hi, new posting here, tho i've been reading this forum and the fallschirmjager w.a. forum for a couple of years. i'm not a militaria collector- my hobby is 1/6 scale figures- but i have found the w.a. forums a great research and reference source, since i try to make my figs as accurate as possible. so thanx for being here and available to hobbyist such as myself.
right now i'm working on a normandy commando figure (4 cdo, i believe) armed with the bipod and pistol grip adapted vickers k, besed on a photo that i found in one of my reference books (not sure of the title, but i've seen the pic in a couple of books and on the internet). it has a good view of his equipment, including the round mag pouches, but the mg itself isnt very clear. i was wondering if anyone here has any good pictures of this model of vickers k, especially the 'lower rail (below the gas tube) which projects in front of the pistol grip and to which the bipod is attached. im working from a very nice white metal casting of the vickers k, and would like to be sure of the details before i start hacking it apart!
so, any help would be appreciated, any clear detailed pics, or even info on whether
the the "lower rail" is round, sqare or channel shaped in section.
thanx in advance,
rob
