project

Post by Grubber » Tue Sep 11, 2007 10:55 am

Since we don't have a specific forum for projects and building I am posting this here.

The first part of the puzzle has arrived

the parts kit destined to become a semi auto m-52 (mg 42)

all parts are accounted for and the barrel is in excellent shape

5 more pieces needed to buy

1 barrel bushing repair piece. (this is one of the things torched in a de mil)

I think I will be getting one from weaponeer forum for 105$

2 80% receiver from coldsteel solutions. 350$

3 a tig welder from harbor freight about 200$ on sale

4 ratchet plate 20$ from weaponeer

5 buffer cam tabs (I may just make these myself)

as you can see this isn't a cheap project but will be well worth it I think.

I will post updates to this post whenever I make progress on the build

or acquire a new bit to add to it. And will try to be in depth on the how I did it in case any of you want to give it a go.

You are right Duncan, I will be expecting lots of nice pics. If the Laws were different here, I would be doing a project like that.
