Yes Sir. Removed the bolt and rotated in but had to file down some of the aluminum trigger housing to get it in. Now I need to do a little more work to align the hanger hole. I guess I thought it would drop right in. The stiffener on the left side the receiver seam to be a little long and not letti...

Just one more note, the new Wise Lite bolt group will only work with their trigger housing. There trigger housing is designed so the internals (hammer) sits lower.

Yup, that's what the firing pin holder does alright. On another subject, the MG42 doesn't have a trunnion. It does have a cam piece and a barrel extension, but the cam piece is only involved with unlocking the bolt rollers from the barrel extension when the locked together barrel and bolt recoil. J...

One more photo of the barrel door support bracket.

Rob,

Here is two photos of the receiver piece this sight came off of. Marked "ehs".

I believe it was very early production. I hope someone here can shed light on the lack of knurling.

Yes striker or striker sleeve, it forces the two bolt rollers out locking the bolt head into the trunion and barrel extension.

I have only one M53 SA and one MG42 SA home build under my belt. My first was in 2013 and I did the bolt modification’s myself and soon went to the BRP 2nd generation bolt. After a catastrophic failure, out of battery detonation of a very old 8mm round, in my MG42 SA I was faced with a rebuild. The ...

Looks like a good deal on a project build, appears to be a BRP rear receiver with a lot of work done and some nice accessories.

NO PM received, my email h.connors@centurylink.net... To clarify I did not question the authenticity of the gun, it is a good looking WWII MG42, I only mentioned that it had the Postwar Austrian Army (BH) stamp on it. That means they used it like the early West German Army did as well as the German...

messerschmittfan wrote:The BH and Austrian coat of arms on the rear of the receiver shows it was a Austrian Army (Bundes Herr) reissue. Not sure about how the BK marking got on that piece as that is typical Yugo. The kit is still a nice one for a semi-or 07 build. Harry

othersmightlive Saw your kit on Gun Broker http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=470550516 You do have some very nice parts.. However, please anyone here correct me if I am wrong.

Like the new fresh look and it is easier to navigate with the quick links drop down.

Well done

My first build I was advised by someone here to buy two kits. I did from APEX . Between the to kits I managed to have the parts for one good build, there were worn and broken parts in both kits and I had extra receiver parts to practice welding with.
