Nice shipping crate. Is that built from drawings? Is it original?

Nice shipping crate. Is that built from drawings? Is it original?

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 pilot was very particular on how his MGs were set up and cared for. Some had 08/15 boosters and some have 08 boosters. I found that piece of information very interesting. I have two original 08 booster pistons and they have different sized orifices. I assume the smaller the orifice, the more boost and higher rate of file. I know that's true with an MG34. It would also be true with an LMG.

That would be correct...

Not sure if everyone was aware but for members outside of Canada/US there was no access permitted for many months! Seems permissions have been re-established!
