    VICKERS MMG Build

    I am new to Calguns but wanted to share my latest build with everyone. Using a Halo side plate and parts kit from IMA I will restore a Vickers MMG into a semi auto. I have pictures ready to go up just not sure how to post them. Any help with that would be greatly appreciated.

    Got the picture thing worked out. This is the parts kit I bought from IMA 3 years ago. Since then it has sat in a box waiting to be built. Then the halo plate joined it along with a tripod.

        First things first degrease all parts and clean off the old solder on the trunion.

          Next I clamp the left side plate and new Halo right side plate together on the trunion to start transfering hole locations to the new side plate.

            By assembling the box and clamping it up I get a much more accurate hole placement.

                            Great kit. Any year on it?

                            Look forward to watching the progress on this, including a video of the test fire

The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

                              With the top cover in place I start transfering rivet holes that hold the bottom plate and box to the runion.
