do you know yet if it was Bill V's?

[Vincent]

It was put together from mostly C1 parts. There’s a Sterling bit and the receiver is US made.

Very nice indeed Vincent, really well done!
How does she shoot? Semi only or rock and roll ?

Thank you. It's rock and roll. Just got it yesterday and haven't had a chance to shoot it. Maybe over the 4th holiday.

As we have come to expect from you Vincent, it's another excellent rebuild, very envious!

I look forward to your range report on how she sings.

Sure looks like many I was issued both in Recce and Mortar Platoons...over the years. Just about perfect. Flat new...now, let's get 'er warm shall we? Right about 1000 rounds ought to do it...

Thanks, Jim.

Oh yeah, we'll warm'er up for sure. I did pick up 1000 rounds just for this. Not sure if I can shoot'em all at once.

To me the differences between the C1 SMG and the L2A3 are interesting. The trigger mechanism is fascinating. It took a brilliant mind to invent it.

Yes, I had an L2A3 back a while too and looked closely. It was simple, ours was far more rudimentary, simple bolt, stamped concept. Mags specially...but they worked fine. Yes, trigger mech was uglier too than L2A3.

Well done. That has FUN written all over it.
