Re: Test Firing My New M53

Re: Test Firing My New M53
Purchased it from my local gun store: it took them less than a week to receive it.
Came in a crate, new in pristine condition, without a single scratch and a great finish, with extra belts in an ammunition can.

Test Firing My New M53
Test fired my new M53 and put over 500 rounds of surplus 308 through it.
Sprayed it with a light coat of Lithium Grease, along with some unwanted small amount of dirt and sand:day was windy.
Did not have any major issue, and it ran like a charm.

Gas Gun
Check the California Historical Group (CHG) Website: under German units, the 12th SS just mounted a similar gas gun onto the ir halft track and used at their last battle at Camp Roberts.
Quite impressive when it fired against Allied Vehicles.

You are better off getting one from Allegheny, which comes with a nice set of repro sling straps: bought mine form them: placed my order over the phone and within a week received it, for $995.00 plus shipping. The straps from IMA can vary in their finnish: bought an extra set and ended with an old l...
