Hi "ehs" sold the rear sight support to Grossfuss (bpr) "bpr" made the stamped receivers, rivets and welded them bpr sold the receiver to the MG manufacturer probably Maget (cra, WaA11) Maget manufactured the other parts, assembled MG42s, put markings on them and sell them to the German army. Fab.

Hi, this is a 1940 dated lafette.... so if i will paint it in RAL 7021 "panzer grey" (Schwartzgrau) because it was the natural color. now you have to chosse the battel field where you lafette is... if you want an "Afrika lafette" paint it in Gelbbraun RAL 8000 (on the panzer grey color) in middle 19...

the problem is less to find a good WWII barrel than to find one with the markings i'm looking for.
i ever have few " dfb" barrels , but my MG is a "cra" so i would prefer have a "cra" barrel than the "dfb"s i have

with the time i will find one

Fab.

will pay lot of $$$ for it
please check your spare barrels markings!!

It's a German WW2 MGZ40 re-used by the French army just after the war.

Hi

Fab.

the k98k they sell is nice too !!



Shameful !!!

It's a fake, i can prove it! Another desactivated MG42 from UK few month ago... http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/7877/13hn9.jpg now a post WWII yougo bolt with SS stamped on it :) http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/6149/40889127kx6.jpg and where it's stamped SS everywhere you can ask more $$$ http...

during 1943 Maget made 60 000 MG42... began with the marking 1943 cra serial 5000a ( or something like that). The first code GH was use by Maget with the beguining of the "d" serial to the beguining of the "g" serial. so they made 25000 MG42 with the date on them "1943" and 35000 with the "GH" code ...

it's the first model front sight used from 1942 to the end 1943.
if your MG42 is 1943 dated it should have this kind of front sight...



Fab.

If that can help you here is a good WW2 stock...
http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=91534084
but not in very good condition...

Fab

you can see the bakelite stock here: http://mg42.us/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6465&p=49561&hilit=bakelite#p49561 no WaA on it but the early German bakelite ww2 code is inside. http://www.lerenfort.fsnet.co.uk/img36.jpg that's why i think this stock must be a very early one from March 1942 (like my 42) Fab.

This 1942 dated MG42 is the only one i kept, because it is the earliest I found

i have still to find MG34 legs, first model barrel and bushing and after I began a 34.

Thanks a lot !!!
