Yes, i am talking about one of the 8x57mm feed-trays for the MG42 that were converted with a "spacer" at the front to keep 7.62x51mm cartridges to the rear of the feed-tray. This modification was arsenally made at all MG42 be'in early converted to Bundeswehr/BGS MG42/58/MG1 oder early austrian Bund...

In my opinion - It's pretty hard to identify high-quality fakes of the AA-Ladders. Old fakes often leakin some accuracy in the point oft correct blueing/pcc . Same to the finish of production. Some fakes are fully 'handmade', leakin the signs of industrial stamping etc... But actually there's no way...

Mixed postwar Austrian and Yugo produktion, faked german produktion code on the ejector bar.
Btw...all "anti-bounce"-springbars are postwar made
