I took apart my yugo top cover a couple of weeks ago to give it a good cleaning inckuding the top cover latch. Went t reassemble it and can't find the soring fir the cover latch. Went online ti see if anyone had one and struck out at brp, sarco, robertrtb none showed any and at gunparts corp they sh...

Thanks for the reply. I was wishing it was like my 1919a4 where to run 30-06, 308, and 8mm was just a matter of switching cartridge stops but the topcover was the same.

I guess another question is so if it shows a mg1 top cover would that be a 8mm top cover with a 308 feed mechinisim

ok here goes... is there a top cover ie. the mg1 top cover/feed tray at roberrtg that will work with both 8mm and 308? or will I need to have 2 top covers to do the 2 rounds. and right now only want to use the non disintegrating belts

I am new to the 42 and wonder the same thing. since seems like Angola armory site doesn't work anymore

cool.

the grip is no problem since have used that solution before on many guns so as to be able to not have to use a fixed mag, or belt in this case... just like i did with my rpd.


luckily the "fixes " aren't Permanent.

I have a question for the board. Living in California I need to mod the semi mg42 going to have built to be legal here. Since I want to use belts I bought a while ago the state considers iy a detectable mag. So I can't have a flashhider or pistol grip. the pistol grip is taken with a monsters grip t...

and here is a pick of the whole grip... from looking at a pic before is this the new type or old type... since received it today, and a pic of the wiselite receiver ...at least the grip hole area

to bad I found this trhead to late. bought a wiselite grip from apex because I figured it would go with the wiselite receiver I bought from pirate....as the picture shows it is way to long

is rtg the only place to find the buffer latch stud. my apex kid didnd come with one.

oh ok. so if want to do 8mm and the mg3 drums will need 2 diffrent top covers, and feed plates.

I am curious will the complete mg3 topcover that robertrtg sells work with the 8mm and the 308.?

Would the 10.8mm be to small to reasonabley run both 308 and 8mm through it?
