All,

I am in need of a few 1942 or undated bpr/CRA WaA11 parts for a MG42 I just bought. I am in need of a bakelite version of the butstock and a bipod.

I have been collecting for years and have an extensive collection of MG34, MP44, MP40, MP38/42, G43 parts available for trade. Or cash.

thanks

greg

3-the early bipod

4-the bakelit buttstock from 1942 to feb 43

5-early buffer (2mm bigger diameter than the new one. (from 42 to nov 42)

THANKS for showing that great info....

Thanks 42rocker

Fab--Fab-ulous! Thanks for all this.You keep adding to the info here,it is much appreciated. Most of us are doing well if we can recognise German versus Yugo parts,you have dug into another dimention of research.It is interesting to see the changes that were made,either to make the gun easier to use,like the cocking handle,or to make it easier to produce.Thanks again! ---bil

Thanks for the quick reply. I thought I would take a chance in asking here on this forum as I percieved that many of the early guns would have been "used up" in the WW2 and collectors would have some parts.


My CRA is a 51XX block no letter coded, so a very early gun, but with some Waffenmeister wartime upgrades i.e. Charging handle/ratchet and bipod. I will attach some photos ASAP.

NOW THIS, Gentlemen, is a fine example of a useful post.

i love to nerd out about the early vs late parts i have the first model fh

Excellent post fab.
