your 42 & 53 were stamped to start with so why bother with mixing in a milled one? your front end is stamped also.
im not a machinist like Pirate, so all in all ive got about 22hrs in my semi from start to finish.
someone good or with a real machine shop would have a lot less.

Re: Wise lite rec and my shroud question
im going to say yes.
lay them together and check it out.... if your short of the 37 11/16 number, see if its enough to just weld in.
no real way to go wrong here.
but there are a lot of multiple build pro's on here who may chime in later.

Re: F/S: Semi-auto Yugo M53/MG42 rear receivers from Wise Lite
as mentioned earlier, without Pirates help, i could not have built this on my own!! this may be easier than a reweld, but it is NOT an AK build. LOL very involved and unless you have either a PIrate to buy parts from or your own machine shop, this would be a very tough but still rewarding build. min...

Re: M53 receiver markings -where are they? Possible kit for sale

if its a yugo it should have that crest in the top cover and probably say dec 1943...
thats what all 3 of mine say.
