Nice stuff Bill ..Are any class 3?

Hey bill where did you get the Receiver for the Water cooled ? I think I want one now saw one @ the Last Show I attended & think that IMA still sells them is that where you got yours?

[Bil]

Hey Rocco- I bought my 15 in a private sale,one of the guys here.The receiver is made by onother member here,Orin.I cant remember his board name off the top of my head.Look in the F/S section-he is making 80% receivers right now,there may be time to jump on it! His receiver is very well built,I dont think it would be much of a problem to make into a SA.There is also someome selling a 15 here in the last week,I think it is still there.I saw the 15s for sale in SGN,and a web site.They also had the air-cooled model.I thought the price was reasonable,5 or 6 hundred.Nice looking guns.The one I got was more,the guy really had put together a lot of good parts.The drumms dont usually come with the kit,they are about 400 by themselves.I had one,and got one with it.He also had the carry handle,they can be hard to find .The butt-stock had very good leather,another plus.There was an extra trigger/butt section with it [dont know the proper name].I think the extra is for an air-cooled.There is also a clip for a mg13,that I think can/will work.The drums are spring loaded,and hard to load.There is a guy here and on Gunbroker selling repro loaders.All in all,this is a neat gun,and would look good in your collection! I bet this is more than you expected when you asked!! ---bil

Hey Bil,
great looking display you have there. Very nice water cooled mg15 setup. I have the air coooled 15, a mg34, 1919a4/6, variuos others but a water cooled 15 is on the want list as well as mg42, browning .50, and BAR.
Thought I had a line on a 42 kit last week but they were gone when I called.

Anyway, nice collection!
