Re: First Time Buyer

FYI, sounds like a great gun. I got my FA MG42 a couple years ago and never regret it. BTW, I've also purchased several non-MG42 MG's that were safe queens and one a museum gun that all had problems that cost $$$ to get professionally restored so I could shoot them. At least with the ones you know a...

FYI: Lafette mounts/etc for sale at auction

Just a FYI for anyone interested. As I was looking thru online live auctions this morning, I saw multiple Lafette mounts, 52, going up tomorrow. Also MP40 mags, 288, and a MG42 kit w/ a display gun and parts. Sometimes these can go cheap, but usually not. Lot#'s 2354, 2355-69 and 2627-32. https://ww...

Re: Spade Grips for the MG42 (not M53)

Got a sets of grips thru jbaum and have worked great. 3 sandbags on front leg of MG3 AA tripod and very little movement. Easy to shoot and even easier for others to use who never shot a MG42.
Here's a video link. http://youtu.be/9zNeUL9JgzI

Re: AA Tripod with Bum Leg

For a temporary fix, you could put some sort of adjustable pipe clamp around it and tighten when you get it adjusted to the desired level. I put 3 clamps on mine just for safety reasons when I attach my 1919a4 Full auto with 3 ammo can mount because of weight.

Re: Spade Grips for the MG42 (not M53)

I missed the Creek but would like to buy one if still available. It'll make definitely more fun shooting off the MG3 AA tripod. I have setup for my 1919a4 just like it.

MG42 AA Tripod ammo can holder ideas

Is there any new or old adapter to mount a German ammo can on the MG42 AA Tripod with the MG42? Just using the 50 rd drum mag goes too quick. Thanks

Re: MG42 just picked up

Thanks. I guess 30 yrs after med school gets me a few $$$ toys. Not that this is the correct forum section, but my understanding on the 308 conversion is I can use my mg42 8mm top cover with a modified 8mm feed tray and 308 bbl. I'm just confused on which parts or all of the booster assembly is need...
