I know from all of the reading on the subject, it is typical to tig weld the receiver. Has anyone had success mig welding it ? thanks

yes i did use a mig on one of my 42's, sometimes it comes down to the job (condition of the reciever) and witch welder you are better with.

Lots of folks have....

Do u know what type of wire was used ?

I used a mig on all of my 42s and i want to try it on my 34. I can get good penetration with the mig but before i start this project, I want to get some suggestions on what type of wire some people have used. thanks

Anyone ? mild stainless, special alloy, regular steel wire ?

I done a good scrap using the MIG welding, I finish to have a aluminum boat using the MIG. This is the welder that was so easy to use and it has a huge expansion for the welding industry.

I am about to start welding my MG34. It is not recommended for the 34 due to the material the receiver is made out of. I did my MG42 receiver with it and it worked fine.

I use my Mig for all my welding... MG34s, MG42s, MG13s, PPSH41s, PPS43s, SG43s, & ect ect. Never had a problem. Also BRP uses mild steel wire for their XM34 builds. I use ER 70S-6 wire.

How does the blueing take to that type of wire?Is there a color change? And what type of blueing do you use.This is for the 34.Thanks. ---bil

The blueing matches very nicely. I have it hot blued.

thanks oakrodent, getting ready to start the project soon. Bil, I use black oxide and never had a problem with it.

Thanks,guys! ---bil
