Parts markings

Post by ctbea »

Checking the ordnance codes on line I am unable to ID a solid wood mg42 buttstock. Left side markings are WaA750 and hvq 43. Unfortunately it has several cracks and I'd like to find a replacement eventually. Right now I'm just trying to ID it for my records.

Secondly, can anyone tell me what parts on a cra MG42 ('GH, 43) were marked with "cra" I assume various WW2 German .makers were combined in the final assembly.

Lastly (for now), were original flash hiders always ordnance marked. I have several that appear to be German (narror rows, shall knurling) but have no waffens or maker codes.

Thanks for any help. I'm trying to get one "good" set of parts for "keepers" then switch most wear parts out for MG53 items.

PS. This was mistakenly posted to the MG34 General discussion board. Repeated here. I'll try to delete from the MG34 board.
