Hmmmmm

Gun looks familiar. Tripod does too.

Where you been?

I have finished redoing my tripod based on what I learned from examining yours!

Weather is starting to cool off and today I sent in the transfer for the 1917A1.

Cheers

Harry

Thanks gents.

Got it from Ken in Cincy. Harry, Are you in Florida and does your last name start with B?

Matt, I'm in Central Florida and occasionally shoot at Hernando. Haven't been to Ocala in a few years.

FNG, that's funny.

Yes, I'm in St. Augustine and my last name does indeed start with a B.

I'm thinking you're a friend from Jax who has a rig looks just like yours but he didn't get it from Kenny K. I remember seeing Kenny offer a very nice Mg34 for sale a while back.

If you're not Andrew then who are you? Inquiring minds want to know!

Wow great gun! I wanna C&R license!

Post by **DARIVS ARCHITECTVS** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 6:50 pm

In many states you do not need a C&R license to own C&R registered guns. The license does allow guns to be shipped to your residence, which saves you FFL transfer fees. The downside is that you are required to keep a log of all purchases and disposals (hopefully these are sales, and not destructions). C&R guns are the MOST expensive is they are FA guns, though. One reason for owning them is that your possession of the firearms does not depend on you renewing your license (which is inexpensive thankfully).

Beautiful!!

Thanks. Shot it for the first time over the weekend (along with my MP44). :snoopy:

It ran like a scalded dog.

Couldn't believe I was shooting an 8 x 57 round at 850-900 rounds per minute. :mg:

Couldn't fit the Lafette into the wife's sports car and I couldn't find my bipod, so I shot it resting on a plastic tool box on a shooting bench. It was still pure ecstacy.

Everything about it. Kinda like rough sex (my shoulder is bruised). It made tingly feelings below the beltline.

The '44 was sweet also. Just sat there and vibrated. Now I know why they've always been two of my favorite guns of all time.

My, this is smooth brandy.

I think i need one of those!!!

While you were shooting slowly at your end, some of us at our end were shooting at 1200 rpm.
Also, how much ammo did it take to bruise your shoulder?
Mine was fine after 1500 rds.

I hope the tingly feeling was not a 20mm case head?

I heard that '42 ripping down at that end (or was that the XMG?). As far as the bruised part, it's the boney part of the top of my shoulder. I'm fat on the inside, but skinny on the outside. Actually, it's been my experience that the '42 has a nice smooth push back. The '34 beats on you a little. Not that I'm complaining (no such thing as bad full auto fire -when you are on the right end of it - or bad sex........again, when you are on the right end of it).

For such a small shoot, there had to be 40-50 machineguns there. Other than the AD from down the firing line that ended up in the ground about 10 feet in front of our position (which made us wonder what/ who the next errant round might strike), it was a great day.

I know Alan and almost shot the 20mm at Hernando. I was so busy this past Creek, I didn't make it up to the firing line to try it. Glad I didn't, because I go into shock easily from being perforated by large chunks of brass, lead, steel, large needles, etc. Glad he's doing better.

Side note: I've been hot for a Steyr Solothurn S18-1000 for about 20 years, but I have a concern (maybe overly paranoid) about detonating a 20mm round right next to my head in 60 + year old steel. Retinal detachment not withstanding, having survived a "too close for comfort" explosion in my younger more adventuresome years, I'm not thrilled about that prospect. I've become much more sensitive to explosions, shrapnel, etc as I've gotten older.

Are you more sensitive to "Shrapnel" or Shrapnle"?

WaffenUndBier · Post by **WaffenUndBier** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 9:51 pm

Do you mean "schrapnel" or "shrapnel?"

Mike · Post by **Mike** » Sat Nov 04, 2006 9:28 pm

Yes, I stand corrected.

WaffenUndBier · Post by **WaffenUndBier** » Sat Nov 04, 2006 10:25 pm

I know what you meant, what I meant was the "Whit" spelling or the "Edski" spelling?
