Have been busy and missing from the boards a while. Here are a few more: Running the plate rack with the 28. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/Shooting/P1070605.jpg Some MP40 with the stock folded. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/Shooting/DSCN0581.jpg Unfortunately, n...

These are some pics from our recent shoots. A member's MG15. He forgot his AA tripod and I had my Portuguese tripod with me. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/Shooting/P1070613.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/Shooting/P1070612.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums...

I haven't been back since the move started. Have heard that with budget cuts, there are no plans to build the museum at Fort Lee. How much is left at Aberdeen? It was a shame to dismantle it and then shelve the plans for the new museum. Looks like the Hetzer shared the same fate of most of the Germa...

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Just sold a nonmatching dot gun in good shape from an estate for $11k late last year. We made sure it ran and advertised it as such. Have seen them in the $9k to $12k range with the occasional gun in the high teens that is probably wishful thinking. Matching numbers, condition, and accessories could...

You've probabaly already seen the ad, but Ohio Ordnance is offering 75+ MG34 lafette tripods for $15k. We're clearing out one of our rows in the warehouse! 75-80 near complete MG34 Tripods and two crates full of miscellaneous 34 tripod parts. We will have to set up freight shipping or available for ...

I'd be glad to e-mail you the original files for anything you like. I have a lot of detail shots of the King Tiger and of others that I have not posted. Also have quite a few of Brit, US and Com Bloc armor if there is anything specific someone might like to see.

I have a post war AA tripod on the way and confirmed Interordnance / Royal Tiger is still out of the 34 adapters for the 42 AA tripod. My primary interest is shooting, but originality never hurts, when possible. IMA lists a vehicle mount and a early MG13 compatible AA head. http://www.ima-usa.com/in...

I put some more armor pics in the German general discussion photos.

Not German, but how about this mobile artillery?

My favorite German AFV, the Jagdpanther, at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Just look at the lines. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/armor/P1000415.jpg Imperial War Museum http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/armor/HPIM0319.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/ar...

These are some pics from the ordnance museum at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. The ordnance school and part of the museum have been moved to Fort Lee, Virginia. These were taken just before the move. Several MG-34s including an S http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/misc%20gun...

Sorry, I don't check the boards as often as I would like. Would be happy to e-mail you the original files to play with. Here are a couple action pics. I like the twisting belt and empties in this one. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/misc%20guns/P1060349.jpg http://i92.photobucket.co...

Not to highjack the thread, but did someone mention Panzer Mk II? http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/armor/HPIM0910.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/armor/HPIM0916.jpg Here is the last variant, the Luchs http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/armor/HPIM089...

BRP has partial MG34 kits starting at $435 listed on their site. Everything has good descriptions and pictures. These aren't cherry kits, but don't look too bad for the listed prices.

This a 42 mounted in the AA position of a Panther. These pics are from the Musee des Blindes in Saumur France, well worth the trip. http://museedesblindes.fr/ http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/armor/HPIM0881.jpg http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/armor/HPIM0874.jpg I bel...

Both are live guns. The MP40 is transferable and the MG34 is a presample.

Ryton Arms does have a website.

There is a set(s) listed just like this one for $210.

There is a really nice English couple who visit the Chantilly, Virginia gun show. They are from Ryton Arms in the UK. Historically they have sold Thompson parts and I bought a beautiful 1928 Thompson kit from them. The last time I saw them a few months ago they had the drums and carriers, new belts,...

I purchsed this drum and carrier set a couple months ago and would like to know if it is original or refurbed. The carrier is a darker green than the Yugo green. There is a hint of tan paint under a couple scratches. the carrier is marked wa 43. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l1/ThompsonSMG/misc%...

I snapped a couple pics during a recent range trip. The 34 is a dot 44 and the MP-40 is a Erb tube gun.
