[chrisp929]

went to machine gun shoot in westfield mass .. my first .. my first time shooting full auto also .. shot the saw .. m60 .. mp5k .. krink .. tommy .. fal ... etc .. 10 in all .. loved em all ..
micro was fun .. not the funnest .. but fun .. i can now say i have shot an uzi full auto .. they didnt have a mini or carbine .. i was dissapointed in that but .. what ever .. im finally MG devirginized ! ..

PS .. my favorite .. mini mi .. or saw .. which ever it was ... Fin FAST !!! .. zips thru ammo FAST ..

SEE PICS OF MG SHOOT IN GENERAL FORUM ..

[M60joe]

What make M60. Did you like it? Did it run?

[RoverDave]

That's a pretty good lineup for your first time shooting full auto. You're probably still grinning ear to ear.

[chrisp929]

i sure am still smiling .. when i play the video back .. i end up laughing at myself every time .. it was a great line up ..

joe i dunno what kinda m60 it was .. but it ran 100 % ...
the mg42 jammed up alot thou ..
they had all the belt feds on bipods for shooting prone but .. i said look guys .. can i shoot this standing up ? ... ( cause i wanted to do it rambo style ) .. they were hesistant at first but saw my size ( im 6'6'' and 235+) and okd it .. they had one guy to me left and another to my right with his hand on my right shoulder as i shot, just to let me know he was there and to catch me if i lost balance .. but it was great .. i bought a 100 rd belt and it was gone in seconds ..
only thing i kinda wish was that the 60 ran a lil faster .. they had a mg42 on a tripod with that lever thing for a trigger, and THAT ran fast .. i would have LOVED to shoot that standing up ..

my favorite like i said was the SAW .. lemme just say .. those guys who deposited money for the shrike ? .. well .. i now know why .. but .. this just makes me want to get a 60 now .. but semis are 6000 .. to much for me .. ill have to get a RF 1919 and deal with it ..
if the skrike ever comes out.. i WILL be buying one ..
i also COMPLETELY forgot to buy a ticket for the BAR .. i dunno when the next time will come around when i can shoot a full auto BAR also .. pisses me off .. oh well ..
untill next shoot !
god bless belt feds ..

When you are going full auto its good to save money where ever you can. A free pass is a good place to start.

I went to the Pumpkin shoot in Litchfield N.H. on Saturday, worked Sunday.

Got to shoot my AC556 thats still in transfer to me (runs like a top) and also a STEN MKII that I'm buying in a couple of weeks. In shooting the STEN, I was able to test several of the hundreds of mags that I have for it. Ya I know its a lot of one kind of mag, but they work in many 9mm subguns that have conversions and they were cheap. All of them functioned fine and that gun didn't miss a beat. Stens are a nice smooth firing very controllable subgun and easy on the wallet(for now anyway).

Fired a drum through a virgin Uzi with no problems also. That gun will be my wifes shooter.

Also fired a Russian PKM in 7.62X54R, a Chinese RPD in 7.62X39, my Thompson, a 1919A4 in 8mm Mauser with a lightweight Israeli bolt....sounded like an MG42....fast as hell!!!!!!!!!
Along side it was an M2-50 Browning....man what a gun! That thing tilled the soil on the bank with ease.

Met Jimmy2times there, he fired a couple of mags from my Vector Uzi, one at cost( donation for the club) and one on me. He's psyched about getting his greencard and a Vector.

A good time was had by all, and it was a safe day of shooting.

danny i was wearing ear plugs .. blue jeans .. sketcher sneakers .. grey adidas sweatshirt with hood, and a black nautica duck down vest .. im 6;6'' .. so look for a really tall guy with a camera and a camcorder around his neck .. my buddy was the one in the lil' wheelchair thing in the yellow van .. he is disabled ..

[dannyk45]

his wheelcjair had flames or something right.......

[chrisp929]

thats him ...

[dannyk45]

I walked right by you guys. My mac is still on transfer pending form 4.........Hopefully by X-Mas:heavy :heavy :heavy

I was in Westfield, and brought my Group mini and a few other things. Lots of fun, well run.

As far as the MG42s not as reliable as the M60. I suspect that is either cause of poor Turkish ammo or maybe rewelded MG42s. But I will find out when my MG42s come.

You've got to like a guy that has MG42s coming.

I know a guy with an MG34 and his gun shoots like a charm with good ammo and is a real pain with the wrong ammo. That would be the first thing I'd suspect.

Lets hear more about this Group Mini of yours. Is it a Group receiver or a conversion they did?

[EasydoesIt]

It is an open bolt RR that I bought through Vector, but it is papered as a Group. It has a Hebrew lower on it which I requested from them. I recently bought 3 more of these from Midwest because they have a bunch of new ones left, and then I have 2 full size Vectors, and a Micro which is a conversion from an IMI pistol. And then I have a semi pistol, a semi mini, and 3 model-B semis.

I am not an expert, but I happen to think the Vectors are better than IMIs. Not just because they are not converted, but because they just seem to have a higher standard of finish and I hear they are hardened better.

A perfect conversion of an IMI would be nice, but only if it was really restored to factory full auto perfect and restamped correctly and I think most of them did not have that much labor put into them.

That's a lot of damn UZI's! I'm smiling just thinking about it.

I'm still unsure about your Mini. Was it originally an IMI receiver or a GI receiver? I didn't know GI made any mini receivers. If it's IMI, was it cut down or was it originally an IMI mini receiver?

[EasydoesIt]

It says GI on it. It has no mention of IMI anywhere. I can post some closeup photos of it tomorrow.

[RoverDave]

Okay, It's one of the GI receivers that Vector cut down. Same as mine. I was hoping it was something more unusual. It should say Group Industries under the rear sight and it should be stamped Vector on the left side of the receiver above the selector switch.

[davidl]

maybe i'm just a partial,biased zionest.i have owned 3 uzi's since 1984. i have seen a few vector's(semi)for sale at gun shows. honestly,i think they were crap. over priced,top covers,trigger housings, recievers,all mismatched,parked different colors.made in israel, only way to go. shalom. btw, edi, bill w?

[EasydoesIt]

Maybe the semis are more mismatched? I dunno. I wonder if I would agree with you if I saw the same ones.

Yeah, I would like a pre68 IMI original but they are $10,000 and up.
