The latch and spring seem fine. The flash h...

Re: MG42 sound Recording

We'll be having an Automatic Weapons class on October 7 and 8, where we'll fire all of the MG's in inventory. If that date won't work for you, we can set somthing up for you for the price of the ammo. Ca...

Which manual covers the zero process for the optical sight? Is the zero set at 25m at the 0 setting? New tripod owner sans manual needs to know!

Anybody know the spec for the width of the block and the opening in the tripod lock. My calipers are up at the shop, I'll ...
