In any case, a fine addition to a very nice looking collection presentation! Diplomacy is the art of saying nice doggie until you can find a rock. Will Rogers

Here in the peoples republic of Illinois, we can't have the real deal. When Yugo 8mm was cheap, I laid in 10 cases. Now I regret getting it on strippers. The owners' manual warns against shooting Turk ammo.

Take the manuals advise and don't use Turk (even if temped to) it's way to HOT. One suggestion if you don't mind. Put that thing back to it's origional glory and strip the black paint off the buttstock and put it back to the natural wood color. Minwax 'Special Walnut #224' and several coats of Tung Oil Finish is just about right. It's Christmas in June..............Enjoy, Robert

It was built by Wise Lite arms for Century. I ordered it the day I got the flyer with its picture, almost 2 years ago. The MG 42 has always been a favorite of mine. WV, it came with a (well) used ammo can w/ a 50 round belt, and I picked up a couple of almost new cans with 100 round belts. That should be enough to rapidly deplete my ammo supply. If you have a line on a 8mm belt loader, I'm looking for one.

I haven't had the gumption to manually de-link the rounds yet. Congratulations on your belt fed!! That's something I would like to get hold of here one day, just to set up in the middle of the living room to admire it when SWMBO wasn't at home.

I have been trying to contain him a little with daily phone calls to no avail. I think he almost admitted he was getting lonely for the wife and kids last night? I hope they get home soon as he and others are trying to work him to death. He is project rich and with the humidity down where he lives I fear for his life. We might find a puddle of sweat some day where he once was! Whoa Chuck! Slow Down Buddy! Bill PS Nice New Toy there now if I owned it I would use it as a hat rack by the door when not shooting it in the drive to impress my neighbors!

The belts from Aim were in 8mm ammo cans, but don't feed well. They were one piece steel clipped together - I assume 308 belts. The belts that came with the gun were in a 308 can. I think it would be great to have a can of linked yugo 8mm, E-mail me & maybe we could work it out.

Of course our M-60's were well past retirement age, but it kept them shooting. After a day at the range qualifying, I would come off the line with my fatiques saturated with LSA. Curt

The instructions say it runs better 'wet' , but cautions against WD-40, which is flammable. I'll bet that's even more of an issue with the real deal.

As it gets hot it tends to gel up. A spray type of oil like 'Rem Oil' is best or just plain old 3 and 1 oil which is what I use. Best, Robert Last Edited By: DuWhat 06/26/09 11:20 AM. Edited 1 times.
