After seeing another thread on an AK build, it's really got me thinking of funding a rebuild of something you just don't see everyday. I've never done this before so it's breaking into new territory for me, but my must haves are:
1. Must be WW2
2. Must be obtainable even if I have to search for the parts I don't want something unobtainium
3. Can't be crazy expensive, if i'm going to drop 5 digits on anything then i'd be looking for FA otherwise 'why'.
4. Must be something I can actually find a top notch experienced builder to put together for me.
Some possible ideas (No particular order, but the below have my most interest at the moment)
1. MP40
2. MG42
3. Bren MK 1
4. Sten
5. DP-28
Any others? I do love the 8mm, x54r and .303 rounds so anything in those areas are likely to lean favorable to me. And something belt fed even peaks more interest.
If you've built one, share pics and your experience with us! Or if you have other candidates post em!
