I think combining does add value, so that we have a 'one stop shop' for the weapon systems. You are right of course people can start any thread they want but its good for study, easy to follow, having all MG08 and all MG08/15 in their own threads, if not too much work for Brian. I am not a web site expert but it should be easy to place together. By all means be the author/initiator if you wish.
Hope that helps and I standby for other comment and from the Moderator too of course!
ps nice MG you have.
