And thanks JBaum. See, this is why I come here. At this point, I'd be willing to pay to get it fixed and deal with the cost later. The wife does not need to know right now.

Thanks again 42rocker. I'll reach out to him.

In the manual, it says to use only military surplus fmj. The supply has definitely dried up, so I'm going to try that new Romanian 170 gr. Steel case stuff. Looks to be military-ish.

42rocker, Thanks for the response. I've been running the same ammo I bought with the gun: Yugo surplus in a green crate. From looking at pictures online, I assume it's the 196 grain stuff?

Is flemgunner a legit gunsmith, or someone that works on them on the side?

Hey folks. I've been in and out of this forum for a few years now, and you guys have always been helpful. So I turn to you for some help in finding a gunsmith that will work on a Wiselite M53. I bought it back in 2010 as a coming-home gift after my second tour in Afghanistan, and it's had problems e...

Hey oakrodent, sorry I couldn't make it out to the reenactment on sunday to check out your mg's and mine, but I was wondering if you had any other events that I could swing by during the near future? This past sunday I "got got" with landscaping duty. And I too want to see a gas-run MG, whatever thi...

Ah this is awesome. Oakrodent, what's the event at Horsham, PA on the 5th for? A WWII re-enactment? I don't know if it would be possible for you to look at the weapon there or not? But it would still be cool to check out a re-enactment. Somebody mentioned that if the gun is turned on the side and th...

Hey, this is turning out to be quite the informative thread! Oakrodent, would you be willing to take a look at the MG for a few minutes one day? Willow grove is not far from me at all. I live right outside philadelphia. I just want to get this weapon to go through a full 50 rnd belt without jamming....

Hey 42rocker and others, thanks for the quick responses! Yes, I am firing 8mm yugo surplus out of it. I do not hand-cycle ammo in it to test it, because there have been a few occassions where it picked up a new round and fired it automatically, without even looking at the trigger. And I completely a...

Hey Folks! Checking in here from Pennsylvania, with my large paperweight otherwise known as a Yugo M53 converted by Wise Lite Arms. Unfortunately, it's been nothing but headaches so far. So here I am, and hopefully somebody on this forum has a few ideas how to get this gun running correctly. Any hel...
