    You could heat cure the paint by running a few rounds through that beautiful piece of art work!

    Nice, hope it shoots as nicely as it looks.

    Altogether...
    We horse-traded for it as it was almost finished by the prior owner and he had something like 60 hours into it and it took me over 30 to finish it and he had much lighter fish to fry.



    I got it right after christmas cause the 4 hour round trip was about 50 times cheaper on gas than shipping as it has a giant transport chest and other assorted bullshit . Been working/tweaking it since then.
    Parts kits for these were $500 before IMA lost their minds once a semi design was approved and jacked them up to almost $1k



    Keep in mind , for the period any machine gun that could keep up good sustained fire was invaluable . A good crew could go constant until the barrel needed changed which is a manhandling experience in itself.

    and while in 8mm to help logistically for the Germans and other folk the original Chambering in '8x59 rebated' was the equivalent of having a 300 Win Mag machine gun ,which is why the sights go up to 3000M



    once i get the final bugs worked out I'll see if a 30-06 adaption is possible .
