Morning all, Well guess I must have an oddity dust cover,the only one I have or ever looked at,by the way.It's marked 3 places on the outside and once inside! The outside marks are the following-- 1-BK in a circle. 2-U inside a mark in the shape of a shot glass. 3-A small k in a circle,very small. I...

DA, :? What am I missing here? The" bolt catch" fills the space needed for s.a. firing pin,correct? I sure do not see how the "bolt catch"could be used in a s/a mg-42 conversion.The firing pin return spring,in the s/a conversion, seems to act in some what the same fashion except with considerably le...

Morning Richard,
Thanks for your time. The info in item 2 was the answer I needed.
I have a set of front rec. chunks and am trying to see if assembly is possible or maybe I need a more complete section. This would be a s/a build.
Again thank you. cz2.

For sale a MP-40 mag housing ,refinished?? WaA 254 on front of housing.Shows wear, scratches on both sides.Housing is stamped with #8445 on strap in front of mag well. The pictures make the finish look MUCH worse than it is.Actually has 90+% blued finish. $150.00 + shipping. I offer a 3 day NO hassl...

Hi again, :oops: :oops: Guess If I had the whole rec.,not just the front half I would have noticed the rail and recouperator in the way of the measurement! So from another angle--- I am trying to establish the recuperator to bbl. dimension in the front rec. section. Established reference points. 1 T...

Morning all, A question on recuperator location in relation to the bbl.The forward mounting hole for the recuperator is the critical one,correct? The rear hole is slotted allowing considerable fore/aft movement and the rear of recuperator is rough finish,so nothing exacting there.I understand the ta...

Masterangler,
An observation concerning your 'light strike". In the last picture is the front trigger housing hanger limiting the foreward travel of the hammer?

Michael J,

Hi 4/5ths and welcome, Concerning the grip stick question,SEE rocco1911's excellent thread on gripsticks"no primer strikes grip picture".It will save you a lot of time,money and distress! :( After a mistake,I am reworking a steel one.A sheetmetal box and Timney ar-10 trigger pack.A lot of engineerin...

Michael,
See my post in this section titled"mg-42 cam section dimensions/hole location".Dated Nov.-11-2007.Think this is what you are asking?

MattC, Well,for what it's worth I tightened up the buffer to butt connection on mine with a 3/32"dia. "O" ring of the correct i.d.Standard hardware part in the plumbing dept.I am sure "as issued"parts were a better fit,but,with mix-master :puk: you have to improvise.I have a Yugo "Sarac"buffer and G...

Welcome to the forum! Nice sight also.

Thanks Reb62,
I'm working on a Timmney trigger pack for the fcg and it seems to need the trigger bar lifted to put it in a "safe' mode.Boy anyone who has made his own fcg has really done something! I'm still at the paper stage,quite a task.
Thanks again,cz2

Hi Reb62,
Any chance for a couple of shots of the Wiselite safety,on/off from the top of gripstick? I am confused on the actual ops of the safety with the ar fcg in a 42 grip.Is the trigger bar extension lifted up or pressed down when the safety is on?

Thanks,cz2

:? :? :? Well Houston I think we have a problem.I deleted the first two posts concerning the wrench and now have two more from jbaum and bil in the box.Good to hear from you guys,but, seems like the system is compromised? I am surely not an advanced user with 60 some posts.OOPS 85 I'll go quietly no...
