Nice Mg42 - it is simply beautiful and the details on it are stunning.

Forgot the gun case, you will need a gun crate

Yes, fully operational. I just don't know how to adjust a few things, the hopop being one of them lol.


Dogfood, yea lol, the Allies had the Germans severely out-gunned last night.

If you want to increase the ROF you need to be careful.

It's not as simple as swapping in a stronger recoil spring and cranking up the pressure.

You'd need to have an overhaul done of the internals, I'm sure the shaft is steel on this (I hope) but you would probably want everything in steel and tested.

I would have probably looked into such a project myself but $3000 on an Airsoft gun isn't practical for myself

I'll do a bit more research into that.
So far, in all of the info I've come across, no one has suggested to replace the internals. Everyone just suggests putting in a stiffer spring or some sort of buffer to reduce the length of travel.

the internal bits are mostly brass, and you're gonna want a rubber buffer between the bolt and the chamber(should have come with one on there) as brass slamming that hard won't last too long.

Yes, it came with one. The manual said to keep that piece there for firing the gun without BBs but to take it away if I wanted to fire the gun with BBs. You suggest to keep it there even when firing with BBs?

[D.Kovacs]

Brass is a soft metal, and I wouldn't want it to have hard contact with another peice if it were my gun. Think of it like a sorbo pad for an electric gun, I'm not sure if it's too thick to allow the gun to fire the bb's though.

Did some more reading on this matter. It is definitely good to have this piece, but it most likely will fall off when the gun fires(it just sits on the nozzle which goes back and forth). This piece will have to be attached to either the nozzle or the chamber. Maybe by super glue lol.
