well in the bren configuration its a little over 8.5 kilo's ,now the vz barrel is heavier but not mutch.the thing is its a beast to carry all day by yourself but splitting the carrying and fireing equally its not so bad and being a support gunner has its perks :D as im sure anybody who's been looking down its barrel will confirm :giggle: .then theres spare batteries, ammo ,magazines and ive got a spare gearbox whitch can be fitted in the field in 5 mins thats worth haveing so even when not lugging the gun the team mate has a little extra to carry unless boshman is bringing his lovely bike as a mobile re-supply depo.

Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well

made the sight today and drilled the holes in the booster cone,the sight is a fair bit bigger than the one on the bren whitch was allways to small and on that endless "to do" list,i was originally planning on useing the new sight on doth barrels but because its radiused where it fits on the barrel and the vz barrel is larger dieameter at that point i cant as it would wobble on the bren barrell :cry: so i still have to make it again,
the barrel is in paint at the moment but as soon as it dryes i'll pop up some pic's.
after that its just the rear sight and stock.

Your skills are endless. Can you make us a half track. Now that would be impressive
