Scott, OOPS! :oops: Looking at your photos you do not have the grip stick mount attached, after you mount it my rant may make more sense. The mounting holes and cutout seem to be done on your rear section. the grip stick mount has the locating tab for recoup as part of it. Again this is for war time...

Morning Scott, I'll take a run at your recoup questions. It performs the same function in s/a and f/a MG42s. It must be trimmed to clear the f/a blocker bar or stud, whatever you have, also the sheet metal upright edge opposite the spring tube may need to be trimmed down to clear the s/a cocking bar...

Scott, I second Rockers caution, DO not base the re-weld on a set of used rails! Get a set of prints and build to specific points on the receiver. "D" cut out, bolt hole for front recoup mount, cam section locators, etc. Also pay more attention to how straight/smooth the inside is, not the outside! ...

[diz] Guess I'll add to the confusion on the issue. Currently on E-bay is a flash hider marked 8113-19152,I think this is a Yugo part number. The base is diagonal milled,not flat. I also think post war German/Nato production will be marked with NATO fsn numbers like 1005-12-121-2253. No cast in ston...

Please delete,parts found.

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy,safe,and successful New Year!

Looking for a mg-42 bbl. carrier w/strap. German production. Post war OK, single bbl. Need a usable carrier not a perfect collector item.

Hi All,
If you have the grip altered to fit the AR parts,consider a Timney drop in F/C for the AR-10. Nice large pins,compact hammer shape,designed to fire the 7.62 round. No high power spring required.

Hi Doug,
Considering your question on alignment,The second picture shows the rear section somewhat higher than the camming section .As the sections are only "tacked" it may help the alignment to re-tack the sections with the rear section somewhat lower. Hope this helps.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
ps. Thanks for the site Salt.
Best Wishes,cz2.

A question on rail rivets,are they cold formed or heated prior to forming the head? When they are used in the gun to retain the rails.Seems like hot forming might be easier and pull in tighter on cooling? Maybe over kill and not needed?

MJ, Congrats on your efforts!
