brp $5 scrap pieces

[TOM R]

got some of the $5 scrap rec. sets minimum order 5 sets so it is $25 shipped, I was hoping to get a good trunion area for my aleg arsonal crap cut rec. I think one piece will work though they use a mill to remove rivets so from a 6"+ piece only has about a few inches of good metal so now I got all the reciever parts i think, they sent some rear recievers rather intact but they grind out the rail rivets bad like the aleg kits

will try to post pics this weekend

I was just looking at those on their website. Are they original, or BRP stamps they decided not to use, so cut themselves? Does the group they send just from trunnion back, or is there a booster section?

they send rear recievers with probly about the last 1" cut off, then they give about 8" of trunion area, and 4" just behind the booster, these are rael mg 42/mg3 sections with lots of inspection stamps in trunion area, I also have a brp semi rear reciever with ratchet plate they sell for $100 as scrap I see nothing wrong with it so I am going to use it

I purchased those $5 MG42 pieces from BRP a couple of months ago.You can't go wrong for the price.I am going to use them for welding practice pieces to get the correct current adjustment before welding the receiver for the semi-auto project.MG42's use 10 guage steel but I don't know the metal content.
I also bought the BRP semi-auto rear section halves(One of my MG42 parts kits is band-saw cut in the middle (Uncut from the top cover hinge to the end of the front bearing-but missing the rear section behind the top cover hinge)for $100.

wow, either thats a real old kit or you got lucky somehow

here are the pics, I only wanted 1 good trunion section but they ran a mill up the rec tu remove the barrel door :x oh well I think i got one that is good enough

[drooling idiot]

you should try welding one of them up into a stubby "pistol" version.
cut down a $25 blaster barrel , be the first on your block with a beltfed pistol.

[TOM R]

there is a project for you when you come down to weld

Tom, One of my MG42 kits is a parts kit I purchased from International Military Antiques back in 1998.The front jacket section from the top cover hinge to the front bearing was never cut.That's the way MG42's used to come into the country(Ohio Ordnance sold them that way too).When Inter-Ordnance started importing torch-cut complete receivers and Philadelphia Ordnance was given permission by the BATF to make a 80% rear section, I.M.A. told me the BATF would no longer allow a un-cut barrel jacket to be imported because it was considered to easy to make a firing MG42.

bl, just wish I had been buying kits back then from what everyone says they were nicer and cheap low $$$$$

I could use anything forward of the front sight up to the AA spider hole.
Also, anything from the Very rear forward.......

unfortunatly what you see is what they send, no rear section where the s/n goes and only the tiny part of the nose as shown, trunion areas are almost unusable due to the demill, if you see a part you need and don't want to buy a box of crap from brp I sell these $10 each shipped priority and the shipping takes around $6 of that usualy so I ain't getttin rich off you guys and I always say these can be had from brp for this price, i only bought these for 1 trunion section for mine

I wonder if some of those other comp. that sell scrap recievers with their kits include the parts I'm looking for.?
tom, the kit I got recently Is from BRP, and other than the ground out rivets....this is the best trunnion section I've
seen yet--also the matching rear rail section....just a bandsaw cut away from being one part.

[TOM R]

didn't know that other companies sold scrap rec pieces
