I would double check your booster threading, my MG-3 cut shroud has no issue with the either of my M53 boosters or my MG-3 booster.

The good news is that, from everything I've heard, their kits are great, are pretty easy rewelds, and come with the rear ...

Re: Introductions (or one way to increase your post count).
Hey all, just starting out planning my first build, I hope to pick up a lot of great advice from you guys and with any luck figure out all mysteries, as a noob, of the differences between the mg42 and mg3 clone I'd like to build and get everything sorted towards my new adventure!

Are there still 308 barrels on th...
