Box arrived yesterday.

I've been in the same boat. Ordered in Feb and no news at all from them to date. Hope this is good news for all of us.

Thanks, makes sense, I noticed that on my set regardless of which ever piece goes on the left, the thinner rail will be down.

I've got a set of new rails. They appear identical except one has the number one painted on the inside and the other has the number 11. Can either one go on either side? It appears that if they are a correct set this would be the case. I don't have an old set of rails to compare thus the question. T...

Appears to be Portugese marked. Believe someone posted something on these on this board earlier. Still, gives some good ideas. Thanks.

Drooling, No problem at all. I really didnt specify that I was looking for a WW2 in that post. I plan on making a M53 too and I can eventually use it for that. BUt I am looking for a usable WW2 German sling too...........any ideas RR Racoon, I found a source for repro Afrika Korps canvas and leathe...

AHA! Thanks so much, that makes sense now. I thought it was a "mount", like, a "mount" :) That would be *GREAT* for a toolbench holder when doing gunsmithing work on it. I could put that in the garage, perhaps drill holes in the bench so I can remove it easily and presto I have a fully-clamped gun ...

PM sent.

Thanks for the photos and your info. I've got the WLA gripstick but now doubt that I'll use it. I think that for rigidity of the receiver I don't want to cut that much metal away. I'll probably go with Pirate's version or Panacea's.

John, I like your style.

Got the WLA gripstick too but I'm reluctant to remove all the metal between the ejection and grip slot. Looks to me like it would weaken the longitudinal stability of the center of the receiver considerably. Think I'll go with a different gripstick instead.

I agree, they are very useful.

I've dealt with Pete and he is a class act. I felt that the price was more than fair. The pieces are hard to come by, didn't want to burn them up gobbing on them myself.

Don't live too far away so I may try to check it out. Depends on the honey- do list that weekend. Thanks for posting the heads up.

Okey I'll step up, It looks great . How did you finally do it? Might be worth posting a graphic file as a sticky if you did the drawing on computer. Good work.

painted the 34 chest i was workin on and need a waffen to mark it, got some from another member but when i enlarge them to standard paper size for a stencil it is so destorted i cannot use it, also need the script for markings :D Jon at the liberator website talks about creating stencil fonts and c...

This site has the same potential, Id just love to see a step by step building tutorial like 1919a4.com has. http://www.salt6.com/pirates%20build.htm Umm, it tried to infect my computer with a trojan when I clicked the link. My virus software warned me of the same thing. It hasn't done this in the p...

I thing to be safe you should probably weld in the SA bolt stud and lengthen the grip stick slot so that it not hold the original full auto grip stick.

Deadline,

Thanks for the measurements and drawings. Very helpful and useful info throughout your posts, keep it up!
