Mongo, is that a FN model D on a second pic?

Nope, its a Kg m/37 which is the Swedish BAR. It uses the same receiver as a 1918 but the Swedes retrofitted to have a quick change barrel. The gun is in 6.5X55 and shoots very smooth. My gun was made in 1927 which means it started life as a Kg m/21 and was changed to the m/37 model at some time in its life. The gun has not been refinish and the bluing is original and all the serial numbers match (and the Swedes serial number ever part). I own all the accessories for it except the clip on night sights. I have several guys in Sweden looking for them for me. The amount of support equipment is extensive for the gun and has been fun tracking it down and collecting it.

I just need Stickman to come down to Texas to take pictures of my guns that do them justice. How about it Stickman, you would even get to shoot them.

Thanks for the info! BTW, I checked out the vid on your LMG. Very nice!

Here is some info to give you an idea on how the trigger group works on the open bolt LMG set up in the M16.

As you can see in the diagram, there is no typical sear surface on the hammer like you would see on a M16/AR15. The hammer becomes the sear for the bolt carrier, hence it holds the bolt carrier in the rear position until the trigger is pulled. The hammer is then held back until the bolt carrier completely closes and is tripped by the bolt carrier. The open bolt carrier has a sear notch on the bottom of it. Putting a standard carrier in a gun with open bolt trigger group will yield a run away gun. Also using the open bolt carrier in a gun with standard M16 trigger group will lock the gun up solid and you will have to remove the take down pins and wiggle it apart (seen one guy do this). There is no forward assist on the LMG since when the bolt closes the gun fires and it would be really dangerous to be push the carrier home with the forward assist when the gun fired and cycled.

what kind of receiver is that, carlos?

I'm not Carlos, but that appears to be a Colt SP-1 AR-15 receiver that was converted and registered.

Nice weapons, thanks for sharing. Is the paperwork approval process more difficult with a MG than an SBR?

Hey, Mongo. Thanks for the pics, links and review. I've never even heard of this gun before today. That thing is totally awesome. Wish we could own MG's here in People's Republic of Illinois. Your collection is just unbelievable. My respect to you.
