Check my past posts on this. I had to file the rear hooks on the mount and the mounting pad on the gun. The hooks were filed to allow the gun to seat further to the rear as the trigger actuator was right on top of the trigger at rest. Since you want to use he mount on your MG34 as well you may not w...

The role of the red plate still seems to be unclear (at least to me). I received JBaums translated manual on the MG3 Lafette and the description is unclear. The only place in the manual that goes into any detailed description is under the section "Shooting with Maneuver Cartridges" and goes to descr...

Yup those are what mine look like. On some of the barrels I have the line isnt visible but those are barrels with the finish less worn. Good to know they aren't cracks. Thanks to everyone for the insight. I continue to learn more about the MG42 system every day.

I have noticed these myself on several of my barrel extensions. I had assumed they were cracks but wasn't sure. Any additional info would be helpful.

I know that America's Armed in Milford had a supply of Yugo 8mm about 6 months back. I was...

I think beltfedshooters.com was/is putting something similar out.

Good advice guys. Thanks very much.

I've been test fitting my Wiselite M53 and the front mounting surface on the gun is about 1/10 of an inch too long for the catch on the tripod. The mounting studs on the grip frame fit right int...

First post here but I have been lurking forever. I picked up a Wiselite about 2 months ago. I had read everything I could on this board about the Wiselite quality issues and had bought with my eyes open. Quality was OK but not great. I am experiencing what seems to be typical issues for the Wiselite...
