Great items, and some of the best packing I have seen on anything in quite awhile, a great transaction! Thanks again Richard... Chris..

Took about an hour of delicate work with the old dremel to get the old screws out and the end pieces off....will look real good once I get it all put together. Chris..

Just picked this up...the cool thing about it is that I have the metal tips...just have to find what box I put them in... . If anyone has a spare buttstock socket, and the screw, along with the bakelite end piece let me know. Thanks, Chris...

Bummer, oh well, at least I didn't pay that much for it, and it'll sure look good on display..... Now if I would have paid a ton of money for this it would be a different story....guess you can't win every one... CHris..

Some more photos after the "clean up" Chris...

Just came in today, verdict is still out as to if original or not. I like the rust on it, but that can be faked. Haven't seen any markings as of yet..

Here's how I did mine, redid the entire area on a reweld to match TNW's design... Chris...

Man, nice going, I wish I would have bought these kits by the pallets 7-8 years ago, looks a whole lot better than my stock portfolio..... Chris...

What would be the value range of a 42 Lafette that has German markings throughout, it is an old I/O import, no Yugo paint, it has a darker grey paint to it, not the pea green yugo or norwegian paint. No bolt box, no range table on the back. Is 900$ reasonable? It seems like the values have came down...

I always check completed auctions on gunbroker to get a feel for what the market is bringing.... Last two FN 1922's I picked up I think I paid around 240$ or each one, but that was several years ago. I'm going to guess minimum 350$, probably closer to 400$ w/ the holster. Chris....

I still have the extended sears in stock if anyone needs one...

I also have a TNW MG34 semiauto rec. for sale, pm for details. Thanks, Chris...

Use the search function on the forum and dig back through all the threads. TNW is the 800 pound gorilla in the room, they need tweaking and babying at times, but they do work.... There are trigger upgrades available as well. Chris...

That leather looks good....I had a good solution for mine....I was lucky enough to score an original MG34 Tripod 4 years ago or so, that had postwar canvas pads....I went to a local Salvation Army and found a nicely weathered leather jacket that made a perfect donor for replacements.... Looked the p...

I have additional MG34 extended length sears for sale again, have them in hand, prices were a little higher coming back from the Machine shop on this run, not bad though, prices up 3$ each compared to my last run: 1 sear-32$, this includes free shipping Each additional- 29$ each. These are .25 longe...

Sear/Trip levers are in.... Machine shop charged a little more for this run, but not too bad. My Previous prices were 29$ for one, and 26$ for each additional. This included free shipping...and still does. New prices are 32$ for one shipped, and 29$ for each additional, only 3$ more per sear/trip le...

I am restoring an earlier MGZ can as well at some point so this will be helpful. The MGZ40 cans are quite a bit different with the placement of the wood blocks. There is an internal piece to hold the MGZ40 collimator assembly, and the lens holder in the top of the can is quite different. Thanks, Chr...

Would be hard to say without seeing it in person, but if you look at an original receiver there are slight depressions located on the top of the receiver, when the feed tray comes down upon that it needs to have that bevel in it so the spring retainers in the feed tray will begin to engage to snap d...

Bueller? Bueller?

I need some help w/ restoring an MGZ40 (later model) scope can. What is the length and width of the wood block in the lid that holds the accessory lenses? Also, what is the diameter of the two holes (and depth if possible) of the section that retains the lenses? Secondly, within the can, how long is...

Everything is rolling for another run of these, should be about 2-3 weeks before I have them back in hand. Chris...
