    PRK Type 73......a "PKBren"!!

    Whoa. Wait,,,,,,,WHAT???

    So, in my efforts at a suitable magazine to use for my Bren MkII 7,62x54R conversion, I come across this monstrosity. Now, I -LOVE- my PKM, probably the BEST LMG ever designed, but I have to wonder on the reasoning behind this.........even worse rationale for this than the older CZ vz 52/57.....

    So, there exists a true 30rd magazine for the 7,62x54R cartridge. Interesting. Just need to send over 'Team America!' and have Lil' Fat Kim let a few of them go and I'm set. ;-)

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Some one did a belt fed Bren using a GPMG top cover, looked better than the BSA made belt fed Bren.

    So, do we assume that Korean Armourers repair their guns with black masking tape?.................................

    That chrome one must be the officer's version. Yes, that banjo buttstock is hideous, but I'd love to wring one out.
