Same here...got some help from Rick and I knew that duplicating the MB would be very pricey unless 100 minimums could be meant. I'm developing a insert and will follow up here with those results, Danke Sehr for your reply!
Yes I love it! It served much more of the conflict than Number 2 so once adapted I'll help free El Duce... Ha Ha Have the scope as well. Been ringing the bell at 400 yards in style!
Seems the gooberment is going to keep us locked down till the next election...If H1 doesn't fly
Wow! An insert is a great idea. I hope it works out. I look forward to hearing from you on it. Good luck!
That's great!!
Thanks! I'll post results after testing the first few I have made. Just waiting for my friend to return from his trip then rendezvous at his machine shop.
Thanks...I hope you get yours soon... I will say I did have a few dead primers and 2 FTE after about 70 rounds.. A dab of oil and a wipe down of the gas piston, net 80 or so flawless! I also ordered the deflector so zero brass marking issues on the receiver..
The wait is long but well worth the reward.. Kudos to Rick for making one of the most unique and unobtainable WW2 weapons a tangible reality..
I know it's not original to the Type E / I production variant but I think it is of the utmost importance to have the optional brass deflector, pay a few hundred more to protect the pristine finish of a rifle you just paid nearly $7,500 for. It's a no brainer to me, I opted for the brass deflector as well.
Then yours is even closer to resembling an original, I just can't help obsessing over maintaining the bluing on my firearms. So it was my preference to opt for the deflector
Nearly ready to test 2 proto inserts. Also found someone to take a stab at creating a copy of the MB as a BFA. It will include dimples simulating the perfs and two grooves painted red to make it obvious it's a BFA to ideally make it fool proof.
