    Collector Comments and Feedback:

    1. On some systems with Microsoft's Internet Explorer, after you click on images in the MKB to ENLARGE them, you may find they automatically size smaller in your browser's window making them hard to read. The auto sizing is your browser's way of keeping images entirely within the screen size you have set.

    If this happens, move your mouse pointer to the bottom right corner of the pic and hold it there. You will see a small box open up with four arrows point outwards and it will say "Expand to Regular Size". Click this box and the pic will open up to it's normal size and you should now be able to read any text and make out small details in the pic. .....

      I'm having great difficulty downloading this book from the site. I am looking for the section on the Italian Breda M30 LMG. Can someone with access to this book please send/forward me some pictures on the internal components of this gun, and/or any diagrams that show how these components all fit together?

      Thanks!

      I checked the link, as well as the PDF file itself and it's fine ...

      It's a 60 megabyte download and nobody could email it to you anyway, as it's far too big to be accepted by any ISP email provider.

      I assume you are using a PC with Windows. If so, as the instructions say, simply place your mouse over the picture, then Right Click on PIC and choose "Save Target As..." to download PDF file

      You'll see a drop down box for you to SAVE the file to wherever you want on your local computer.

      Regards,

      I'm guessing you have on of the kits.There isn't anything in that manual that will do you much good.Not much out there on one of those either.
