I am asking if anyone has one i c...

OK,,,i answered my own question,,,,,I assembled the 42' Full Auto, Post Sample today,,and lined the rail bolt guide grove even with the top of the Front Cam Guide grove,,welded her up, and with much more fitting, (as the gun was built with the rear receiver way to long,,,at 15.8"to the nose of the c...

Hi Matt..!,,and welcome....I bought my front shroud un-cut from Brian at BRP, and all the rest of it as a kit from him. tourch cut in 2 places,,super service and very knowledgable,,, a square front trunion will save tons of other alignment issues. I have not built a semi thou, so using a complete re...

Hi Guy's...! I came across a parts kits at our local gun show last month, luckly, the pieces are all there..! I really need to find a rail Jig this time, as the front Cam,trunion have been cut. I own J Baums 42 manual on repairing and found distance for cam opening at 15.040" from rear of receiver t...

Sorry for the late reply ,,,similar problem i encountered,,,a recouperator, thats to stout will also cause this light strike, as i had a 19 lb one in my FA-42' and "tried a new one" that took 22 lbs to pogo test,,result was exactly what happened to you,,,re-installed the original 19lb(as measured wi...

Here's a better picture of her,,!

Hi Guy's,,! I took my Phosphate coated 44' down to Texas, hunting Russian Boars and thought I would share a few shot's with you guy's!, she's Full-Auto of course, I have taken her 3 times down south for this type of hunting. Thank God we live in a country where you can do this,,!, ps,,,the boy put t...

Great Input Tom,,! I do coat both the bolt and rail's with the Sandstrom product, and since your post I went looking and found Lyman has a moly based spray at Midway and Lyman.com, seems bullet casters coat the lead bullets for reduced fouling,,,that's a big plus, as I also cast the 9mm for my mp-40...

Glad to help,!,,The Military, USA that is, applies it to wing front edges and along seams to reduce wear I read, the whole goal of mine was to save the rails and main spring,also the inside of the receiver where the re-coil spring rides. I also coated my MP-40 Tube and Bolt,,,I am taking her out tod...

Hello all,,! Ok, i like the rest of you realise the MG-42 was built inexpensively and certain parts wore out sooner than others, with that in mind, i went searching for what would make my rails and other parts last the longest, using slick-50 as a lube,sparingly i might add, was my go to lube,, I wa...

Thank You to Bob,Tomcat and John,,! I installed the short bolt catch, ignorace can be cured!, also i repaired the ejector door spring, it had came off the receiver frame and was resting comfortably aginst the door, thus i believe my caught cases, were mearly bounced back up in between the charging ...

Actually,i found someting scary when investigating my spent brass, after John said week cartridge, i looked at all my brass,and i found the necks on 4 of them to be the same diameter as the case!!!!!,,,,,,i didnt have the go-no-go's a week ago, but this looks to me to be a Out of Battery Fire,,,,!,,...

That's the common thread,,,I used the Yugo ammo, in the 42's barrels, and also Yugo in the AK's, so hot water and break free, walmart available,is what's in store, for them. i put one of those de-humidifier rods in there yesterday, I'll go and check them again.....
you guys are the greatest!
Bernie!

Hi Guy's,,! I though why I was in Bass Pro shops to pick up some of the Barnes C-10,,since I use their bullets in my hunting rifles, and I though,,why not on my MG42?, so I followed the instructions to the T, and scrubbed my 42', and my 2 AK's,,low and behold, rust appeared!,,,I cleaned with out the...
