somewhat better cast and finished. R...

Hi Bil, Rumor has it that the water cooled MG15's AKA ST61's were made for Romania with the water jackets having been made at a "disused" plant in France. They were supplied to Romania under a military assistance program but never were issued and stayed in a Romanian warehouse until sold off as surp...
