Is the price of these kits really $1000+ with out recevers? 3 or 4 cut recervers $800? GEEEZZZZZZZZZZ.

or get an M53 kit from centerfire and a rear receiver section from IMA and you've got a project for about $500.

 

[TEXSUN1950]

M53/mg42 kits

about a month ago Southern Ohio gun (SOG) still had M53 kits for 250.00 and sometimes there was a mixture of post war yugo and war time german parts. Thats the cheapest kits out there.

or get an M53 kit from centerfire and a rear receiver section from IMA and you've got a project for about $500.

You will still be missing the "barrel guide sleeve" (pressed in front section that the booster/flash hider screws into) and the trunnion (camming piece) part of the receiver.

The total price (if you can find it all) would be:

Centerfire kit - $350
IMA rear reciever pieces - $135
barrel guide sleeve - $40
trunnion piece - $150
Ratchet plate - $35
SA conversion parts - $300

For a total of $910. Note that all these prices are rising, sometimes daily. The list does not include rivets, tools or misc. supplies.

For that you wind up with a FIVE cut receiver. That is five welds you have to make.

For about $1600 ($1300 for the kit with receiver + $300 for conversion parts), you get everything you need, including a four (or if you are VERY lucky, three) cut reciever, if you buy one of the kits on auction sites.

Note that I am not selling recievers or kits and am actively scrounging for parts.
(I wish I was selling kits. REALLY good kits with receivers were selling for $550 the beginning of March, until they ran out).

Hmm.

You are missing three trunnion sections and need to do some rust removal

The one next to the bottom, is that a BRP rear section?

 

[none123]

The one next to the bottom, is that a BRP rear section?

yep it is. I picked it up last summer

 

[Cpt_Kirks]

I'll be damned. They don't include the trunnion section.

I hadn't noticed that.

 

[TEXSUN1950]

See misc ad board

 

[DrSmeller]

I have to think BRP will start up their 80% 42 receivers at some point in the future. Those are zero cut zero weld and people will pay a good buck for them. Or just sell 100% receivers.

 

[Cpt_Kirks]

I think a lot of people like having WWII receivers. I know I do.
