Mongo, donyou know how many are in the registry?

Wow, tough question.

Of the transferables I could actually one day buy, I want:
- M60E6
- all German HK E beltfed with 23E and 21E kits (semiauto sear host)
- AUG sear gun
- Swedish K
- Savage or Bridgeport 28a1
- m/37 like mongo's

Out of reach presently, but maybe in the future:
- m240
- Minigun
- Stoner 63a

There are several kg m/21 guns but I have only found one other kg m/37 so far. Unfortunately many of the guns have been converted to 30.06 with US parts thus losing all their charm.

Yeah, I was there when the FMF transitioned from the M-60D to the E3. A little lighter, a little better, but still the ugly girl at the dance.

I have never had a chance to shoot a 240, I hear they are nice. My nephew the Army Captain loves them.

I'm not surprised - I wouldn't want to lug one around (I'm a little fellow) but I'd sure be glad to have one in time of need. I got to shoot the M240B and D models about 10 years ago. Back when Eric Kincel was working for Vltor/Abrams Airborne, he'd always extended an open invitation to me to go out and visit, tour the factory, and organize a range day with their extensive weapons library, and maybe write an article on my site. I finally made the trip out and got to shoot a variety of select fire/auto weapons that included:

FN F2000
FN P90
M4 with M203
PKM
M249 SAW
M240B
M240D
Mk46 Mod 0
Mk48 Mod 0
Milkor M32 MGL grenade launcher
M-135G Minigun

I got to shoot all of them as much as wanted (as long as there was ammo available for them; and they brought out a shit ton of ammo), so it was a very good chance for me to learn a bit about each one. That's where I fell in love with the Mk46 Mod 0 (which I listed in this thread as one of my dream guns to own). I really wanted to take that thing home with me. That was by far my BEST RANGE DAY EVER.

If anyone's interested, here's a link to the article I wrote with pics and some grainy video clips:

For me a hk sear and a good 10mm mp5 clone(dt or tpms I guess). I already have my m10 with lage upper and my colt m16a2 is waiting on the form 4 to clear. I don't know if I'd buy a hk sear or two other machineguns instead if it came to it though. I could be a registered receiver uzi and like a 1919 belt fed for the same price. I'd love the hk sear but two fun machineguns vs one?

At some point I could see myself getting a FFL and SOT if I moved more into the sticks. Do a few gun shows and side transfers. With that I'd love a post sample p90 and maybe a kriss vector. The p90 is still my favorite machinegun. Just love how they shoot.
