WOW!!!!!.....can you believe that with over 4-days left, that "Yugo" MG42 Lafette is up to $1,616 ?????

Someone is really going to be mad later.

Hello Brian, Have you tried Gun-Borker-Auctions (?). Have you tried E-Bay (?). Have you e-mailed or called Allegany-Arsenal and SARCO, Inc. Have you e-mailed/called GunPartsCorp (?). Have you called/e-mailed Ohio-Ordnance-Works.........or "Brian" at BRP-Corp (?). Have you contacted "John" up at MARS...

What is really sad.........is that I have been offered a few of these WWII Tripods from England (where the "shop-owners" believe that even with the weld-lines on that front weapon-mount, that the "shop-owners" say nothing is wrong...."it's all WWII German"! ). I was even offered an Austrian MG42 Bol...

Hello Bergflak, Thank you for the "link" to that MG42 Lafette on E-Bay. My thoughts are that this is an attempt to pass a "Yugo" Tripod off as WWII German (?)......as evident by the front and rear weapon mounting-brackets.....the "D-Rings", and some of the markings do not look correct. But you have ...

Great books for the guns that you own.

maxfaxdude, I believe that the "issue" that you will incounter is that these Belt-Loaders" usually are usually sold as complete units (IE: Acomplete Belt-Loader with Table-Clamp)...........and for someone to sell off their "Table-Clamp" from their unit will make their Belt-Loader not complete (unusa...

Have you looked on "Bergflak's" web-page in Norway (?).

Also check with BRP-Corp (Brian)......and over to Ohio-Ordnance-Works.

Might place a WTB ad over on the Sturm.-Board.....(?).

usmc8488, and ncreptile, I have read that Bob-Naess from Black-River-Militaria has done this work in the past......and we have had another MG42-Board member posting some photos and information about his SA42-Build by "Bob". Bob has not advertised this service........so I would guess that the best wa...

Another suggestion might be to make/replace the spring-loaded-release in the rear of trigger with a small-plate that would keep the trigger from moving to the rear more than the semi-only-"travel-distance" when either the upper or lower part of the trigger is pulled on. Just a thought. Regards, Rich...

JH, I stand correct.......I overlooked that is in posting. Isn't there something to do with a disconnector/trip that must be hit by the bolt during forward movement (?)......that unless the disconnector is "tripped" that the gun remains in full-auto-mode (?). As this is happening intermittently, pos...

maxfaxdude,
They are not only on GunBrokerAuctions......but all over E-Bay in USA and DE (Germany).

Also......did you try contacting SARCO, Inc......and ask about the missing table-clamp......or did you buy it this way (?).

Haak48, Damien lives on one of the British Isle.......where he tells us that he can own a semi-only SA34 (MG34 that only fires one bullet with each pull of the trigger)........but his LAW will not allow him to own a full-automatic MG34... Damien, Have you talked with Bob-Naess of Black-River-Militar...

Vavoom42, By the photo, it looks more like those markings are from the left-rear of the receiver of the MG42 manufactured by Gustloff-Werke, Suhl in 1943. Below these "engraved" markings should be a serial-number w/wo-prefex.....and under that engraved code of "dfb" (which is the code for Gustloff-W...

Der Alder, On the subject of the MG3 FH and Barrel-Bearing..........knowing the added weight for the SA42 Bolt-Assembly that will probably end up being the "challenge" that must be over come............would it be better to suggest the switching back to MG42 FH, Booster-Cup/"Nozzle", and Barrel-Bear...

Thank you Der Alder. Moving along.......questions arise from this that have come up, that could/should be addressed at this time. 1: What has Wiselite said about this "short-stroking" action of your Wiselite SA42 when you called their customer line (?).....and their suggestions for possible cures (?...

Hello Jbaum, I guess we are about to discuss the ideas of pressure and where I get my information....correct (?). I really don't want to scare you though........and none of this is "personal". I respect your information, and Translations of German Manuals. First.....the Germans (during WWII)....made...
