Mines started life as a German SP89. It like to be well lubed. I just replaced the extract & spring, and mine prefers heavier ammo. I was burning current Lake City ball with is really to light.Man i tried to run a MP5K with a sear pack, ran like dog shit, made me dislike the platform immensely. never again. Was also a PTR so there is that. Put the semi pack back in and sold it.
I couldn't afford the feed chute for it.
MG's are more fun if someone else is supplying the ammo!I couldn't afford the feed chute for it.
I use to go to an exclusive shoot by invite only. I know for a fact I was the poorest amongst the millionaires & billionaires. I was given offers to shoot so much & generally turned them down. As I told them I don't get to shoot my own as much as I would like.MG's are more fun if someone else is supplying the ammo!
I've been in that situation many times and always found it quite unsettling. On movie sets, hanging out with rock stars, etc., the "imposter syndrome" is often almost strong enough to bring on a panic attack.I know for a fact I was the poorest amongst the millionaires & billionaires.

Ben I never felt that at these machine gun shoots. I had a billionaires wife clearing my dirty dishes away asking if I care for more wine. She offered me the bottle seeing as so few were drinking what she opened. I had lunch with a guy who owns 3 car dealers ships talking about Electric Vehicle not as here's my card, rather what a big money scam for the dealers.I've been in that situation many times and always found it quite unsettling.

Hard to believe that I turned down a 150 rounds through a min gun. I figured it would be over way to fast. Several versions of Ma Duce, for my aching back problems. My very first time there I shared a room with a stranger. His friend came up just to shoot & had the nicest Thompson 21/28 navy over stamped I ever seen. He was an author of a couple of books on Thompson's. He offered it to shoot & told him I was content seeing my face in the finish of the blueing.
This was long ago & actually my very first time at this shoot. It Tok me years to figure out a way in. I guess because it was by invite they all figured I was OK.I bet I know that guy.
My favorite "collector" Mg was a MINT Colt Thompson 1921AC which I regrettably sold when the new administration was coming in. Couldnt trust what he was going to do. Lots of crazy promises. I firmly believe it was the nicest Colt Thompson on the planet. The one gun I TRULY regret selling.
As far as shooters it's hard to beat an M16. So versatile. Have set ups in 5.56, .22LR and 5.45x39 back when it was cheap.
The transferable I wish I had would be an M16 drop in auto sear. My M16s are almost too nice to shoot. Almost
I love to coax you out to shoot some time. I know your torn up & life is hard. you should tell your Nurse handy story in the mancaveI'll stick with my Stoner 63a or my Swedish BAR
That Thompson is SWEET! But, between J. Curtis Earl 'upgrading' countless guns and good gunsmiths 'back in the day' doing repairs and refinishing, there's no way to tell which are original and which aren't.I bet I know that guy.
