MG 42 Grip tutorial 3
Weld the box in place on the frame across the front and along the 2
extended tabs in the rear. Note the slot in the trigger opening for the trigger
plunger to be installed / removed.
Now in stall the internals, the thick washer goes on the right side of
the hammer. Install the hammer pin partially from the right, put in the
washer then install the hammer.
The spur on the top of the hammer will need to be ground off so the
hammer will clear the mainspring. Install the hammer spring assy and test
the unit. You will need to hold the hammer as there is no stop to prevent
the spring from popping out. Apply some oil to the parts and work them a
little to loosen them up.
The recuperator will need to be modified for the grip to fit. For the rest of the installation instructions refer to the build tutorial. Receiver Build Tutorial
