I have an MG-34 on an AA tripod that, now that I think of it, would make a great reading lamp. It already swivels.

Johnny, you crack me up. But I would agree, it would make one heck of a reading lamp!Like Michael, I too am not in favor of drilling holes in a perfectly good rifle. But fortunately, I started with...
