All finished except for the leather pads

Getting there

Bolts will be replaced with the correct ones once all is finished

Optic mount is starting to take shape

And the nearly finished product, just need to finish the optic mount, leather pads, range plate and reattach the bolt box.

Some more progress on the lafette painting. Red oxide primer and dunkelgelb.

I’m just waiting on some 2mm steel plate to attach it to the lafette and then I can start the welding and then move on to...

Yes it’s 100% yugo. I sold my German lafette 3 years ago thinking I’ll just buy another, but I was wrong all I could find was this yugo one with no optic platform.

And it will be ready for paint after I weld up the optic block base

Fantastic,
I can’t thank you enough for stripping the block down for measurements. I’ll be post up some pics when it’s completed. But for now I’m tackling the search fire mechanism

That’s brilliant thank you so much.
Pm sent

That will be great thank you

Hi all
Could someone possibly give me the measurements of the lafette optic block base in metric if possible please.
Length, width, and depth.
Thanks

Hi im looking for a lafette oil brush.

Thanks Shane

Excellent video but you mixed up about the paint on the 42 lafette.
They were painted mustered from 1943 and panzer grey pre 1943.

from what i can see in the photos its a repainted and stamped yugo lafette

Shane

im sure they will ship to the US. its only deact weapons they will not ship outside of Europe.
whether US customs will let the stuff pass i do not know

Zib are one of the best European dealers out there and their prices are hard to beat on mg bits and and bobs
