Hate to revive this old post but I just ran across my 'Happiness is a belt-fed weapon" Angola Armory bumper sticker and was wondering if A.A. was still in biz?

FYI-I was looking for a foot pedal mod for my cheapie HF tig machine #91511 and found this thread on MG42 of all places!. If your the mechanical type rather then the electronic type look at this. http://weldingweb.com/showthread.php?t=34235 It's still stricker start, but you can ramp up the current ...

I read the ATF guys comment that he could remove the block and make it full auto--well that's essentially most converted semi auto's isn't it ? Don't most ATF approved semi MG42s have a block in the receiver that could be taken out?

My M53 was solid black. The only shiney parts were the top cover/feed tray and the machined parts all the receiver was matt or dull finish. When I got mine welded together I got some of the black oxide solution as sold at Enco and MSC and rinsed it with hot water/degreased and put the black oxide in...

Here's a tutorial(more of an outline) that and advanced builder should be able to follow to get full length spring.This conversion still requires machine work and welding but much less than other conversions I've seen. Another thing I like about it is the buttstock and buffer/ spring housing comes o...

Are there any partial receivers left. Haven't been able to keep up to date...?

I did a Conversion that had MUCH less machine work than the missing pictures version I'll post a link to a pictoral tutorial when I can get unbusy. Making a "kit" sounds like a nightmare-as you probably know these MG42 parts don't all fit up just right and most parts are interchANGABLE with fitting ...

[quote="TOM R"]I think the problem is too many are waiting to buy new receivers. I personally think a weld-up is easier then relying on the fit and function of a new receiver, these old ones had the parts fit to them so you know the parts will fit just my .02. Your right about that Tom R. I don't th...

Good news for all you folks who have been patiently waiting for Armory Parts Exchange (APEX gun parts) to get the Wise Lite Arms products posted. I called the owner (who was slogging through the heavy Colorado snows on the drive back from Phoenix). He allowed me to post the WLA products under their...

I hope that doesn't mean destroyed barrels :shock: From what I've read anything imported from the evil import list( isn't mg42 on it ?)with a barrel has to have the barrrel demilled isn't that why the Galil kits come with a new US barrel? if Sarco is telling the truth and they weren't demilled enou...

Excellent project -your brain works well!

I agree. Considering there ain't that many around and it's a key peice and pretty hard to make well. I bet new made would be more than $200.

I saw one last week went for $205

YES

I got this kit early before this board existed

I have a M53 kit that still has the camming peice attached and then some. Is this a common demil? Value?

Accoring to shots build the semi bolt extension is 2.5" long, so that is how much the buffer tube needs to be extended--in Rocky's buffer tube extension it seems more like 3.175" was added to the spring travel length which is .675'" longer spring travel than is stock. Is this by design or ????

We're cool- I also participate in humor-unfortunatly the internet doesn't allow the face to face clues of when a persons joking or not...This is a great board and you do a great job!

Thank you gentlemen.Yes I have a M53 bolt. The anti-bounce assy is pretty substantial in the spring dept so I didn't want to end up with something unsafe by leaving it out and not having a semi equivalent.
