I have been wanting one for a while and sealed the deal on a BSA 303 Brit transferable.

That's super cool, man.

How much does it cost to feed? 303 Brit doesn't sound cheap.

Yeah, it’s not cheap but then really nothing is anymore. Lucky for me I don’t shoot as much as I used to

A guy used to come to our shoots that let me shoot his Lewis and RPD every year.

What a hoot.

Congrats! That's awesome.

CONGRATULATIONS!

That is one of the very few MGs on my WANT! list.  I’ve got a Vickers, so know that the .303 struggle is real.

@prebans

Thanks, really looking forward to it.

Two of the guys I shoot with have Vickers, one has a conversion kit to 7.62x54R so makes it a little cheaper to shoot.

Very nice.  I worked in a gunshop in the 80s that had a few demilled and thought they were cool.

Storm Trooper's squad MG too

I had two Lewis guns at one time.  One was a BSA 303 ground gun and the other was a Jap 303 aircraft gun.

It took quite a bit of work to get them both running.  I think I still have some Lewis parts knocking around the shop somewhere.

Yeah, I fully expect a 100+ year old gun to have some functioning issues but luckily I have access to the guys from US Armament to help me out if need be.

It won’t be a high volume shooter but will be a shooter none the less.

Part of wanting a 303 gun is parts seem much more available at least
