Hi, Yes the grips are re-pop,and took a LOT of fitting to get close to acceptable.The gun came with some hand made buffalo horn or something grips,real winners! The bbl.was rebored to 9mm,not replaced.A place on the East coast did the work,Oyster Bay? An interesting foot note,as arrived the bolt was...

Another little project of mine.Started as a 99$ Chinese vet from S.O.G. in the 1990's.Re-bored to 9mm,refurbished/repaired old holster,home made take down/cleaning rod. Still some feeding problems,but she is old,swaped the mag spring maybe now???

Gotta agree with Bil,this forum is first cabin. I have bought/sold here as well and all with people I have never met.The transactions were all 100%. Well 99.9995% :? I am still waiting on 2 springs from MGWLLC,maybe someday? Thanks to you all,buyers,sellers,mods for cleaning up after me and Salt6 fo...

And we all remember the "stellar" performance of the Romanians at Stalingrad,correct?

Morning All, Well guess I will toss out a thought on the holes.As I have only a chopped off dfb MU date to look at,and no others,do the later production German receivers seem to have the square holes and the early have slots? Possibly as designed, it had a slot and as the war progressed the hole was...

Below is from BRP concerning s/a 42 satisfactory operation. I plan to use a 7.62x51 bbl,Styer extension and BH proofed bbl.Any opinions/experience on the best striker to use?Available to me are WWII German,Yugo,MG3. I am wondering about the best one to have drilled for the s/a conversion? :? No, I d...

Pirate, Concerning the solid base/hollow base wedges,do you know what model the hollow base wedge came from? I have a war time,proofed,wedge and it's solid.A Yugo bolt with a solid wedge also. RTG lists wedges that are post war?Are these the hollow base ones? I do not have any mg-1,2,3 bolt parts to...

Ab, Take your copy of the money order,you saved it,right?,to the post office, fill out the required form and presto! in 2 1/2 to 3 months they will send you a refund check. Happened to me twice last year,letters to California were lost,but did get both refunds. best,cz2 P.S. I think you have to wait...

Hi all,
Any one able to contact Richard at the new e-mail? I am trying to confirm prices on 375 $ + worth of parts and services and no response?? Any one have a good phone number for Thompson Machine?
Maybe my e-mails are blocked,they are from hotmail??
any help appreciated,cz2.

mkV, My rear rec.bit is marked as yours,no mg 42 designation,serial# 6032h,mu date,dfb production.Of note is the different subcontractor codes on the mu dfb receivers,arz and rea,mine is rea also. My thought is, somewhere between"e" and "h" block the mg42 designation was dropped as a time saver or t...

Longhorn,
Oh no,are my BSF/Witworth wrench sets now obsolete?

Concerning use of the rails as a guide in the re-welding,do not do it. As a first time sa42 builder I felt the rails would be the best way to align the sections also.After 3 welds and 2 re-cuts :oops: , I can say the rails are not strong enough to hold the sections straight! As a long time welder I ...

Mp-40,
Will any of these help? 10$ each+shipping or 30$ for all 3 shipped free.
best,cz2

Merry Christmas to all .
A special THANKS to all our military people stateside and overseas for your service .

Insanity?,maybe not.The complete bbl.jacket,no cuts in bearing end,no cuts in the caming section= all the important dimensions/locations for correct gun function.The rear just mounts the stock,fcg,and the rails to guide bolt.The front end controls locking/unlocking,timing of ops. It would sure save ...

TO ALL! :shock: :shock: :shock: Please note,WELDING galvanized metal is BAD for you! Take it from a long time millwright.One case of the zinc,say galvanized,shakes is all you want in a LIFETIME! Unistrut comes painted green,its bad when welded,but nothing like the galvanized. Trying to prevent a cas...

O.K.,I blew the $$$ for a mg-42 sling,now after it's on the gun,a couple of questions.Why the double straps?and what are the sewn in bumps function?
Never shot or handled a live one.Guess it shows. I don't have J.Baum's as well.
