    The FG-42 is probably one of history's most over rated weapons, innovative as it was, it certainly was not without fault. SMG in Texas makes a semi-auto version of the FG-42 however they use a machined receiver.

    Say Peter did you ever have an EM-2 cross your path? I believe the designation was No.9MK1

    EM's, Yep. We had two or three of them. There is some dispute about the designation, whether it's a No9 or a No10 rifle. One of the provisional handbooks has been amended from No9 to No10 with an amendment date too. Another report says that press coverage of the particular rifle should be referred to as a No10. I wonder whether the 7.62 variant was to be a No9 - or 10 or vice verca. VERY overrated Like giving a soldier a Triumph GT6 Pi system and telling him to strip and assemble it. On second thoughts, it wouldn't be as simple as that! Jusy my opinion

    Yep, that's Bruce's collection. He always treated me like I was somebody and presented a display award for 7.62 Lees I did for the NRA Annual Meetings in Pittsburgh, PA back in 2004. Good people.

    The majority were auctioned off a couple of years ago.
