Belt Fed owners chime in!!

The current semi MG 42-s have had considerable problem with the rear of the frame cracking. Apparently they have corrected the problem, as it was a thinning in the metal due to the stamping process used. It is too bad that someone could not buy MG3 frames out of Pakistan who till make the MG3 and do the conversion to semi, but unfortunately in the US..once an MG always an MG. I think with some re-engineering in the dies they Pakistani guns could be a dedicated semi mode, but it would just take someone with the money to put up front for 250 to 500 units to get their attention. I wonder if SARAC in BH could be talked into doing a deal, but then how many would you sell in Canada?? The market here is so small it is not worth the efforts.
My .02 cents..
 
I have a semi auto 1919 but alas im in bantario too far for a shoot

while on the topic marstar any chance of more 8x63 swedish ammo...... you know we will buy it all again......

Nope:confused:........not sure why you would think I was....I am talking semi auto belt feds, I am very new to this but if there are problems you for see give us a heads up. It should be able to be pulled off as safely as any other rifle competition in my mind.

My thinking is non restricted, rifle caliber semi auto, should not be a problem at any range. If it is and there are restrictions I am unaware of let me know. If a range is out of the question I think I could arrange something on neiboring private properties. I have a neighbor that Is an auto wrecker of sorts and I see lots of potential targets in his inventory...

As I say, Im new at the civilian belt fed thing, but in my mind non restricted is non restricted?:)

your right the market is tiny, and the availability of surplus ammo is even smaller.
but a SA copy of MG42/MG3/M53 would be amazing
I would definitely buy one

The market is small, and so it was with precision rifles now everyone wants to reach the mile and beyond mark. I have spent dollars on precision rifles that would buy me a few belt feds....not bragin, just trying to make a point, Its a matter of letting people know whats available...putting together a format and interest in a sport and let it grow from there....demand = available supply of ammo, parts and what-ever. I had no Idea belt fed semi's were legal in our country until a few months ago and once I heard I went hunting.

I think if there is enough people shooting beltfeds, and they get together intrest will grow and next thing you know you got a new club and hobby.

Prime example is Cowboy mounted shooting....wifes new interest.....You want to see a growing handgun sport that is like driving a ferrari and shooting all in one....this is it.

I have a friend in Edmonton who told me It has increased significantly his students going to attain thier restricted PAL's. these guy's have battled for permits to take thier pistols to rodeo's and comunity events and have been very successful, why put the breaks on, it is possible with a little work and dedication.

All im looking for right now is a few people to hook up with have some sh*ts and giggles and learn some things. Let develope what develops.
