Re: Which 308 weld rod to use?

As nobody seemed to answer you question here I will go out on a limb and say I prefer ER70S.
I don't think you would be disappointed if you tried using it Abominog. Maybe someone else here will comment.

Re: My stuff back....

Bill, If you can post names of the fellows who "borrowed" these items maybe we can help you locate them.
Nothing worse than trying to help someone out only to have them run off with your items.

Re: Early MG34 butt stock

Harry, I just went over my limit on what I was willing to spend, I put in a bid for $420 for the one on Gun Broker that had the metal tips. I told you I was too cheap as it still didn't meet the reserve. :oops:
If the Creek wasn't just around the corner I may have bid higher.

Re: Early MG34 butt stock

Harry, I have seen them sell for between $400-$500, sometimes they ask more but they don't seem to sell. I too am looking for one but I'm cheap and only want to spend $300-$350. :oops:

Re: wTb: Mp44 bolt

I have sold two in the last three months, unfortunately I have no more for sale.
There was one at the Knob Creek show that was around $550. Both of mine brought over $800 so reasonable is in the eye of the beholder.

Re: What is the going rate on an mg42/34 reweld?

I would say $500-$800 depending on their experience and if they are licensed properly.
Anyone can do it cheaper if they are not licensed so be cautious.

Re: how hard would this be to reweld... saw cut

I use an aluminum jig with copper backers. As someone previously said, bevel the edges to get maximum penetration. Start at the corners and build up the edges until they meet, jump around from one side to the other never staying in one spot too long. Don't be in a rush! Double check all measurements...

Re: how hard would this be to reweld... saw cut

This all depends on your skill level and your welder. I've used a Miller SyncrowaveTIG welder and filled larger gaps than that before. Use a good jig and take your time. it can be done.
