I think he will have managed that. After all the padlock on the jerry can holder locks and unlocks so a working MG is a walk in the parkWill it actually fire when you’re done? I’m betting it will …

No the wife said it will make to much noiseWell done on the MG Mr. Scottie......have you test fired it yet?
I thought you'd have made a silencer by the morningThe mg looks superb Paul, test firing it may annoy the neighbours a bit.....
cheers mate, I will leave it till the morning
Pete, now there's an idea.I thought you'd have made a silencer by the morning

Sorry Paul its hard to say anything when you've been left speechless. DaveThe MG is finished lots of the kit parts have been modified or replaced and I had a lot of fun doing it. Just to give you an idea of the tweaks: various rivets and screws were added. The feed tray was detailed with pewter. The sling hook was added to the pistol grip. the bipod legs were hollowed out as the were pressed steel and not solid as shown in the kit. the stops were added to the legs. The bipod swivel was completely rebuild from ally rod and tube, punched details and wire. Looking at the reference pictures the swivel must have been a good design as the exact same thing was used on the Later GPMG used by various armies. The ammo drum was also detailed with handles, hinges and catches. The ammunition belt also had the strap added to allow the belt to be pulled through.
Sorry the above was a bit boring so hopefully the pictures will show it better.
