I was hoping to have my mg42/m53 really and bring it in Feb and I think that avman will bring his a...

Without it yes it's a paper weight unless you get some other cut parts of this website or ? and weld all together. Thanks...

Re: we need a range day get together

Range day get together sounds GOOD,,, but how about in Fla in Feb....

If not in Penn how about Hernando, Fl in Feb....

Not tring to move your shoot just a get together in Fla would also be nice..

However a trip back to Penn would be nice also, sometime.
