Welcome

Read, read, read, study and ask questions before you build. I am on my second build now, the first (M53 SA) turned out Ok, thanks to "Mech Warrior" and Brian at BRP, learned a lot.

The second MG42 SA is coming along better.

I have both German and Yugo, Part # on Yugo S113-27128 and the head rotates 360 but only folds back in one direction, always with the tabs up, so yes someone probably assembled that one wrong.

Well I have seen photo's of soldiers shooting it with the bi-pod turned around and it dose turn.

Movie prop, fantasy piece, the charging handle forward would not have much if any space.

super cool looking though

usmc8488, Isn't to WiseLiteArms that is making an SA42 with a machined rear-section (?). Regards, RichardS. US Army, Retired. Yes I knew they were using it. My attempt was before WiseLite was doing the Gen 2. After my build I just didn't pay attention how they were using it. I probably could have j...

I would suggest looking at cutting the Phia-Ord 80% in half from front to rear......doing the machining-out of the inside and then welding the halves together. It just seems that it would be cheaper/faster to do it this way instead of trying "EDM" due to costs of the work. Regards, RichardS US Army...

Very nice, would like to see more over all pics showing the entire weapon..

Hey all, I'm trying to get my hands on an AA tripod for my mg34. I can't seem to find much info here after a quick search, so I thought I'd suggest a topic for conversation: AA tripods! Are they very rare to find? Are there post-war varieties thaty collectors should be wary of? What makes them uniq...

First, APEX wont ship anywhere..... Washington for the M53... I live in "Kalifornia" and have problems getting items shipped, many business simply wont ship here....

I, in some cases are forced to pay a more $$ from others just to obtain items..

My experience...

Well 5 more hours on this one. Still at $6,000 and free handcuffs and room and board, my thoughts that is. Still a Full Auto not demilled MG42, again my thoughts. Pass the popcorn and lets sit back and see what happens. Later 42rocker The guy winning it has a bid history of 3....... new guy.. or a?...

Nice, would like to see photos of your collection..

Went to the range today but was unable to fire it. I don't think I was setting up the transport lever properly but instead of fooling with it and doing something STUPID I'm going to get some dummy rounds and do some dry runs plus consult with Oakrodent about it. Can someone point me in the right di...

This is listed on Gun Broker. It appears to be a three cut re-weld, it says it was saw cut long ago..

Question 1, when did they start torch cut three piece receivers vs saw cut.

Question 2, is this legal...
