My M53 arrived today!
Its been a long Monday, THE BIG BOX arrived at the FFL dealers shop today. I have to find a tripod and a few more accessories still, but here are a few pics.
i am on a car message board, and i must say this place has a great, friendly vibe.
if its allowed in the rules, i will dig my black Anniversary 911 Carrera out of the garage, and have some "German" content pics of the m53 and th Porsche.

That is sweet!! I had fun building mine,but there is a lot to be said for opening a big box and finding one of these inside,all ready to go! Very nice.And yes,we try to be real civil and not get carried away,there are some pictures here already of some cool cars and guns,so an all German picture would fit in nicely.Before you get done getting all the toys,they will both cost about the same,or at least it nwill feel like it! ---bil

VERY NICE, WLA really does a great job on these, but it looks a little hungry
Hopefully another box arrives with its food, that is belts and belts of 8mm

Re: My M53 arrived today!
thanks guys for the warm welcome. i dont have the time or skills to build one of these, and have been wanting one since the semi's were first whispered about. i work hard for what i have, and yes there is a little bit of ammo and a few belts. i am looking for some Romanian 8mm, but AIM's price has doubled since i last bought some for my 1919. but, i would rather get what i can now, before the politics and economical climate ruins everything we know and love.

Nice looking guns! Those WLA M53’s are really nicely done. Hat’s off to Wise Lite for doing their homework on them.
On the ammo, Aim has 380 round tins for $99 with .01 cent shipping right now.

This Romy is what your M53 will love to eat. Probably about as cheap as it’s gonna get in today’s market IMHO.
I stocked up a couple of years ago when it was $27.00 a tin…boy how times have changed. But even at $99 I’m still thinking about buying another case or two just because it may dry up completely soon…you never know.
Cool 1919 too BTW!

Nice nothing is better than the joy of a Mg42, is it auto or did you get a modified semi-auto one?
Re: My M53 arrived today!
