THANKS !!

I'll give them a call.

I just hope the $16,600.00 isn't for a replica.

I'm think'n that one's the real deal.

I did come across a place up in PA called Repligun.
They say they have one, but I'll have to track down a phone # and call.

The Aerodrome is near my house in New Paltz. I love it there! I contacted them already, but they have not gotten back to me yet. You can try calling them but they might not answer during the winter

Found another one for $1800

"I've got an original 11mm Aircooled Colt manufactured Vickers parts kit that I beleive would be corect for your friend's Sopwith project.

I'd be asking $1,800 plus actual insured tracked shipping.

Let me know if your interested and if so, I'll see about getting some pictures for you.

Regards,

Rob"

WOO HOO!

I’m having trouble finding one in the US.

I figure there are enough gun buffs here to ask. Maybe someone can provide a lead.

The one I’m after is the one here in the picture. Air cooled. No water jacket. I’ve found one in New Zealand at The Vintage Aviator, but am wondering if anyone here may know of a more “local” provider.

Thanks -

I talked to a guy who has several MGs including a heavy MG42 that works. His advice: Google International Military Antiques, aka www.ima-usa.com (not sure of URL.

They should have one or be able to provide advice

the question that has not been asked do you want the timing mechanism for it hahahahahahahah - jz
