I have had the privilege of burning several hundred rounds out of one of those machine guns. It was a real honor.

GTC BYOA is no problem......what is the recoil factor? I ask as my wife would absolutely love to shoot the same gun as the one that's on that Jeep. She's having her 2nd hand surgery on Dec. 6th but by Jan 19th she could probably handle it if it's not to excessive on the recoil.

Properly set up, on it's tripod, I don't think recoil will be much of a factor, if any.
Perhaps some more qualified than I care to comment,....
Not my gun, but belongs to a local miscreant / afficianado, so having it at the 3rd annual Porkeye may be do-able.
I can't afford to FEED that sorta' rig, myself.

GTC Thanks for the info. As 'ie 84' said it would be a real privledge/honor to burn some ammo thru one of those. A "once in a lifetime" experience that would be well worth the BYOA cost. I only wish my 93 year old Father-In-Law could make the trip and pull the trigger on that gun. I'm sure it would bring back clear as day 1944 memories of his WWII 'Battle Of The Bulge' service. I have had the privilege of burning several hundred rounds out of one of those machine guns. It was a real honor.
