I registered a few weeks ago and never received an email from them either. I bought a nice German mg 42 kit with the rear receiver cut included. I wanted to get some info on it from the forum because it came with a .308 barrel. I was thinking it was a after buy or a pieced together kit.

Probably a MG42 converted post-war to 308 by BGS. Post pics, particularly of the rearmost receiver section (left side).

I registered a month ago. Sent an email to the moderator the day I registered and a day later got an email back and registration was complete.

I don't recognize that code. Of course, the photo is upside down and I'm turning my head like a parrot to look at it.

Looks like "r c" to me. There are no mfg or date codes that I know of that match that. Or "rca" by the bird. BGS would have stamped it on that same side, toward the rear, with a bent-down-winged eagle, often lightly stamped.

It looks like the shroud has the AA sight base on it, which MG42 did but Yogo did not.

FWIW, on a computer with a mouse, hover over the image, right mouse click then select 'save image as' and you can save it to your machine. I usually pick the desktop as the destination. They you can open it up and rotate it with typical viewing software.

hopefully I loaded it back on right. . .

Looks like rea with the inspectors stamp. It's a WWII MG42 receiver.

Any chance it was converted to a MG 2 post war?

Sorry to jack the tread anna. This site is amazing, thank you for all the information on my kit. I have been buying kits because I know they will all be gone soon. When I see one with a barrel I jump a lot of the time. I picked up a nice DP 28 kit with 2 barrels recently and it was lost by UPS for over a week. It said out for delivery then it said exception. A week later they called and I picked it up at the regional office. It was re-boxed so it either opened up or was inspected. Here are some more pics that might help me find out if this is real or a fake-made to look like a MG42 kit. The Barrel to me looks non German. What do you guys think?

Not sure,, if you chose to sell one of the 308 barrels id be interested in one,, nice kit thow,

I was a long time member of that forum but after the crash a year or so ago that site lost a great deal of its material, haven't bothered participating on there in some time.

The barrel is an Austrian 7.62 NATO caliber with a WWII extension. That's fairly common. All the rest of the parts are WWII German.
