MG1918 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 More to follow. Did the moderators decide on whether 'all aspects German 1WK MG' should all be captured in this one thread? I know I have started individual threads on MG but I am happy if you are. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi, the problem when I merge threads is all posts get added chronologically.... and mixed up into a "greater thread"... but you cannot see which comment belonged to which item etc. etc. etc... I have merged what is possible some time ago, but anything else will split the posts and comments ... Feel free to add to the big thread, or start a new thread even, best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG1918 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Thanks Chris....I think I understand! With an MG08 thread and an MG08/15 thread in the Firearms and Ordnance section is there any benefit in bringing just the MG08 element into the excellent grips of death? I assume no one will start a 'butt stock of death' here so the MG08/15 element is safe. I am not a moderator nor a web expert but would be keen on having one subject in one place. Hope that makes sense and is no reflection on all efforts so far? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
