It will take a while I sure because I have to open the guy estate because his heirs did finish the transfer to them so there is some legal work being done before the form 4s can go in to the BATF but something are worth waiting on.

I was also going to note that I believe that that mount was for use on the US style tri-pod but I guess it might fit on a vehicle mount. The one I have is ex-Danish Army. The mounts that the Germans use for the MG3 on vehicles is much different. Harry
