WTS: I have an MG42 display receiver that is excess to my needs (made by another Board member). It appears to me made up with a WWII German rear-section and a "Yugo" front section (just needs one of BRPs Front-AA-Sight-Mounts riveted on). It has a bolt-semi-only-blocking-stud already mounted, and tw...

Re: Blank-Adapting the MG34.

Correct.....when firing the shorter 7.62x51mm Blanks, they tend to raise up at the front when the bolt pushes them from the belt. To correct this, I designed a feed-tray-spacer to not only keep the blanks from raising up at the front, but to keep them in line during feeding. I gave Robb-Walters a co...

Re: Blank-Adapting the MG34.

If your MG34 2-pcs. Blank-Barrel-Assm. was made correctly........you will not need a Booster.......just the flash-hider. the way that we made these was so the front (longer-section) would be held in place by the flair at the rear of that front-section.......with the screwed-in restrictor (Allen-set-...

Re: Blank-Adapting the MG34.

Why don't you go in together and have a local machinist make two of these (?). Parts that you will need if you do this (to keep costs down in making one set) would be: 1: One shot-out or worn barrel to use for the front section .....and: 2: The Barrel-Extension so that when your machinist makes the ...

Re: Remove MG42 Barrel from Collar / Barrel Extension

There are several alternate methods to remove the barrel-extension from the barrel-stub......and you should have knowledge of different ways as the barrel-stubs may come a few inches sticking out.....to almost nothing to grab ahold of. In the past......I have used a Dremmel cut-off-wheel to cut slot...

Lots of good information.....and then some that is guessing based on hours vs. self-labor.
