Here's a pic of my madsen I had built a while back.

One thing I really like about it compared to most semi conversions is the reliability since it did not have to be converted to closed bolt from open bolt.

>>34285051
>owning multiple semi only machine guns

Lol what a fucking cuck

>>34285153
you don't own more than one ar?

>>34285166
All of my ARs are practical and have a useful application, the shit he has is just some neutered attempt at the real thing with no purpose.

Binary trigger Maxim gun WHEN

>>34285171
the majority of my antique guns have no real purpose, come to think of it my inert ordinance collection has no use whatsoever. at least his guns shoot.

Already have one.

>>34285207
I collect these guns because I think they are neat. Sure I can do a lot more "practical" stuff (even then it's still no more than shooting targets) with my ARs, but the history behind these guns is something you can't get with a commercially produced AR.

>>34285220
then i'd be looking at an MG34 next, you wouldn't happen to have tripped as partskit would you?

Having just looked all of these up I'd say do the SG43. It looks neat with the carriage and I'm sure a resourceful fellow like you could rig up some sort of gatling trigger for it like pic related.

>>34285281
well then good to see you again and i'll change my vote to ZB-26 since i hustled up a kit for it in that other thread

>>34285329
Hey thanks for that I had seriously looked for about a week constantly trying to find a kit and I could not find shit. Hopefully those guys come through on that.

I really like the idea of a MG34, however they seem to be SO UNRELIABLE. I mean a rarely ever shoot these guns, but when I do I would like to be able to shoot them without troubleshooting them the whole time. I may buy the MG34 though just because TNW is saying this is their last year making them, and I do not know any other builders making them.

>>34285325
Pretty sure that the guy who has the ATF approved design on the Semi SG43 ships them standard with the crank fire, or it may cost a few hundred more. Not a huge difference in price. The one thing I do like about the SG43 is that it is also soviet which goes along nicely with most of my collection.

The PKM would be my top choice but it is about double or triple the price of any of the others to the point it is the same price as a FA MG08/15. Not sure I can justify that.

>>34285220
Do you live in a state where you can actually get real Class III weapons? If so, I'd just save the money for the real thing rather than a neutered clone.

I'd say that rifles like the AK and the AR retain 90% of their use and fun when in semi-auto only. Machine guns lose 90% of their use and fun, on the other hand. They're heavy, expensive (seriously, even an RPD semi-auto costs near $3000), and use nig-rigged parts to convert what should have been an open-bolt design into a closed-bolt abortion.

If you want something that looks cool, is expensive, and has good resale value to boot, try getting a Norinco NDM-86.

>>34285401
I don't really care about the resale value. I buy the guns I buy because I find them interesting and neat, I do not ever foresee me ever selling any of them so resale is kind of a mute point. That being the case I also do not care much about the actual practical use since I buy them from a collectors standpoint. If I am going out to the range with some friends I will grab my MR762 or AK74, not the Madsen or DsHK.

Transferable machine guns cost thousands more though.

Just to let you know those guys came through, kit looks to be buildable and the cost is $2k

>thanks again anon.

>>34287055
sweet, do they cut post mays? or do they have access to kits as well as built guns?

>>34287202
Not sure, he just told me he had some kits. I wish I could get an idea for the going price on these kits I am not sure if $2000 is me getting fucked or a decent deal.

>>34287285
not enough around to get a good idea of the going rate, it doesn't seem out of line for an lmg kit these days.

Ew

>>34289036
It's semi. There is only a very small (I think 3) of transferable dshk, and even then those are the 1938 versions.

>>34285281

How do you feel about the rpd? I was going to buy one but was really disappointed with the sights. The rear sight was very small and hazy

>>34286862
>I DD a 1991 Toyota pickup
nigga tell me I am not reading this correctly
You registered your pickup as a DD ??

>>34290778
The best, in terms of reliability, belt fed semi on the market. Absolute blast to shoot and I never have to work on it to get it running properly.

>>34285051
What the fuck is a zb26

>>34285220
how much did the rpd cost?

>>34292010
$1700. Although that was back when original barrel kits were 500 and the build service was $1200.

>>34291992
The gun the Bren should have been

>>34285051
How much does an MG34 or 42 cost? I saw someone selling one at an auction for $6000, it had all the accessories included.

>>34292782
4700 for a new mg34

>>34285220

consider suicide.

>>34293699

kys nigger you sound mad hes richer than you and can do cool stuff with his money. this isnt even close to ruining 'priceless' relics.

>>34293699
>being this assblasted

You're just mad he has more money than you. I'm sure he would rather buy intact guns.

>>34293236
Looks like a yugo rpk

>>34293721
>>34293747
(you)

>>34293721
why don't you look up the price of an intact mg42 and the number of how many are registered in the US, then get back to me.

>>34294606
>mg42
doesn't the tripod with the recoil spring in it basically auto-bumpfire it?

>>34294905
Pretty much any semi mg42 is a headache

How is PKM historic?

Get an RPD

>>34294976
>not reading the thread

He already has a rpd

>>34294606
no one but soccer moms cut up registered machine guns.

>>34285051
Who do you use as a builder? I've realized that I need something new in my life, but my welding skills are mediocre at best. Thinking about a dp-28 for that sweet dinner plate magazine.

>belt-fed
>semi-auto
pick one and only one, there is literally no point in having something belt-fed if it isn't automatic

>>34295139
No point in just having fun or owning something you like. Everything should be totally utilitarian.

Piss off Rainey McDickhole.

>>34285051
My vote goes to the PKM, mostly because I think it'd be cool having something that's still in front-line use by the Russians and because it uses easily available ammo.

>>34295191
Get an actual belt-fed machine gun you faggot.

>>34285051
Mix maxim and mg42.

>>34295139
>there is literally no point
bypassing California magazine restrictions?

>>34295088
They aren't registered dumbass. It's cut receivers that are shipped in scrap parts.

>>34295393
>bypassing California magazine restrictions?
not living in california?

And here I thought having my semi-auto AKM was ridiculous. This is just terrible.

>>34285051
>historical

If it wasnt for that I would recommend a semi auto m249 and rig a slidefire stock to it.

Legal easy full retard gun. Guaranteed to turn heads and drop jaws at whatever range you decide to shoot at.

>some people like to shoot guns for fun and not "run" them tactically tacticool all the time!!!
