Re: Questions Before Beginning

As for the mounting to a m122 tripod, isn't it the same as an m2 tripod except the front pintle and the t&E adaptor. There is a guy Bergflak that was selling (Danish?) adaptors made by DISK that went on an M2 and mounted an MG42. Can't make one for what he was selling them for.

Re: do not use Laq steel case ammunition from WW2

Oddly, I shot about 1000 rounds through a 1919 a few years back. Now, it had been stored properly since the 1970's since being purchased from "Vic's". Some was Brass, some was Steel. Whether it ran well or not, depended more on the bullet, some were nickel and some copper. The Nickel ran very well i...

Re: M53 Availability

I got an email back from Wiselite they are no longer building MG42's. :(

M53 Availability

Anyone know of M53 availability? I haven't seen them for sale in months. What happened? Do we expect a return?

I'm talking semi M53 Wiselite (and Century)

Re: New to Forum...Hungry for Info

Hey guys, Been to the Dade City Range before, it's a good range, but not as many lanes as Hernando. I liked it, but since it's 1/2 dozen/6 of another, I go to Hernando. Same lanes for pistol and rifle, so once you stake out a lane, stay there. I think some people got anxious, as I was there over 3 h...

Re: Think I scored again.... Unissued drums in carrier

I'd be in for a set. For $150 for sure. See if he will take a little less if you buy them all....

Re: Glock Links-MG74?

P.S.----Does any one have a manual that shows what Austria uses to load belts? It sure seems odd that they would "reinvent" the belt/link for the MG74.

Belt Comparsion Pics?

I tried to look at the Belt Comparison Pics but the links are gone. I have some of the new Belts with the spring looking connector between them (came with the MG3 drum packs). But I got some older ones held together by stamped metal connectors. Can I pull these apart and make various length belts? J...
