I like it,can I have one??? A useful mid sized tank with a potent,accurate main gun.Being made in Switzerland,it is bound to be well engineered. Where can I find a MG 51 deact machine gun,I would like one for the Berna!

I believe Jeremy Walker / Walker Machinery has one of these.

Probably hard to find parts, being they were only made for Switzerland.
