Where do you see the actual gun? It is not in the link. Are you guys perhaps just making up "bits"? Pretty fun if you are

Tom

I have several WW2 weapons qualification cards and one book. Does anybody know what the original Wehrmacht MG42 Qualification Test consisted of? I would like to see if I can qualify myself on the MG42 using the original standard and course set-up.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Thanks Flem! You are exactly right, I have a bad plate and spring. Much appreciated.

Tom

Wow, I guess Post Offices everywhere are slow. But 65 years! The MG42 could have walked on its own to Germany in that time

Okay, I give. How do you remove the pin that holds the pressure plate? I have tried driving it out with a pin from both sides but it won't budge. To be safe, I have put a piece of 2x4 under the feed tray cover to protect the metal. Any tricks of the trade or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for an MP40 Bolt, any help appreciated! Any idea what a fair price is today if found?

As always, thanks in advance!

Thanks John! The ones I own have rings holding them together. How do you link the ring type? Where do you get the rings and is there a technique for bending them correctly?

Tom

Is there a proven technique to link 50 round 8mm Mauser MG42 belts together to make a single 250 round belt? Also, is it possible to use German DM-6 Improved Disintegrating Links with 8mm Mauser ammunition in an MG42?

Thank you for your time and consideration on these matters!

OMG! Excellent

Welding isn't that hard. I took a welding class at community college for $400 and took the kids with me. I bought an Everlast Arc/TIG welder for $575 that came with most items needed to weld. I spent about a $1,000 to get a welding table, helmets (my kids love welding), rods, scrap iron to practice ...

Could someone send me the guys e-mail?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, there are two holes on the lower rail. Once for pistol grip and one for the pin to slide into the lafette like the pic. Seems like we have a solution.

Thanks!

42Rocker,

Thanks! I sent you a PM.

Tom

To be honest, I couldn't tell you if it is the part as I have never seen one. It looks like it would work. I am curious to know how it doesn't fall out of the gun, does the pressure from the tripod keep the bolt in-place? Anybody know? All I know is from putting the MG42 in the lafette and the techn...

I need the pin that goes onto the receiver of an MG/3MG42 which allows the MG to fit into the rear MG lock of the Feldlafette. If anyone has one oor knows where to get one, I would appreciate it.

Thank you for any help!
