Place two blanks on feed tray & close lid; Charge & fire; First rd. fires then cycles onto the second rd;..If that works, you can eliminate belts as problem. (but still spread the ones with a death grip) ...........Get another recoil spring, & experiment with it.........(don't use the one that is fo...

I would ask, if it will feed & cycle/fire with just two blanks lying in the fed tray, not linked???......What do the blanks look like then?....If intact, then tight links may contribute to rough feeding. ......Yes, when you find some links that are extremely tight, widen them, I use a snap-ring plie...

I may have missed it, but shortening the recoil spring may be the answer;>> It will allow the bolt to go to the rear well enough, so it will hit the buffer hard enough to eject the empty case, and will return foward with enough force to go into battery, etc...... .......In Folke's book, he recounts ...

Let it go;..> Mine broke away years ago, and it has'nt affected anything;..> The pressure of the recoil spring will keep it up against the bolt. This 'tunnel' extension should not go anywhere but up against the bolt rear. ......My gun is a Gordie K creation reweld sa. He was the grandfather of Wisel...

Thank God for John Baum, and what he has done for all of us guys who are interested in German WWII weapons & equipment.....WTH would we do without all of his translated manuals!.... :cheer: .....He is a first class gentleman when you spend a few minutes talking with him face to face! (on the phone t...

There were two "Standard- Modell" s with the 'Mauser Banner....These came out in limited numbers during 32-33 while the Army was deciding what rifle they would adopt. (there were Mauser banner rifles made for export in the early 30s with a multitude of features other than the two 'Standarde Modell"s...

It's been awhile, Salt6.......> When will the MG-42 crew return above as the header???....It's just not quite the same without them.

The M-73 was designed by a lunatic, and could not have been influenced by either the MG-34 or 42. Totally different moving (when it wanted to) parts; maybe the barrel jacket got it's design idea from the MG-34, but that's it. ......In the 60's we had the M-73 on our M-60 tanks in 4th Arm/Div, and af...

Oh no, don't change the up-front format, Salt6..!!!!
Please bring back the MG-42 crew....!
....Crankie old man~

The couple thousand of Egyptian wood tip blanks that I have used, had too many primers that did not detonate, no matter how hard the primers were hit. That was my main problem with them.

Since this new 'panic' which started in mid-december, all ammo prices have shot-sky-high. The Romanian 8mm rose with it all, and was drying up before that. Here at KCR, the tins went from 100, to 156. to over $200. bucks, and is gone now. ..........If you have access to tons of Yugo 8mm, get it now,...

Brilliant ...!!!

Dan assisted so many of us in the early days of the 42 parts kits. (from way up in NY to out in freedom states to us) ....I would send him photos of the 42 kit in action in our Eastern Front battles in the WWII re-enactment world, he was thrilled. (he was a close friend of Gordie K, who is still hel...

Hold it, hold it!.....Keep up the good work, but on the other hand the Fenstein bitch list of what the F,,, she wants, is just that, a wish list! ....In 1994 she did the same damn thing and stacked all kinds of crap up on her side and tried to get it thru, one of which placing self-loading rifles on...

Embalmer's help, landed me a 42 optic, from way up there in Massachusettes!....but....I need a WWII carry container now.
.......If any of you guys might have an empty for sale, let me know;.either for the 34 or 42!.....thanks EB!

TY, Embalmer.

I want to buy the WWII MG-42 Optic assembly that mounts onto the WWII Lafette tripod, with the carry can...>> Or, if you spot the Optic assembly, I would appreciate anyone that might bird-dog one for me someplace else. ...>>This last MG Shoot at Knob Creek Rg, no one had one for sale, and I want one...

Try the Pakistani 308, it comes in a 250 rd can, and it is all belted in 5ea, MG3/42 belts, with one starter tab.
,,,,The primers are hard, and all the rounds do fire well.
....I think Cheaper han Dirt still has it, for $129. a can.

You're missing the most valuable typical parts, like the bolt, recoil spring, charging handle, the cut up receiver and fittings that go on the receiver.....What remains is far less valuable than $800. Did you already sell off the other parts?

Richard; .............Your two piece blank barrel (I have it set for 308) just never quits!!.......At times, I just have to get out of the way in tactical battles, and spray down your barrel because of over-heating.....It just keeps on running! ....and right now, I still am using the Austrian green ...
