Favorite MG?

[SabreFirearms]

For those big $$$ Collectors, of fellow 07/02's whats your favorite?

By far this CMMG Colt Mag 9mm Banshee is the most fun. Pretty dang quiet with the can runs about 500rpm

I had the crowd pleaser out at Axxes recent shoot. Here's a pretty lady with a happiness is a warm machine gun look about her.

Mine is the MG TD. Cute roadster from the 50s with suicide doors that had to be tied to each other so they wouldn't pop open in the corners while racing.

Either that or an M2.

Man i tried to run a MP5K with a sear pack, ran like dog shit, made me dislike the platform immensely. never again. Was also a PTR so there is that. Put the semi pack back in and sold it.

Piecing together a Browning 1919a4 with Spade Grips and will use the Israeli kit to swap it to 308. Eventually anyways.

Mines started life as a German SP89. It like to be well lubed. I just replaced the extract & spring, and mine prefers heavier ammo. I was burning current Lake City ball with is really to light.

Don't get me wrong I like the G3K & M16, but I'm more selective where I shoot it.

I couldn't afford the feed chute for it.

MG's are more fun if someone else is supplying the ammo!

I use to go to an exclusive shoot by invite only. I know for a fact I was the poorest amongst the millionaires & billionaires. I was given offers to shoot so much & generally turned them down. As I told them I don't get to shoot my own as much as I would like.

Hard to believe that I turned down a 150 rounds through a min gun. I figured it would be over way to fast. Several versions of Ma Duce, for my aching back problems. My very first time there I shared a room with a stranger. His friend came up just to shoot & had the nicest Thompson 21/28 navy over stamped I ever seen. He was an author of a couple of books on Thompson's. He offered it to shoot & told him I was content seeing my face in the finish of the blueing.

I've been in that situation many times and always found it quite unsettling. On movie sets, hanging out with rock stars, etc., the "imposter syndrome" is often almost strong enough to bring on a panic attack.

Initially felt that way when I started doing POTUS support to USSS. Talking about how to get comfortable in that arena with an agent, he put it real succinct. POTUS puts pants the same way we do; he’s just another dude but given a different level of responsibility and authority.

Ben I never felt that at these machine gun shoots. I had a billionaires wife clearing my dirty dishes away asking if I care for more wine. She offered me the bottle seeing as so few were drinking what she opened. I had lunch with a guy who owns 3 car dealers ships talking about Electric Vehicle not as here's my card, rather what a big money scam for the dealers.

I remember another stupidly crazy rich guy who stuck fired 7.62 brass in his ears & refuse disposable ear plugs. In the evening after dinner the bar was open & sitting around with guys who actually like hearing my stories about my crappy retail meat cutters job, And asking advice about processing game.

Being invited into someones home for cocktails & an open house which trophy room was bigger the my lot in Houston. And talking about my experiences hunting in Africa, to a guy who sold his company to his employees who jokingly said that they sold a year later for a billion more. He basically said he was screwed out of a billion dollars.

I'll stick with my Stoner 63a or my Swedish BAR

I bet I know that guy.
My favorite "collector" Mg was a MINT Colt Thompson 1921AC which I regrettably sold when the new administration was coming in. Couldnt trust what he was going to do. Lots of crazy promises. I firmly believe it was the nicest Colt Thompson on the planet. The one gun I TRULY regret selling.

Lot Detail - (N) SPECTACULAR HIGH ORIGINAL CONDITION COLT 1921A THOMPSON 1921 MACHINE GUN (CURIO AND RELIC).

As far as shooters it's hard to beat an M16. So versatile. Have set ups in 5.56, .22LR and 5.45x39 back when it was cheap.
The transferable I wish I had would be an M16 drop in auto sear. My M16s are almost too nice to shoot. Almost

This was long ago & actually my very first time at this shoot. It Tok me years to figure out a way in. I guess because it was by invite they all figured I was OK.

I love to coax you out to shoot some time. I know your torn up & life is hard. you should tell your Nurse handy story in the mancave

That Thompson is SWEET! But, between J. Curtis Earl 'upgrading' countless guns and good gunsmiths 'back in the day' doing repairs and refinishing, there's no way to tell which are original and which aren't.
RDIAS is definitely the way to go for an M16.

My full size MP5 gets to go outside and play most often now. Much easier to find a range that allows subguns than assault rifles or belt feds.
