Can anyone please post a picture or 2 of a reciever that is in good shape at the rear of the charging handle slide? I need to see how much tigging is required to repair mine!!LOL!

Hi HPW,
Will these do? They are from my uncut UK spec deactivated MG42.

Thank You Very Much!! Is there any way to get ya to take some from an angle so I can see where the stamping 90 degrees around the charging slide slot? I really appreciate the help! Sorry I did'nt make myself too clear!!

Are you ready for some red hot slot action..oh that sounds much ruder than it did in my head. That's definatly not washing in the back ground (must remember to move stuff out of shot) and it's not a nasty skin complaint it's paint (some actually went on the walls!)
Will these do? If not I will take more pics. Any excuse to take pics of my toys

THANK YOU!!!!!! That was exactly what I needed!! I am so glad i found this site and the fine people on it!!! Thanks Again!!

No problem at all.

Thanks from me as well!! This answered many of my questions too, and there are very few good pictures of this area on here.



Now I know how the ratchet plate goes on! Yay!



Hey, this should be a sticky!!

Good pics but now we need to see the whole rifle. I really miss my old spec deac that I had while I was over there. It sure was pretty.

I have just gone to post a pic of my MG42 and I don't have a full pic of it just close ups. Where is the camera I feel a photo shoot coming on. I do have a pic of my 3 MGs: mg42,MG53 and a relic MG42.
Texengland what happened to your old spec 42? Could you take the barrel out of it? If you could that's worth about £900 easily, probably more.

Make this a sticky! Ive been looking for closeups to help my build and this is great!

TOTAL PORNO!!!!!!

I agree, they are very useful.

Nice pics!
