Hello, I would appreciate any help with a diagram, measurements, photos of when the camming section cutouts have to be. I have a cold steel sol. receiver I need to weld to my front half of the receiver, and I want to know where the camming cutouts on the side need to be so I know where to cut off th...

Ok i made the first cut got the cammin block on but ran out of dremmel discs so cant get the other side on yet. But based on thus point i started marking the receiver based on the srawings i got from gunbroker. To answer your question i dont have any prior machinists skills just kinda floating thro...

Hey guys, Anyone have a diagram, or perhaps know what the distance is between the the front arm of the trunnion and where the 1st rivet goes? I have the BPR plans, and another one which I believe is a full auto, but it does not show the measurements there exactly. I want to know how much I need to r...

Awesome thread.. now are these markings on the receiver based on the BPR dimensions on their PDF?
I am starting my build... and starting the cuts is the first scary part lol!

Thank you! I had bookmarked that link...very helpful! Will do. I figure if I get it built right and working, than "if" I built another, at least I can just redo what I had done before.

I am not a machinist or engineer by trade, I have put together 2 Model A roadsters and motors, built a St...

Thanks guys!

If you have complete M53 then why bother buying separate receiver for it?

LOL - ok, minus the rear receiver.

There are many variations for a build. What condition the kit you're starting with, what equipment you have for building, and what you want it to be when you're finished (MG42? MG3? hybrid? M53?, firing pin style, receiver style) are all variables that make a single build link unlikely to match wha...

Hello Everyone, I know this may sound dumb, but does anyone have a link handy that shows a step by step build, and/or solid plans. I have found 1-2 here that seem great , and also a few posts seem to have pictures where photobucket is wanting $$$ for posting on 3rd party sites. I stumbled across a f...
