Thanks Terry. Just going to add a few my pics, but the I Pad battery died, so more to come in a few minutes time.

The MG looks great. Congrats.

What a strange contraption of a sight to stick on there.

is the scope an elongated PU3.5 scope without any turrets? If so I saw one of these for sale pretty cheap but didn't know what it was for!

[Adrian Stevenson]

Thanks for the comments and likes and the link. I did not have the manual, so that is much appreciated.

Here we have some more detail photos.

I should add you often see the mags with a webbing strap around them. This is to assist in loading. The mag body is turned in order to fill the drum.

Cheers, Ade.

That I don't know? But the ring mount is 35mm internal.

Cheers, Ade.

For some reason, Ive always liked MGs with the flip-up hinge on the rear part of the stock.
The part going over the shoulder just adds an extra measure of stability and prevents the MG from slipping whilst firing.
Not a small consideration during fast and furious combat and the fog of war.
For a relatively small MG with a telescopic stock to boot (always a compromise with collapsible or folding stock), it doesnt look like it would have been bad to fire at all.

Awesome bit of kit Ade. Any plans to get a T34 to fit it in?
