Not to be rude Harry. I appreciate Normes input, yours also. Looking over a few posts from you and you pal kitkat, you are quite prone to taking over posts as well. Smile, we love you.

Have you noticed anything peculiar about sub MG's that fire from an open bolt??? I've fired several, at military FamFire exercises, and was quite surprised...I mentioned it in another thread; when you next visit this friend, fire an MP-40 or Thompson unsupported and tell us/me what you noticed...

That's an very impressive collection.
However, as a personal preference, I would stick on pre-1945 models only. Douglas. |

I would have also said they generally have slower rates of fire Like the Thompson and M3 but the MAC 10's spit out a goodly number of rounds per minute. Then there is the crudeness factor but the Tommygun is exquisitely built. Regards, Doug

The Thompson is the only bullet hose I ever wanted to own...perhaps someday I'll get around to it.

And still fairly affordable, by SMG standards, thanks to the thousands produced by Auto Ordnance from the sixties through the mid 80s.
Now if you want to own a Colt or Savage........ |

hmmmmm, Washington STATE is not on the list and it is NOT a high crime area, nor is it full of liberals. Seattle is about 220 miles from where my parents live and 300 miles from where I lived near the Idaho border. I wish every thread, especially a fascinating one like this could stay away from political comments?

Also shot a Reising (loved it), but my favorite was surprisingly the MP18, it shot whatever I point it towards. Great fun! Ed

I have a M1941 Johnson semi-auto rifle, a rare gun and I love it. Now I would like to have a Johnson LMG(second picture), rarer still. Anybody with one for sale? Johnson made some prototypes of the gun in the third picture, but I can't find out if they ever went into production, so I doubt it.
There was a guy at the Tulsa gun show in April wearing a Johnson T-shirt and he had a M1941 Johnson rifle, like mine for sale. We chatted for a minute and then I told him I would like to have a Johnson LMG, he got in my face and told me I wasting my time, they never went into production, he's the "expert" I guess, after all he has the T-shirt to prove it. I hope I can find him again at the November Tulsa show, I will gladly relieve him of a hundred bucks. The neat picture from 1942 are paramarines, cool caps !

Ron,
The Thompson is the only bullet hose I ever wanted to own...perhaps someday I'll get around to it. You really should try an MP40. You are getting to an age..it would be difficult to hold up a Thompson...

If I had Jerry Burney's money, you can bet I would have this FG42 in my safe, it's for sale on Gunbroker. What a piece of eye candy. There are a lot more pictures on GunBroker, if interested.
Here: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=233213227 Text discribing the gun, just so you will know, $130,000 didn't hit the reserve. I am listing this FG42 for a friend. This is a near perfect example of a second model FG. Numbers matching. I have test fired this weapon and it shoots perfectly. This is an original C&R gun. The scope and mount are original to the gun. The GI who brought this gun home lightly marked the selector positions above the grip. When you are not familiar with one of these guns ( like he was) it was the smart thing to do at the time. It could be easily removed but it would loose some of its history. I will not give the reserve price to anyone to keep things fair. Buyer to pay actual shipping and insurance. Terms are 50% down and 50% after the transfer is aproved by ATF. This gun is on a form 3 and ready to transfer. |

Harry..If you had my money your hair would turn white, you would soil your pants and be pushing a shopping cart with all your stuff in it.
Nice MG..I am partial to subguns though.

semi-auto replicas of the FG42 nowadays. Cool! A MG with prostate problems!
