Someone tell them the US made Lee-Enfields during the war - maybe they'll fall for it...

Actually they did, the No.4 Mk I* was made at Savage-Stevens Firearms in the US and at the Long Branch Arsenal in Canada.

Viva made the MG34, no idea where they were sold though - here's ten of 'em anyway!

2 went to an airsoft shop in Ireland. 1 was kept for display and the other sold. production may not have been an issue, supply certainly was.

Very strange. If Viva had produced them in sufficient numbers, with sensible pricing and good marketing, they'd have sold thousands.

Mind you, if their Sten was anything to go by, they were probably crapping themselves at the prospect of spending a lot of money on R&D and tooling, only for AGM to rip off the design and sell it for half the price.



When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!

true, apparently they didn't work so well. They had similar issues to the VFC BAR, heh like that ever stopped us. I spent ages trying to find out how to buy one and failed miserably. So I'm not so hopeful about this, grant you I am frequently wrong.

I know. That's why I said it. They seem to want to make US weapons more than Brit, so as long as they don't know the yanks didn't use them...

Though in the grand scheme of things, the Browning-type MGs are the simplest externally, so make easier home-build projects. Easier as in easier to get it to look right.

For your drooling pleasure... :wink:

Heya Charlie November! :P

Yeah, likely none of us mere mortals will never see one of these in captivity, however it should hopefully spur any remaining clone factories to gear up for mass production i.e. AGM Sten, the new unknown-maker M1918 BAR in the works, AGM MP40, MP44 and so on....so this is a good thing mates!

I know the 0.303 Browning was used by Britain in some of the early war aircraft, but was it used in a ground role by any british/commonwealth forces? I am thinking about whether I have any excuse to buy one of these, despite only having a brit impression so far.

Looking again they have a few things missing and wrong. :wink:
Like the wrong number of rivets or screws in this case holding the trigger mech base plate on also the side bar for holding the cocking bolt back is missing.
