Stupid question time
How can one legally manufacture a MG ? Why was the original one cut up ? Can the new gun be sold / transfered ? What do I need to do to be able to make one legally? |

To sell for parts, after being imported as a non-transferable gun. Not to the general public, only to other SOTs. A manufacturing FFL and SOT paid up. |

If you hold an FFL type 07 or 10 AND a class 2 SOT, you can manufacture firearms including full autos on a form 1. That includes building from scratch or from a parts kit. As an SOT you can purchase machine guns from another SOT that is going out of business or not renewing their paperwork. You can purchase post-86 sample guns with a so-called "law letter" which is a letter of need written on agency letterhead stating they want to evaluate a certain gun for official use. As far as why the original was cut up, it was surplussed and import requirements mandate it be destroyed, although it's usually done in a way that you can reassemble it in a non-trivial fashion. The remanufactured MG is like any other post-86 sample at that point and can either be transferred with a law letter or when going out of business. In order to make one, you need to comply with all that ^^^ and be in a profit-driven business, not just jumping through the hoops to build your collection. |

Ok so I made major progress yesterday, and really started to get a feel for TIG welding. I welded the rear handguard mounting stud on and it came out pretty clean, I didn't grind on this at all just sandblasted it.
 Attached FileI still get occasional imperfections but that's mostly due to the scratch start (and stop) machine I'm using. It'll probably take a LOT of practice to prevent those, or maybe I can upgrade the torch to have a button. After fitting the top cover I realized I screwed up cutting the rear section off even worse than I had originally thought. Which created a large gap that I had to fill in with weld, given the circumstances this didn't turn out too bad.  Attached FileThen I used the angle grinder/abrasive disc to clean up the welds and try to reshape the stiffening ribs. Then sandblasted it. Like I have said all through the thread, not perfect but I'm happy with it for my first one.  Attached FileI think when I paint it, it's gonna look even better. The bottom had the largest gap and it really looks like one piece now. I'm glad I cut the rear section off and used the original one from the parts kit.  Attached FileThe top cover fits GREAT, better than I had envisioned. It snaps securely without binding, it does overhang just a tad from the port on the receiver but I think it'll be fine. The bolt fits perfect and moves freely (I did have to clean up just a tiny bit of weld on the inside because I couldn't keep the aluminum jig in there). The grip stick fits nicely, the selector makes the trigger and bolt function as it should (safe semi and full) when hand cycling. The only reason I didn't test fire it is I still have to weld the feed ramp in, and I have to cut the semi-auto ring off of it. And I also need to install the ejector. Since I carefully ground the head off the old rivet I'll probably just tap it back in and weld the bottom in place of the rivet head. |

You are going to need to clean up the welds around the grip/rear stock lug for both metal and wood stocks to engage. When my stamp arrives, I am going for the 3-lug barrel for my Raptor II can. |

Good news and bad news. I finished it and test fired!
Bad news is the length is off by a bit. Not the OAL, the top cover set that correctly. But the barrel sits too far back on the feed ramp so the rounds can't ride up it properly and chamber. And the stock doesn't reach the shelf on the grip lug. Basically the front needs to be lengthened and the back needs to be shortened by the same amount. Which means I have to cut the receiver back apart twice and re-weld. Not where I wanted to end up but it's not surprising that the only length I set using the RTG jig (the front) turned out to be wrong. Fuck that piece of shit jig. Anyway it's a good learning experience and I'll get it right....eventually lol  Attached File |

In the future, you'd probably be happy to have some copper plate or various sizes of copper flat bar stock available in your shop... used as a backer, it gives a wonderfully flat surface to fill against when welding. Get a piece proper for what you're trying to patch/repair, clamp it on the inside, and weld away. It would help prevent issues such as having to grind inside of the receiver.

