Back in 2010, Orin Harding, 762x51, was working on a translation of a Yugo manual on the M52 Lafette. He posted some pages of the Manual ( in Yugoslav) as a "show and tell" I downloaded the pages and just came across them doing a new hard drive and wondered if he had ever gotten it done. I have trie...

I know that this has been beaten to death over the years, but does someone have a WORKING re-build on a 43/53 kit that can tell me the length of the main spring they are using?? I am down to that point. I am using one of Pirates bolts and a FAL grip stick conversion. I will be using it with both 7.9...

With a NSN stock number on it, 12 is Germany, it is for the MG-3 series before they did away with the AA Tripod. There is no issue AA tripod for them in the German army at this time.

I think I have one of these conversions, PM me while I look for it. I never did get around to installing it.............

I put it "somewhere safe" so may take a while.

I have an Article by J. Curtis Earl about using Cast bullets in various MGs. He did the article in the 60-70s when the "cost of ammo was up to .07 cents a round" and he wanted a cheaper form of ammo for his business. He worked up loads for 30-06, 8mm, 7.62 NATO, .30 carbine, 9mm and .45 Auto. All in...

ATF sting?????

Thanks John, I will pass it around here. Some nut always manages to do that out in Washoe Late between here and Reno, bloody thing is only 6Ft deep but they still do it and have a fit.......................

Thanks again,

Looking in the book M4 Sherman by George Forty, on page 62 is a side shot of a M4A1 in British service in the Desert.

It is the closest thing I can find in the book with the cast hull and turret.

Hope that helps,

RoyRU:

Could you post the pictures on this board?? I think the page is asking me to join to be able to see them.

Thanks,

Chuckm

Check in Folke Myrvangs book, pp 305-330 for the Training Course that was used.

Good Luck,

Chuckm

Darvis:

Where is the Weapon Mount? ? ? ?

Thanks John. I think I will go for it and see what happens............................

P.S. The Reibert manual is next

Can some one tell me about the SARCO MG42 Lafette they are selling?? I was wondering if they are original or Yugos? What kind of condition are they in, complete,etc........I am not worried about it being a Yugo re-build as I am going to use it for my Semi and just want to have a correct one............

I would think that it must be early war or pre-war, as they changed to steel to conserve the brass. I use the "seal a meal" bagging for a lot of things, manuals, small parts, webbing, etc. and it works great

Chuckm

P.S. and the wife even uses it for food ! ! ! ! !

Thanks, I will look into getting a Tripod from them.

Thanks again

I was looking on the 'net and ran across a '42 tripod with the AA extension. It is on a site called hessenantique. Does any one know anything about this site??? I get REAL jumpy with anything with Hess.....in the title :lol: Seems to be a nice tripod and I may be able to afford it (if I can sell my ...

GOOD LORD ! ! ! ! ! !

I am with you, I hope that some of this gets to be fired and displayed correctly.

WOW ! ! ! ! !
