Apologies for absence. Blame Mr Putin. Looking to re-energise this thread and of course I am still looking for key items, purchase or exchange.
Happy Christmas everyone.

Interesting that none of the pictures (that I looked at anyway) showed MG08's mit ruckstarkverstarker (sp?) which is a simple metal plate mounted to the barrel for escaping gases to impinge upon thereby returning the recoiling barrel to battery quicker speeding up the cyclic rate. An MG08 mit schlitten und ruckstarkverstarker was my very first ever DEWAT I owned in Canada so many years ago. I've attached a file photo showing the plate, unfortunately I don't think I have any pictures of my MG08 which I sold a long time ago.
Sapper740 have a look in the MG08 thread please. This is the 08/15 post but great info thanks. Great shame you do not have her anymore.
