Mike,
GREAT to hear from you! Here's wishing 2011 is a MUCH better year for you, Yvonne, and your family.
Can't wait to read about your StG.44, and see if your experiences/opinions match my impressions of it.
That Lewis Gun is the one MG that has eluded me. I've never had the opportunity to shoot one, let alone load for, work on, and generally evaluate. Your's sounds very interesting. Is it in 7.7 Jap, 6.5 Arisaka, or ???
