Hi Pat,
Tthanks for that. I was already aware of the Preiser weapons. As a matter of fact, I need 1/24 weapons to arm a set of 1/24 Preiser "Adam" academic figures, but want to stay away from WWII germans. There are so many of them out there! The M16 is for a SBS marine in the Falklands. If I cannot get one, I'll try to sculpt a silenced Sterling SMG, being little more than a tube, it should not be very difficult.
That will do for one of the figures, but the Preiser set includes parts for many more, so MRoberts weapons will be very handy.
