John's a bit strong but he's right about the ammo you have. It's risky to use because of the the locations of where it came from, the quality. However, 1970's steel cased Romanian is still not bad for old surplus ammo. Some people use 1950's Yugoslavian despite the hard primers, because the MG-42 ca...

This is what I did with my new motorcycle a few weeks ago. I got it stuck. Then I got it out again by flipping it into the cylinder head and rotating it so it faced in the direction LEAVING the swamp. This is a new to me 2003 R1150GS Adventure with 115,000 miles on it, and I bought it to USE it... a...

I sold my lafette, so I can't be much help. Could someone who has one please post pictures of the springs? They could be easily replicated if he could get an idea of the size/shape of them...

REASONABLE is whatever a buyer is willing to pay for it. Just sayin'... I hope you find one. Parts like that are getting more scarce each year. It's hard to anticipate what parts you might want or need ahead of time, but stockpiling earlier DOES pay off. If anyone has a spare bolt, I'm sure you'll h...

Sorry, Bil...

I'm still using your "L" as my middle initial. Can't have it back yet.

Wilkommen amtrac1833!

Bil is BACK!

Get back in the water, Bil...

I voted Yes. For all those who think Bil will be lost among the zillions of Bills out there, he should use this as his name: BilL

PROBLEM SOLVED.

If he hasn't found his second L by now, he never will. Probably didn't make the effort to look under his bed...

DaFOK, Bil? Where you been??? I've been saving up sarcasm for you for TWO YEARS already! Hope you're ready. Welcome back! Why didn't you get your second L back by now? Had enough time...

You coming to my machinegun shoot this Summer?

Amen!

You lucky guy.

Willkommen, Kamerad!

Southern folk think Minnesota is covered with snow year round and rarely come up to enjoy our warm summers. Fall is awesome up here.

All MG slings will have a waffenamt? I mainly collect k98k and the opposite is true, be weary of a waffenamt marked sling. I'll see if he will check. It's for my friends deactivated me, and I'd never carry my love one by a sling regardless haha. The hardware should have a waffenamt. See BergFlak's ...

The sling is of the correct type for an MG-34 or MG-42 but MAY be of postwar manufacture. You have to check the metal clip that attaches to the pistol grip and look for a Waffenamt marking, which is an eagle with a three digit number code underneath. The code corresponds to whatever factory made the...

I just HAD ta ask...!

Can I have one?

Wow, was last weekend great! The weather was perfect. I went up 50 miles north of Detroit Lakes, MN to help my brother in law close down the lake cabin on Big Elbow Lake for winter. Perfect temperature, no mosquitoes, incredible sunrises and sunsets on the lake! I cruised the winding narrow gravel r...

Where the heck is Bil? He can explain it much better than I.
