Way off topic....... Machine pistol fun!!!

[G.T.]

Hi Bob & Rick! Bob, those are great pictures! It's nice to see that some people still know how to have fun, no matter where there located..... and Rick, I have thought of the American 180 several times over the last few years, (along with M-16's with a dedicated .22 upper), but, there seems to be some advantage in aquiring Machine guns that also fall into the C & R class of firearm... all though I don't know all the facts...it has something to do with interstate travel along the lines of gun shows and displays? Also I failed to mention... the lower receiver of the MP-40 was made from a red bakalite very similar to P.38 grips... there was another spare receiver made from black bakalite which also resembled the P.38 grip material, both of them were shiney with wood pulp filler... it appears to me that the luger grips required a pure resin so that it could properly form the checkering, as I've never seen Luger grips with wood or canvas filler! Although I didn't look to closely at the grips on the MP-40, I don't think they had any filler... they were black and I believe, ribbed? Can't remember, by that time I was having way too much fun! till...later...G.T. <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />
