Glenn forgot to mention one thing about our outing today: heat and humidity! Within minutes we were all dripping with sweat, and moving the gear away from the shooting tables and into the shade of the pecan trees. Our special thanks to my good friend and neighbor, Keith, who allowed us to use his b...

Aw, I'll bet Bil knew that -- didn't you, bil? :lol: GeeDeeEmm ... if those guys were so smart,how come they didn't forsee the Spanish coming?? :lol: ---bil Thats the scary part bil, they did predict his arrival to the month. They just mistook him for a benevolent god named Quetzalcoatl, which soun...

Welcome hairtrigger! :welcome: :welcome: :welcome: :welcome: Curious: how far along are you on the post-sample? What do you lack having it up and running? It looks nice. Did you use all MG42 parts? All assembled from a single parts kit? 'Nother question: What exactly is the law concerning post-samp...

I don't know what the current stock situation is with Marstar, but last year I bought some drums and a carrier from them and they were all German WWII with waffens and the whole shebang. I ordered "Yugo" stock, but everything I got is original German. Hope that is still the case. GeeDeeEmm :D nice!...

Ed, I live just south of Little Rock. I sent you an email. GeeDeeEmm I am currently in Little Rock AR is there anyone around here who is really smart on these that can take it out for its first outing? If I need to send it back I would like to know sooner rather than later. I would hate to have to ...

I bought my top-of-the-line Dremel last year, and am I glad they have a five-year guarantee. I don't know where they are made, but mine has not been dependable, nor has the Four replacements that they have sent me. Every time I use it -- always for light duty stuff -- it gets so hot that I can't us...

Our governor, Mike Beebe, ran as a moderate Democrat, and initially governed to the right of middle. THEN, the stimulus package was offered to Arkansas, and the Governor lapped it up with both arms wide open, and much gratefullness and praises for the new Obama administration. There was literally an...

Looks like a P.C. arrest from here. Any of our N.H. board members have further info?

Hello av1cadet, And welcome to THE board for MG42 lovers. I'm afraid you will have a very difficult time enticing members here to do a money-up-front deal of any kind. The reason -- several instances in which members ponied up-front money for various items/services and received nothing in return. Th...

Text of a new law just signed by the governor of Montana: Text of the New Law HOUSE BILL NO. 246 INTRODUCED BY J. BONIEK, BENNETT, BUTCHER, CURTISS, RANDALL, WARBURTON.

I still do not know how I am going to do the bolt... Its a tricky one. I've read how others have done it, but I refuse to order pre-made parts. :\ JD, Both Pirate and Richard Thompson (Thompson Machine) have been good enough to do pictorial tutorials on converting the MG42/M53 bolt to semi-auto. I ...

Welcome, BF2 :welcome: :welcome: :welcome: :welcome: Start reading in the "stickies" section and dive right in. It's important to know what the parts are called, so study the parts listing: http://www.mg42.us/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=3904 (Heads-up #1 -- the MG42/M53 machine gun DOES NOT have a "trunni...

This guy lives in LIttle Rock, Arkansas -- only 45 minutes from me. I wonder if he would consider allowing me to pick this up in person if I win it? That could save a bunch on shipping, right there! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) GeeDeeEmm By the way, that's a BIG bullet, so it's worth every penny . . . .

I should have chronicled my first build, it would have made a great sticky of what NOT to do, but that was back in the dark ages before I found this site and its skilled members. : Oh, you can rest assured that my build will throughly cover the "what NOT to do" aspect from every conceivable directi...

I know that the boss man does not like to make an issue of it, but it would be nice if a "Donate" banner were made a feature of the board index page -- and maybe every page thereafter. The question of how to make donations to this site comes up again and again. Perhaps one of the mods could make do...

Hi Guys, I've been lurking around and watching the site every day, but spring has been hard on me arthritis-wise. Have just felt terrible. Hope next week to install the 220 to the shop, and I'm ready to roll. A friend gave me a 110 mig welder that I just got working. It does a great job. But I need...
