I see those blanks in that belt?.....Gunny, are you a WWII re-enactor, and are you looking for a home ? :D

Let me know, because you would be welcomed in 'GD', and the 2ndSS. (We do both)

Bring it to KCR this shoot in April, we will be glad to met you in the 'Jungle'.....jw,bob h :o

TheGunny,
Nice looking MG42.......mine is a CRA gun and fires both live and Blanks great.

If you would....because I sell Blanks to reenactors....let me know a little more about your Blank-Adapting set-up.

In my CRA MG42...I prefer the 2-pcs. Blank-Barrel and do not use a booster-cup/"nozzle"...so that I can get a little more noise...and faster RPM......how does your MG42 work?

Regards, RichardS.

PS: I also help with "Blank-Adapting" "challenges"....never a problem. We have set up many an MG42....and MG34 using not only "case-length" Blanks, but both in 7.62x51mmNATO.

I also have a M-1 Thompson for my Allied impression and a M-16A1 for my Nam reenacting! :lol:

We had this semi-professional photographer guy running around the battle taking all these shots and I snagged this one from him.......I'm not that good of a photographer!

You did notice the sights weren't flipped up! Kind of funny, I thought. You're better off taking that shot and photo-shopping it to get what you want. I probably won't see this guy till next years season. (too hot to play down here in Texas)
