    Howdy guys

    This is my second post and I'm from Switzerland for those who don't know already. Here in Switzerland, Suppressors, Lasers as well as select fire firearms are forbidden. But if you are a official firearms collector like me, you "can" get special authorization permits for buying the good (forbidden) stuff.

    In this post I wanna talk about my Zastava MG53 in the caliber 8x57. Zastava Oružje AD was founded in 1853. The arms company based in Kragujevac, about 140 kilometers southeast of Belgrade, is the most important handgun supplier of the Serbian armed forces, the police and the leading firearms manufacturer in Serbia.

    The Zastava M53 is a replica of the German MG42 developed by Werner Gruner, a 7.92 × 57 mm caliber machine gun (also known as 8 × 57 IS), which was used by the German Wehrmacht in the Second World War.
    Like the MG42, the M53 is also essentially made of punched and formed parts. Only the most important parts are milled from solid steel. Equipped with a roll closure, the MG 42 was the first firearm to be produced in sheet metal embossing technology, a milestone in weapon production.

    The belts, beltloader, the original bipod etc. are incoming for completing this beauty for my collection and I will update my review with more and better pictures as soon as my stuff arrives. I hope you enjoy my content!

    Best regards from Switzerland to Texas!

    I'd love to but because I'm from Switzerland it is impossible
    I know. We tend to not approve signups from outside the U.S. so I remember yours. Thus the emoji I used, to indicate that I was joking.

    On a serious note, though, if you ever find yourself in Texas, there are folks on the forum who will make you feel welcome. Just let us know a bit in advance.

    I hear they have this new thing called an airplane. I think they even have a place in Switzerland they can land and take off from. May be just reasonably close to you anyway. They can even fly over water.

    Just kidding. Nice gun too by the way.
