German or Yugo

[railsplitter]

Please see the two sets of barrel bearing, booster cone and flash hider. One came with my Yugo parts set the other was purchased separately. Are they all Yugo Parts?

Upper set

Flash hider: dull powder finish, narrow knurled edge
Booster cone: squared ends more pointed tip
Barrel bearing: shiny stainless steel? Groove marked with “B”

Lower set

Flash hider: shiny finish, wider knurled edge,
S113-19152 hyphenated 9 digit serial number
Booster cone: rounded ends, flat tip, marked “11”
Barrel bearing: no groove smaller diameter hole

My M53 parts set has the same code on the flash hider, and LOOKS idenical so the lower set must be YUGO m53! The top set might be german MG42! Rod (carlque aka dellque)

Top one is post war replacement German for MG1 and the bottom is Yugo M53. The part number gives it away. The German part numbers are set up a little different than the Yugo. Bottom is definitly Yugoslavian.
