Peter, you must have some special VIP access. I can't find anything that stunning anywhere near that image. I used Postimage to load it. Not something I did. That I know of. I wonder.....Anyone else...
I bought one of these a while back for my future 601 project.

Lots of history with Browning and FN. The cocking lever and link look like an upside down BAR

42rocker, cool story with a who's who of manufacturers and parts suppliers. I welded the KMP style denials first, I struggled to keep the plate flat and to line up all the rivet holes, top cover and...
Thanks Daan Kemp. I found Denel when I was looking at guns that had found their way into Rhodesia.
Thanks 42rocker. Salt Flat, "machine shop" is a bit of a stretch. Its a collection of used and abused stuff that I waste my time on :D. Peter, I have seen the Denel (spelling?) South African open...
Thanks Low & Slow, with all the parts and info out there, its a straight forward build.
This is cross posted on another forum. I put everything else on hold to get this M2HB parts kit from Bowman Arms. Its an AC Spark Plug, Div. of GM. WWII gun in really nice shape. I bought the parts I...
+1 for the lead lined barrel vise. I made one to install the barrel on my 1918 BAR. It took quite a bit of torque to index, but didn't spin or mark the parkerizing....

Very cool pic, thanks. I see the tripod, I don't see a pintle or T&E for the 1919s or the M2. Doesn't mean its not there, I just can't find it. Too early for the M3 grease gun.
Every day I enjoy reading the posts here, and on other forums. I don't have much to say though, so I don't post very often.
Thought you might enjoy this. I did.

Over the years I have bought many things from Sarco and have been very happy with what I got. For the most part what they sell is as advertised. However, when you call customer service, a real person...

Seems like there is always one more pic I should take. A stop screw in the lower keeps the the latch pin from lining up with a hole in the lower. Remove the screw, align the holes, and push the pin...
Let me know if there is something I can take a picture of.

Thanks erik3D, thats interesting. Next time I have it out, I'll try to scratch those areas and see if they remained hard. I'm guessing C scale, HRC 53 is not that hard. They may be far enough from...
Nice work. Warping and shrinking are unavoidable and must be compensated for. I did not anneal the receiver, passing a torch over the welded areas only to help even out how they take finish. I found...
Nice job on the pins. Yes same gun.
