Re: 8mm Kurtz headspace gauges

JBAUM/DA

I orders a set from Pacific Tool and Gauge, still waiting on delivery (they quoted 3-4 weeks). They don't list them on their website, you have to contact them.

I will let you know what happens!

8mm Kurtz headspace gauges

Hello All

I have finally gotten around to my semi MP44 project. I need a set of headspace gauges, and Clymer told me they are too busy to quote me a price on a set at this time.

Anyone got set they are done with, and want to sell?

Thanks!

Re: Finding Mg08 blank sideplates (for a semi)

www.Prussia.us Dennis' (MIDWEST METAL) design uses a sideplate that is thicker, rather than denial islands. You have to open up the slots for the feedblock, and machine down the lock and action arms on the right side to get them to fit. I too didn't like the idea of the small box sticking out of the...

WTB Type 14 Nambu grips

Hi All! I have a shooter grade 4.9 dated Nambu I need a set of grips for. I bought the gun for a shooter, so collector grade grips not required. Repros are fine. I know about the grips on Gunbroker, Vintage Grips, and Gungrip.com. I also need a firing pin and guide, and magazine. Any leads? Thanks! ...

Re: Can someone do something for me?

m1-dan Man, the CTSP are sure scarey! Not only does the information they gave you directly say the opposite of what they told me, it makes little sense by itself! First off, "he said that they do have the characteristics of a Assualt weapon ". Cut and dried, it is an Assault Weapon under the CT AWB....

Re: Can someone do something for me?

I forgot to mention. The most ironic part is, a FA MG42 is perfectly legal here in the original configuration! Too bad I don't have $30-$40K for one!

Re: Can someone do something for me?

I totally agree about CT sucking. I did what you did. I purchased all the stuff to make a semi MG42, and then found out the AWB would prevent it! I still plan on building a semi, just with the above mentioned spade grip modification. The good news is, if I ever get out of this damned liberal state, ...

Re: Can someone do something for me?

m1-dan OK, you have gotten a couple of things crossed here. The CT AWB bans firearms by two categories. First is by name/model, second is by the list of features (a pistol grip that extends below the receiver and one of the following: barrel threaded for flash hider, bayonet lug, night sights, etc)....

Re: Can someone do something for me?

m1-dan I too am an inmate of the Democratic People's Republik of CT. If you are planning to build an MG42, and do live in CT, be aware you can't build it in the conventional configuration. I have been in contact with the CT State Police Weapons Unit, and they say it is illegal under the CT AWB. It i...

No problem, glad it worked out! RTG used to have springs, but when I checked his website prior to posting my reply to you, they were not listed. You may want to try contacting him just in case.
