I buy my ammo from www.sgammo.com (free shipping for orders over $200) 8mm is currently $1.10 per round non-corrosive new S&B manufacture (price per 400 rd case, smaller amounts are available for slightly more in price) 8mm corrosive is about $0.62 per round

While I am partial to the MP-38 (with MP40 cocking handle) I also favor the Beretta 38/42... but I think the most reliable would be either the Finish Soumi or the Australian Owen SMG (see on Youtube the Canadian WWII training video comparing the Owen with the 1928 Thompson and STEN and MP38...

I have the three volume set (along with a ton of other reference books) I am going to sell... still compiling my list and pricing.

I saw one for sale today at Ozark Armory in Springdale AR with matching bolt to receiver, no serial numbers anywhere else. Looks like Czech lion stamp on side of receiver. Stock looked well used and had a Ethiopian disk in stock. I think they want $695 for rifle.

Mine must be Argentine style then as it looks like first photo. Not like SARCO wouldn't have misleading advertising...

On the ground you might notice the Ulan lances laying flat behind the firing line. A number of these Ulan lances were imported by SARCO about 20 years ago. I had to drive over to their store in NJ back then to purchase one and strapped it to the side of my car to get it back home as it was too...

I have seen similar discoloring on firearms that have had been "cleaned" with the wrong solvent that ate away at the blueing. And I have seen similar discoloration on firearms that had been exposed to fire / flame. (or excessive heat)

Planning to do import /export of parts? The Prosecuting Attorney and Judge will say that you have a "duty to be informed" to do "due diligence" of all regulations, and a duty to know where any parts you ship over seas are going to end up. And to stay current of any change in regulations...

Criminal Charges over the years for import/exports vs. "tin foil hats" I was in charge of export compliance for our company for a number of years. We had a whole department whose job it was to keep the company out of legal jeopardy. There are certification courses that were mandated for the...

ITAR violation "...Tell him that your auction specifically stated no international sales but offer to ship it to a third person if he has someone in the US who would send it to him." This activity may be considered conspiracy to violate ITAR by being a party to doing this! AND there is an...

Arkansas Collector I live in Fayetteville Arkansas. Been collecting since 1972 (MP40's 98k's etc.) though almost all collection now gone since retirement. Be glad to share information with you. Best Regards, Rich Urich

Unless there are 1/4" torch cuts to the receiver per BATF specs... I don't believe this parts kit to be "legal" "Band cuts" are NOT sufficient to be considered legal as they are considered too easy to reweld. The rule of thumb is can the receiver/kit be made to fire ONE ROUND from EIGHT HOURS...

Did you see the Lugers?
