finally got a bit more done on the 42 project

Squared up the rear of the barrel shroud.
Image

Also carefully cut the torched barrel bushing right at the join weld

Image

This allowed me to knock the remainder out without grinding the snot out of it

Image

You can see the rear of the torched bushing sitting in the shroud after being tapped out.

Soon the big order will go in for the rest of the parts I need then we will see some progress.

ok for don and others who are wondering what i am up to.

I am building a semi automatic version of the german mg-42 machine gun
from a parts kit I purchased from SOG

Heres what is in the parts kit
Image

I am using a 80% receiver blank to complete it along with other parts available online. the build has to follow specific protocols to be legal.

on completion it will be a belt fed semi auto chambered in 8-mm mauser.

and look like this
