SA trigger group installed , SA bolt, and cut recoil spring would be the only physical changes needed.

1) Does the mg3 "new version top cover work with non-disintegrating belts (YES) and can it be used with the "old style" .308 feed tray and a standard (semi-auto) bolt? (YES-but not with links/belts only) 2) Does the .308 booster require the use of the MG3 flash-hider? (The mg3 flash-hider has the bo...

H as in history channel...?

The recoil spring inside the buffer weirded me out the most.

so the new blanks don't have the power to reset the hammer? Its following the bolt into battery?
Tighter/smaller booster cone or weaker recoil spring sounds reasonable.

when the tax stamp law was originally passed, the US government REFUSED to sell any tax stamps and it wasn't until the Supreme Court ruled that the US government HAD to sell the tax stamp that the American People got the opportunity to buy the regulated firearms. Can you provide a reference to this...

can you post a pic of the design
seems like you've got a lot of unneeded springs.

I think they sold most if not all their scorpion stuff to Sarco.

2ND THE SHEET METAL RECIEVER NEEDS TO BE HEAT TREATED YOU COULD USE A FAN TIP AND A TORCH OR THROW IT INTO YOUR FIREPLACE THEN FOLLOW HEAT TREATMENT PROCEDURES.OR HAVE FASHION HEAVIER METAL What ??? Really bad idea. What are your posts supposed to be? random thoughts or a randomly scattered how-to?...

the odd color scheme (now removed) was a response to a bad "upgrade" that left us with only a gray background that was tough to read black print on.

The 42 has a mix of english and metric measurements.
The reciever OAL is generally between 37 9/16" to 37 5/8".
But there is variations with all sheetmetal stampings.

get the matched set for a firing gun. these pieces are uber important you don't want almost matched parts in a working gun.

No, solder the nut on the pin so that the nut hits the striker unless the rollers are locked into the barrel extention.
just make sure your pins long enough to hit the primer when the bolt is locked.

how about soldering a nut on the firing pin.

to stop OOBs you need a collar on the forward portion of the firing pin that touches the striker keeping the pin from reaching the primer until the rollers have engaged the cam.