Well shit. Just did the permanent install mod to the wood stock hardware. How do I attach the stock now to the hardware? Does the bracket need to be tapped for the two underside bolts/screws now that the bolts/screws can only be inserted from under the stock? If I have to tap the bracket and buy machine bolts. What size and pitch? Also, what wood is this before I ruin it? It has been sitting out in AZ heat for days and is oozing all sorts of colors out. Oil and cosmoline. |

Alright boys, I had a productive weekend. So I did end up cutting the receiver back apart, in two locations.
I used the dimensions posted by TheYellowThing to check my spacing, and my handgaurd mounting stud holes were about 1/8" too close to each other. (Actually .135") This brought the trunnion too close to the center of the gun which had the barrel too close to the feed ramp. I cut the front off and re-welded, again more practice with the TIG which I really needed.  Attached File Attached File Attached FileThe tacks on the end look like trash because A: I used too large of a filler rod and B: it's very hard for me to bridge a large gap like that without globbing it on.  Attached FileThis got the barrel in the right spot, however the back needed to be shortened so the top cover would fit and so the stock would reach the grip mounting lug. |

I cut the back off (yay for sharp bandsaw blades) and brought it in a little to fix the length. It's pretty obvious how much easier it is to weld when the butt joint is actually butted together lol
 Attached FileNow the top cover and receiver ejection port openings are lined up much better  Attached FileAfter all that I still had problems with the feed ramp, it's like it's too low. Which at first seemed weird because everyone told me the semi auto ramps are too tall. But what I think happened was the feed ramp kept the chamber end of the barrel from sitting low enough, which made the front "droop" a little when I welded it back on the second time. I cut the feed ramp back out and welded a patch under it then welded it back down which worked as far as feeding geometry, but then the bottom of the bolt hit the feed ramp
I reshaped the feed ramp with a dremel to get it to both feed rounds and clear the bolt, and it works!  Attached File Attached File Failed To Load Title |

Looking back, most of the problems I had were due to that piece of shit jig from RTG, not having the dimensions to start, and using the wrong feed ramp. I don't regret cutting the back off to use the parts kit rear section, I don't think that caused many problems really.
Oh I also ended up cutting the RTG jig into 3 pieces, since it didn't do shit for setting the overall length I figured it could as least serve as a weld backer (it did). NO way would I ever use their receiver section again, nor would I recommend the jig. Overall it was a great learning experience, and I'm going to build something else next (possibly RPD, possibly CETME, probably CZ26). I have a few parts kits and all the tools now, I just need time lol. Since this build didn't turn out picture perfect but it does work, I decided to paint it a crazy color. The wife and I picked out a nice glitter color, and some metallic gray to paint the MG42 with. Turns out the glitter is just glitter it doesn't cover like paint (think glitter mixed with clear coat). So I figured fuck it, I shot some neon orange on it and laid the glitter on top. The only reason you aren't seeing pics now is because it was dark last night before I finished the last coat and I wanted to let it dry and then assemble and get pics in the sunlight so the glitter pops. Hopefully this afternoon! |

I cut the back off (yay for sharp bandsaw blades) and brought it in a little to fix the length. It's pretty obvious how much easier it is to weld when the butt joint is actually butted together lol https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/389530/IMG_8274_jpg-1092203.JPG Now the top cover and receiver ejection port openings are lined up much better https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/389530/IMG_8259_jpg-1092204.JPG After all that I still had problems with the feed ramp, it's like it's too low. Which at first seemed weird because everyone told me the semi auto ramps are too tall. But what I think happened was the feed ramp kept the chamber end of the barrel from sitting low enough, which made the front "droop" a little when I welded it back on the second time. I cut the feed ramp back out and welded a patch under it then welded it back down which worked as far as feeding geometry, but then the bottom of the bolt hit the feed ramp
I reshaped the feed ramp with a dremel to get it to both feed rounds and clear the bolt, and it works! https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/389530/IMG_8276_jpg-1092211.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/389530/IMG_8281_jpg-1092212.JPG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78sqL6mzPI0
