project
Posted: 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.
