I was reviewing some stickies and was wondering if anyone would want to follow up on this. It would be nice to tabulate findings on the use of different booster sizes, barrel bearings with different ammo etc...

Any thoughts?

All my cabin attendants are female!

I have never seen that on any flights I have taken. This should be the new standard for Flight Attendants.

WOW! First time seeing this post. What a great step by step build. Thanks Oakrodent. I would like to see action pictures at the range.
Thanks again

John's feed ramp guage solved a problem I had with my 42. His books are a valiable tool. A must have for anyone who operates these rare machines.
Many Thanks John

Post some pictures. Thanks in advance.

Russian roulette is a safer bet than letting ground crews handle your personal belongings.

Nice site. lots of good info for the beginner.

I have a full auto MG42 and have been using Romainian 8mm and Yugo 1979 8mm with no problems. I did run some 50's Yugo until I was advised about 60 year old ammo in an expensive investment. I also run Pakistan 7.62 with no problems. Good 8mm is becoming harder to find.

Some pictures would be nice

Thanks for the photo's. Very cool!

As usuall John is correct. Lafette translates to gun mount. Sometimes words have different meanings in translation. It would depend on the context. Lafette can also be translated to gun carriage.

nice job. Are you going to re-blue?

check this sight. Most aircraft use 12 or 24 volts DC.

I have a stock that is very similar. It has 5 wraps with a very faint hvo 44 makers code but no WaffenAmp visible.

Thanks for the info. I am about to paint my lafette.

"A Rifleman Went to War" is a great book that was, not sure if still is, a required reading for would-be snipers attending the U.S. Marine Corps Sniper School.
Prost!

That is impressive. I would not like to be on the receiving end.
Prost!!
