Re: New MG42/M53 build

Yes that is a help. I will take the measurements from the cam to my cut on the shroud and then measure cut to rear and add together. And that should be 15.039". Thanks

Stainless welds differently then carbon though. Keep that in mind.

Re: Which 308 weld rod to use?

The er70s is what I am going to use for my main weld and someone correct me if I am wrong in thinking the front receiver bushing is stainless. I will be using 309 stainless rod which is stronger when welding to carbon steel

Re: Newbie with a mg53 kit from apex

Brpguns said that they should have complete semi bolts back in stock by mid September. Maybe something to get sooner then later. I just got my kit and trying to get all my parts for semi before I even start building her. I learned my lesson with my sterling build, no bolt parts. Big sad face.
