My M53/MG42
This started out as a parts kit. After devoting plenty of time and $$$$$ it is now a semi-auto shooter. It's partly Yugo M53 and partly German MG42 with a new made receiver from Brian at BRP. I just thought I'd post this for your perusal LOL. (I hope I'm posting this in the right spot.)

That's dead sexy. Thanks for sharing!
This forum needs more belt-fed shooters!

Did you paint it or blue it? Looks good. If you painted it what kind of paint?

Paint
I painted it with Dura Coat flat black. Turned out fine I think.

Great job, looks awesome. I've got an MG42 kit that's been sitting here for almost 20 years waiting to be built. Lots of inspiration here!

Go for it
It might be time to consider getting on that horse. I'm happy with mine but glad to have it finished.
