Semi Auto Madsen LMGs

10-4 Rocker. Thanks.

When I would ship parts with USPS ( gun parts), I always referred to them as “ machined parts”....I think I would actually ship guns under same heading, but it has been a while. I am sure at some point in my life, the post office would ship guns, but that had been many years ago.

Cinders, guess I have had pretty good luck up until this fiasco. Now my attitude with UPS has soured.

Only way to send firearms with USPS is thru an ffl, which I am not. UPS is pretty much the last option for a collector to sell, transfer and ship. I stopped selling pistols thru GB a number of years back when they started dictating priority overnight and charging $50 bucks for shipping. That was because THERE OWN PEOPLE WERE PILFERING THE GUN PACKAGES! Ateazt that is what I understood the change was about. Great, make US pay for their security problems.

FINALLY took said rifle to the range and it works 100%. Now, except the devaluating piece of garbage I have for a stock, the gun is fun to shoot. Need to get cranked up with 8mm reloading.

What 8mm surplus would people recommend? Modern stuff is running a buck a round. Surplus is hovering between 45 cents and upwards of a dollar. Guess I will start with some smaller lots of surplus types and see what works well, although the stuff I was shooting was really old Greek surplus. No date on head stamp. Amazed it worked like it did. Sign of a solid gun I guess?

Glad to hear the good range report. Even with a less than perfect stock. I'll keep on asking about a better stock for you.

Thanks BAR. I used to visit Sub Guns a LOT years back, but have not peaked in on them in ages. There Title 1 and parts/accessories is much smaller than it used to be. Guess it is just the hard core MG guys now. Still, I would expect more PARTS!? lol.
I appreciate it.

OK, think I have a genuine stock on it's way. From Armslist. I don't buy much from that site, but he had some left over demilled parts AND a complete stock without cracks. It is definitely surplus, but that is OK. Better than the cobbled back together one I have now. This stock coming looks more like Walnut as well, so anxious to receive it.

If I could find a stock maker to turn them out, I would probably order about a dozen nicely made walnut stocks as replacements. Anybody know a stock maker that does small runs?

I found your post on your search for a Madsen Lmg stock when I was looking for a way to convert my kit to semi auto. My friend where I got the kit from also needs some stocks made to complete some of his kits and I was going to make a few for him. I would make them with out the mono pod hole. He has 1926 and 1946 models.
Would you still be interested in some stocks if I did a run for him?
What model is yours?

Thanks Ed

Hi Ed, Thanks for contacting me! Yes, I am still interested. Sorry my response was so delayed. Been away from the site for a while.

It is very nice of you to step up and offer your services. If you have any interest, once a few are turned out, you may want to offer some here for sale? Although there still seems to be VERY FEW Madsen semi auto members on the site...?

I know you're worried about it arriving and how to do it but maybe it can be figured out. I'd ship as machine parts too, have for some time.
