You too man. Sorry I didnt have a lot of time to chat but the creek is starting to be more of a "whirlwind" for me than a vacation

WOW that looks great

It looks like a cold steel receiver

Nice man glad they found your parts

Howdy Im looking for an MG34 lafette or the sled part that I can use on my 42 lafette. Please email me with info acadianagunworks AT cox.net

Like the title says looking for a STG44 kit. Please email me at acadianagunworks@cox.net

Try putting the bolthead on a flat surface and use a deep socket to compress the sleeve. Then (after having taped the jaws) use some needle nose pliers to turn it

Sorry Im late the the party but my inet went down at home. Anywho glad you got some help on this these guys rock for info

Well your bolt looks fine. I dont see anything out of the ordinary with it. Silly question but I have to ask, when you close the top cover are you sure the bolt slot is lined up with the rail on the top cover? Im just trying to think of why the bolt would get stuck rearward. Thats a major hangup esp...

HHmm didnt know that about the nozzle with the 308. Ive actually never tried 308 in a gun that was "set up" for 8mm. Now Im gonna have to try it

Well thanx man I didnt realize I was that well known
Anywho. You have a major issue going on there is something, Im guessing, with the bolt that is causing it to hang. Being as its doing it in 2 places the common area is the bolt. Can you take pix of the bolt and post em?

Hmmm so your bolt is stuck rearward with the recoil spring installed? Man thats a hell of a hangup.
Well I do go by Flemgunner on the forums but not sure how famous I am

Silly question but is your return plunger stuck back? It could cause the barrel to move back and forth and it would stop the bolt (ask me how I know). Most rewelds have a weld spot in the return plungers line so it may be the issue

The 7.62 conversion consists of a different flash hider and booster as well as the other parts.

That ammo should shoot fine, Its all I shoot in mine. Right off the bat Id consider the recuperator. Everything Ive ever heard or seen on em has the standard wound springs. Try the pogo test and see what happens

Nice dude. I see Ill be buying something else from you.

Nice dude Id really like to see that before welding up

There are two levers in the receiver, one does indeed hold the bolt back but I find it weird its called a trigger lever and not some variety of sear

That sux. I didnt know him well but he was a cool guy

Hi volgrimmer and welcome to the forum. Im glad to see you posting here and stepping up man thats a real cool thing to do. One question though for future reference if I have a customer who has a messed up WLA 42 should I tell them to send your way?
