i dont see any numbers or stamps on the outside of the stock.

when i get time ill take it apart and see if there are any numbers on inside.

i think ill just leave the finish alone.

ill check with the gun shop and see if she still has the bayo.

what does a correct band look like?


here are some photos of the bolt and import mark.

it has a good bore. the lady at the gun shop where i bought it said the gun came with a bayonet when the guy traded it in. she was selling it seperatly. should i have bought it too? what is a bayonet worth? non-RC? does that mean non reconditioned? not much finish left on the metal just rust. would ...

here is one i picked up at local gun shop for $160.
not sure of its value but it shoots good.
barrel and receiver are only things numbers matching.
it has plenty of birds stamped all over it.

sorry for the wait, ive been working on other projects lately and havent had much time to work on the computer. johnnymg- i may have to try that. sharpsshooter5090- i recall in another thread(i though they were gona make it a sticky but i dont see it) where a member did this with the quill handle bu...

thanks guys.

bil, it works fine with the rounded slots. i made one of the slots smaller than the others so
the barrel bearing would only go in one way.

are you using a german receiver you got from ima?
myself and other members have had this same problem when using a yugo buffer.
i ground the front of the cams in the receiver down with a dremmel and it works fine.

welcome sharpsshooter5090.
here's some photos of the one i made.
since i dont have the machine to make the square keyways i made them round.

here is the blueprint of an original mg3 type someone posted months ago.

can someone post pictures of the front, rear and inside of these bushings?
id like to see the keyways.

had a good time at the shoot. i found a few of the things i was looking for.

i never did find anyone that had the barrel guide sleeves for the mg42. i talked to a guy who said he had 5 of them on friday but one guy bought all of them,i guess ill have to make one on the lathe.

jbaum, bring your mg42 and mg3 manuals, ill buy a few.

robert, where did you get your new ratchet plate?

i plan on being there saturday and sunday.

since all the yugo kits are the same i would buy one from sog,last i heard they were $249 verses mgs $350.

nice .50 gary. i think he was meaning to put the spacer inside the barrel bearing before you tack welded it,please correct me if im wrong drooling idiot. gary, did you cut the slots with a 6mm broach or do it another way? ive been trying to find another way to cut these without buying the 6mm broach...

if you dont mind me asking, how much did you have to give for the receiver section with the barrel guide sleeve?

does brp have anymore?

wooooowwwwww. do i know how to stir the s__t or what. i ask this question mostly cause i was considering making my own rear receiver section and would it be legal and if i decided to sell it, would it be considered a firearm . i got my answers and then some. thanks for all the replys. stearmandriver...

the part about nfa i got from the blueprint of the receiver on this site. it says (notice- mfg of this assembly by an unlicensed manufacturer is a violation of the national firearms act, for reference use only) ive also noticed many posts on this site(just like cpt kirks said- IMHO, if somebody want...

can anyone tell me why the back section of the receiver is considered the receiver by BATF. when these guns were manufactured the barrel shroud and rear receiver where all one piece(a receiver),after they are demilled only the rear section is considered the receiver. so why is it considered a violat...
