How many MG42 fans/owners out there?

I have a couple of non-funtioning MG42's, I have the anti aircraft tripod, the ground tripod and some accesories. One is a proper looking MG42 and the other is an MG3 with the different flash hider and top cover. Show some pics!.

The MG3

Believe me, I look forward to firing one myself!, we just have to go to the big machine gun shoot at Knob creek in Kentucky and hand someone $30.00 for a belt of ammo, completely legal. Mine were built using fake receivers (philidelphia ordnance), it is the only way to keep them legal. I want to build a semi-auto, but nobody has an ATF letter yet on an approved receiver they will share. There are 2-3 different folks making semi-auto receivers and I am sure they submitted samples, it just takes time. Check out this site for info, it is pretty cool.
