I am looking for a replacement eye cup for my ZF12 scope. My ZF12 is in absolutely mint condition, but the rubber eye cup has hardened and broken off. It is too nice to be kept in this condition...
Thank you. But, the rifles themselves are just the start of the SIG addiction. First you find the rifle, then you look for all the correct accessories. The large sized accessories (cases, scopes,...
To continue with the story: I got both of these rifles in used condition from different sources over the span of ten years. That is also true about the Meili rifle cases these rifles are now housed...
As you are well aware, I'm addicted to all this Swiss stuff. I hang my head in shame.
They are '80s import and in very nice condition. Both had been fired when I got them.
The 550-1 has a barrel with 1 in 10" twist rate while the 550-2 has a barrel with a 1 in 7" twist rate.

The receiver was made by PLF from St. Louis Missouri back in the day. It was assembled on a surplus Malaysian Army AR70 parts kit. It handles an shoots just fine and still retains the original...
I've had her for 16+ years. She's registered, fully functional, and transferrable. From what I can find on the inter-web, the first 2 digits in the serial number +55 = year of manufacture. Since her...
I bought it on a whim. The price was right and it looked to be in good shape, so I bought it. Around the same time frame, but at a different event, I stumbled on a Valmet 62. This time I knew how...
I do remember getting it from a California dealer at the old Austin Gun Show. But, I still cannot remember when that was. Maybe '87, or '88, or '89?
Amazing, isn't it?
What that a '28 Thompson or '28 Colt Argentine water cooled machine gun?
Those were the good old days. But, sadly those days are no more and led to the fixed supply of transferrable machine guns. With a fixed supply and increasing demand we get rising prices. It's...
It was registered as a DEWAT at the steel scrap yard in Norfolk. From what I understand, they had the contract to process the Navy's scraped weapons. When they found a weapon that could be used as...
I was not activated when I bought it. I got it tax free on a Form 5 as it was deactive. After it was in my possession, I applied to reactivate it via a Form 1 along with the $200 tax. Yep you can...
Based on s/n, 317564, this weapon was manufactured in October-November 1942 at Rock Island Arsenal. It was issued to the US Navy and served with the US Marine Corps in the South Pacific during WWII....

I guess this is my day to revive old threads. I didn't any better place to post pictures of my MG08. It is fully functional and legally registered. It is my understanding that such an old '08 is...
I found this old thread that is the perfect place to post a few pictures of my inter-war MG08 squeeze trigger. I got it many, many, years ago from a fellow in Paris France. It works just fine.

OK. I'm on a picture taking tirade today. Here are some pictures of my L1A1. They are in no particular order. I tried to get a shot of every "number" or marking I could find.

I have been asked to show how Doug marked his BRENs. Well, here is how mine is marked:

I have no clue. All I know is that David Watts was providing them a while back. From what I can remember, this was how LMGs were provided to airframe builders and how armorers cared for them. Each...
A friend purchased a single man tracked aircraft bomb loading vehicle at one of their auctions for next to nothing. It was listed as "parts only, dead, and not capable of operation" at the auction. ...
I have an LMG 08/15. The weapon is live, legally registered, and fully transferrable. It is fired from a home made cradle and mounted on an M2 tripod. According to what I could determine, the LMG...
This is a fun plinker and the perfect weapon to train children and women to shoot. They have no recoil, no muzzle blast, and no muzzle flash. Plus, they are light and accurate enough out to 100...
