David Sams David Sams at Sams Custom Gunworks in Cartersville, VA does excellent refinishing work.

There are several suppliers around that have newly made replacement parts for the 76. They are a fairly simple design and were designed to be used under less than stellar conditions. The literature for them, for example, says they may be cleaned with any liquid. They are also just great fun!

Money into Noise A 76 is just great fun, turns money into noise very efficiently. Mine eats most anything you feed it and is fairly accurate for what it is. Simple construction with readily available parts. The prices continue to climb, most selling now for over 10K. All of them are C&R eligible.

Virginia Concealed Handgun Law A new law just recently passed in Virginia and effective July 1 specifies that Virginia will recognize any state's carry permit.

SG Ammo has it for $26 for 50. I tried it in my Jet with good results.

I've had one for a few months and can confirm they are both reliable and an immense amount of fun to shoot. Very controllable in full auto. Mine will eat anything I feed it so far including the Wolf steel cased 9mm. The biggest problem is affording enough ammo to keep it going. New parts are...

They do not look like the mags from my 76. The mag walls for that are straight in this area and the shape is triangular looking from the top. I can't tell from your pics how the mags are shaped.
