Well, I got bit by the belt fed bug earlier this year when I got a Polish RPD and since have successfully built three Browning 1919A4's. I swear building Kalashnikov's is like a gateway drug. Before you know it, you start thinking of other things to build... one thing leads to another and before you know it, BAM, you've got three 1919's sitting in your safe.
Now I can't help myself. I just dropped some coin on what is sure to be my biggest challenge yet. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you Mr. Goryunov SG43!
These things are
cool. I got the carriage mount and even a mounted night vision scope for the SG43.
Now, I just have to turn these chunks of scrap into a working semi-auto receiver:
Plus, with 7.62x54R at about .16 cents a round, you can't beat it for cheap fun!
