Re: Mg.42 semi auto
SA trigger group installed , SA bolt, and cut recoil spring would be the only physical changes needed.

Re: BRP Firing pin in WLA M53
you'd be so much better off making your own 2 piece FP from material bought cheap from mcmaster-carr and an original front pin. http://mg42.us/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5462&p=42238&hilit=firing+pin+collar#p42238 I've been testing a duplicate of that for over a year now with great results. prototypes wer...

Re: mg 3 parts on 42?
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...

Re: slam fires or no ignition
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.

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.

Re: receiver dimensions for welding
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.

Re: A thought on anti OOB bolt mods
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.

Re: sights question
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.
