Mr.Maim Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I am still looking for Vickers 8mm parts: feedblock, extractor or whole lock, barrel. Sarco has 8mm barrels, I am aware of them, thank you to those that have PM'd/DM'd me about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike todd Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 have you actually received ANY 8mm barrels from them? SARCO, as usual has had 8mm Vickers barrels in an add constantly for more than 8 years that I know of. every couple months , I sent MG-DAVE an email to see what they are and claims they are out of stock to check back. just for kicks, I placed a 70+ piece Vickers parts order . the most exotic part was an 8mm barrel ALL THE REST was common everyday parts. needless to say they claimed NOTHING was in stock. please check back . IN FACT the past 8 years they have zeroed EVERY SINGLE Vickers part I have ordered EXCEPT, TURKISH A/A extensions and the repo can holders so don't hold your breath. the parts you want are out there , folks are reluctant to let them go as they are not replaceable anymore, and its only going to get worse.

Mr.Maim Posted July 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 I have received an 8mm barrel from SARCO about two weeks ago. It is odd. It has no caliber markings and a very rough finish. The rifling is "okay" and I bought the $150 barrel. Believe me I'm not holding my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Maim Posted August 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Still looking for an 8mm Vickers kit or individual parts: feedblock, extractor or whole lock, barrel.

mike todd Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 MR MAIM, I am 72 yrs old, been in this stuff hard since I was 9 and did cash work for INTERARMS. I have always taken great pride in helping folks and not getting a "pawn broker " attitude when selling/sharing stuff , but frankly the lack of response to your post and how long you have been trying is starting to wear on me. please take a few moments and explain why you need a set. all the cheep ammo is gone so its danged hard to shoot unless you reload and after a point you just pick a caliber with the most reasonable componets. along with my "herd of VICKERS MG's I have lots of 8mm locks and feed blocks and have sold one set in 40 years to "help" a young man get a C+R Turkish gun back to original. I do have a couple locks made by FAB- NATIONAL for that contract with ZERO wear but they are pitted in spots from moisture under the cosmoline, if we can come to terms and that would work I could pair it with a MINT feed block and get you going. SO take some time and fill me in. CHEERS MIKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Maim Posted August 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Mike, thank you again for responding, you seem to be one of the few that regularly reaches out to those posting here with suggestions on where to find things they seek, thank you for that! Don't let this grind on you, I'm prepared for the long haul. Have you seen my WTB for the Browning 1917 topcover? LOL! <sigh...> I'm sure we can come to terms.

Mr.Maim Posted August 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) FOUND. Purchased one from someone on a different forum. For the record: I was sold a beautiful set: Feedblock, Complete Lock, and Barrel for $800 (not including shipping) Edited August 19, 2018 by Mr.Maim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
