New (potentially expensive) toy...

[iamkris]

...but it does give me an excuse to play Sands of Iwo Jima in the basement. Or for this puppy, might be more appropriate to be day 4 of the 6-Day War.

• Israeli-surplus Browning M1919A4, 7.62x51mm
• Norwegian M2 tripod, pintle and DISA T&E

Now I just gotta get me one of these

Thank goodness I reload and have about 5000 rounds of components for .308

Rofl love the expression in the first pic.

My guess though is that if you have the money for that you have the money to play with your new toy.

Crank fire is mandatory for this one! Looks like allot of (expensive) fun!

Crank fire is mandatory for this one!

Yup! I've had it at the range and pulling the trigger "real fast" just doesn't do it.

I am very jealous!

Nice. So this is semi-auto and the crank fire allows you to shoot more quickly ala original Gatling gun?

I love mine. It will put a lot of rounds down range real fast. Super reliable and just plain awesome.

When you reload for it, make sure your rounds are seated out long enough. If you make them too short, the "grabber" won't pull them off the links properly.

You have nice toys, my mommie said I could spend the night.

Good advice...I'm loading a bunch of surplus 145 gr bullets but they aren't standard M80 profile. Seating length is 2.700". What is your experience...headed for trouble with that?
