* * * * * U P D A T E * * * * * Saturday took the newly repaired M53 to Gunsmoke shooting range outside of College Station, TX. I successfully fired four full belts plus a partial. A full belt and the partial were from rounds that didn't fire the last time at the range. "Vera" fired everything just ...

***** U P D A T E ***** WLA called yesterday with the tracking number for my M53. Took a 1/2 day of vacation this morning to be here when FedEx arrived. The M53 was delivered a few minutes ago (long enough to unpackage and inspect). For starters the action is soooo much crisper and cleaner than it w...

The German MG3 tripod can be obtained thru several importers/retailers, as well as the twin MG3 AA mounts. Sometimes they need a bit of fitting, but generally work well with the Yugo M53. You may want to obtain some actual 8MM belts. The ones at RTG are 7.62X51 belts. We test fire one belt of 50 ro...

WLA is giving the m-53 a bad name. Doesn't matter how nice they are. If they are not fixing the problem they are just blowing smoke up your *** How can they return it to you after they fix it and it still does not work correctly. Quality control must be slipping allot!!!When you are sick and tied m...

Just a couple of quick observations and questions: 1: Is there the posibility that you "system" is only allowing "boarderline" reward travel of the bolt to a point where it "sometimes" catches the next case-base and sometimes the side of the case (?)......look around the buffer to rear-of-bolt cont...

I took the 'new' gun to the range and fired it a few times. Had similar problems on the 20 or so rounds I fired before the bolt head "bushing backed out and would not allow cam rollers to fully retract". The bolt head stopped about an inch from where it should stop. Sent it to WLA, they replaced the...

Thanks for the replies. Wanted to make sure it wasn't user error. Sending it back to WLA (again) for repairs today... So far WLA has been very helpful. Hopefully it will work flawlessly when they are finished.

Hello, I purchased a M53 and out of the box it had to be sent back to WLA (they replaced the bolt head). Got it back last week and took it out shooting this weekend and had several issues. It took over two hours to fire 120 rounds. I oiled the belts after they were loaded and right before firing. Th...

Thought it would be nice to have a few 30 cal ammo cans filled with belt. That way, you know, when the zombies come, it would be quick to change out and more importantly keep the ammo clean. On the 50 round drum - I read somewhere there are problems with using them in the semi-auto M53's. Is this tr...

Hello All! I'm new to MG42.us so please be gentle. I have a newly aquired Yugo M53 and want to know if anyone has 'attached' a 30 cal ammo can on the side to store the belt? I will be firing 'out in the country' (Wrightsboro, TX) and want to keep the belt and ammo clean. Any suggestions will be welc...
