I forgot to mention that I do have the correct buffer for the heavy bolt and yes it is different. I will post pictures a little later. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy this firearm. I have several belt fed weapons and I find I shoot this one the most. Followed by my PKM My 42 is running flawlessly.

Another mini update. Ive put 2000 rounds through her now. She runs like a well oiled sewing machine. Not one malfunction at all. Ive made two cones. One with a 9,5mm hole and one with a 10,5mm hole. These with the fact I have a light bolt and a heavy bolt give me a lot of versatility in terms of bee...

Mini update. She runs great. I just hope im not beating the gun up here.

Some of the shells have been getting hammered. They look like this.

I forgot to mention, I made the booster out of EN30B

So! I just couldn't wait. Went to the range today for a short bit just to test her out. Decided to load one round in the belt and fire it. After the first round I pulled off the front end to have a look see. No issue's. Loaded another round and tried the same again. No issue so far. I thought just f...

I've taken the advice and changed the 9,5mm to 11mm I'm also going to make one at 10,5mm just in case, I can always machine it out later. I hope it works! As I mentioned before, I'm hoping to test it out this weekend.

Ok, this is what ive managed to come up with for the moment. Hoping to get a chance and test it by the weekend. It fits perfectly. You see how different my attempt at the correct part is vs an original Yugo m53 booster. http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee408/bigbore1/Mobile%20Uploads/0ED46961-29B...

Thanks Gentlemen for all the assistance. Ive decided to try fabricate the part from scratch, even though I don't have the measurements of an original part. What I want to do is effectively try "shrink down-copy" a Yugo M53 booster to fit the Italian gun. Using the Yugo booster as a template. Ive tak...

Hi, 1: Does the gun operate now in 7.62x51mm/.308 (?)......or what issues is it having (?). Yes it does operate if you insert the barrel bearing unside down but it shoots very slow, maybe 500-600 rounds a minute. Also by shooting it like this I see it has started to cause damage to the barrel bearin...

Hi Gents. Just a quick attempt at explaining my dilemma, using a cell phone camera. I apologise upfront for the terrible quality of the video. I hope this short video explains my problem regarding missing parts. Once this video has been viewed I intend deleting it. As always I appreciate all the ass...

I will try put together a video over the weekend if I can find the time. Might be a bit easier that just pictures. Thanks again for all the help guys

Sorry to post like this in a row but as I think I post :-) The idea of turning down an original cone crossed my mind. I believe I could turn the cone down to size and make it fit. My concern is if it would still be thick enough to be safe?! The cone material would be very thin after this, on an orig...

Infact im even prepared to jump on a plane and come visit if it may mean success. Ive been thinking about flying over and attending all the machine gun shoots in the hope of finding something! Im just concerned that the Beretta version may never have landed over there!? I don't want to travel in vein!

Hi Gents, thanks for the replies, sorry im only getting back now but its been rough out here is SA at the moment. Back to business... The flash hider from an original 42/3/53 don't fit at all. Ive tried the lot. The flash hider on the Beretta seems to have a different ID?! I would have to turn down ...

A quick update guys. I tried inter changing a MG3 flash hider with the Beretta's and can tell you it doesn't screw on. Its a little to small. Also thought of trying a MG3 barrel bearing/booster in place of my bearing with the hope of screawing my flash hider on. . It doesn't fit at all. Im trying to...

This is what I need. The one in the picture is for a M53 in 8mm. Its to big and doesn't fit in my gun. I believe the 308 version is a little smaller, the actual part. http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee408/bigbore1/29005F2B-8944-48F4-97EE-9441427FD26E_zpstyazaffa.jpg http://i1226.photobucket.com/...

Hi all, I need some urgent help. Im looking for a 308 booster cone for a project gun. It seems no companies out there can ship to me here in South Africa. What other options are there? Its for an MG42/59 chambered in 308 Do you know of any Euro suppliers that will ship. Or even the process to follow...

Fantastic news!!! She runs. I was suppose to wait until the range day tomorrow but couldn't do it, so I decided to take the day off and go shoot. Great to hear :wnana: Did we mention we like vids :mrgreen: I'm glad it worked out for you. Just out of curiosity, what is the ammo situation like there ...
