Hey archy, just for giggles do you have a picture of the 7.92Kurz of the Mp44 in the same scale as 6.8 SPC? Also, can you put one of the air force blue stocks with the chromed metal on lawaway for me? I would be just the thing to shoot at the Wilson match in 2010. LOL!

I'll work on that. I've got some fired 6,8 brass now, so I'll make up a dummy round or two. I've not yet seen a pic of the 5,8 round with a 7,92x33 kurz round, and I think I'll add one of the 1950s 7x43mm *.280 calibre* EM-2 rifle rounds to the oic for comparison's sake. They're actually a .276, so are closer in size and performance to the new cartridge than it might seem.
