As my first post for some time a quick note about me - I'm starting a WW1 replica, however space is a little limited so I'm starting with the small details (it also helps with motivation). I'm building a Sopwtih Tripe and would like to make up a replica Vickers MG. I have the original Tripe drawings and the excellent drawings from Replicraft. Specifically - does anyone have a drawing of the cooling jacket "flattened"? I can't seem to work out how many ridges there are and where the slots/vents are positioned.

As a matter of curiosity, why does the flash suppressor have a chain linking it to the cooling jacket?
