AH!, what a bunch of Marys!, I could weld up one of those in 5 hours........but would you shoot it?. I will send a pic of a barrel shroud I got from blankman that had 3/8 gaps in it, and in one place a full half inch!

. It came out just fine....looking. Hell, I consider it a challenge. :twisted:

here is a pic of a badly butchered up torch cut that I saved thru "taking my time". It looks decent considering it had 1/2" gaps!!.

so I guess the early demilled receiver that I got when I bought my MG42 is a good thing, huh? I didn't get anything from the rear of the cam piece going toward the buffer at all, but I have an uncut front end..... I saw one of them sell on ebay for $1,300 once. Considering the pics of the outstanding welding jobs I've seen here, I'd say someone was nuts to pay that.

You welders have my admiration for the reconstruction jobs you do. I'm afraid my attempts would be only slightly better than duct tape, and look just as bad.

John B. just stated a mouthful! I have all the admiration in the world for you guys that can weld this back together, and then SHOOT IT, LOL! Seriously, i would never tackle this type welding project, it is far beyond my capability. I will stick with my BRP MG42.

Guys, all of you are doing an exceptional job on these builds!
