Re: MG42 Trouble Shooting Testing Discussion

Wow, sounds like a good plan. Wish I could offer good input but don't own a FA.
Remember a so so day at the range is still better than most. Good Luck!

Re: MG42 Trunion Replacement - Need Help

1st a quick question. Is your MG42 Full Auto or Semi Auto?
After that I might have a few names for you.

Re: Charging Handle - Bolt Retraction

Something is not right.You should be able to open the bolt and unload without firing the weapon.
To tight, binding, something is not right.
Review the camming area for weld material, bends, rub marks, etc.Good Luck
