Twin Gun Worth?
Twin Gun Worth?
What would a pair of 8mm SA42's, along with a Twin AA mount for them, be worth?

I have one of the twin mounts and like to shoot off it.
The major draw back is the size and weight.
You can take the cradle off the top and one person can move the base, legs and cradle in a truck, will not fit in my car.
There is a safety issue, the first time I shot it and one of the MG-42 quit.
I was surprised at the torque developed with the recoil of one gun not on the center line.
When other people shot it, I stood behind them to grap it so it did not clear the firing line.
Before I take it to a public shoot again, I will have anti-rotation stops installed.
