Title: 12.7mm DshKM
Post by: Jose Mendes on 14 March 2012, 12:12:46 PM
Can anyone post some pictures, of the 12.7mm DshKM piece in the Vietnam NVA/VC, Post War period.

I would like to know if with some modifications I could use it as an ww2 Soviet heavy machine gun for AA purposes.

Thanks in advance

Regards

I may have some pics at home, but the simple answer is yes with a head swap, which is not that hard.

I'm pretty sure my Antipodean compadre Kiwidave has done just this...I'm sure he'll be along in a minute with some pics  8)
