I have a couple stupid questions for the real steel experts out there.
1) On the MG 42 the cross bolt located on the grips. Is this a safety switch? or fire selector? Are real MG42's full auto only?
2) On the MG34, What position is the cocking handle in when the gun is ready to fire? All the way forward?
Thanks for any help

1. Thats a saftey, mg 42s were full auto only.
2. all the way foreward, (im almost 100% sure, been about 6 years since i fired one)

Thanks Gordak, I originally thought that the MG42 cross bolt was a fire selector, Glad to know it's not since that means my MG42 aeg is more realistic than I first thought.
I've had a MG34 parts kit in mid AEG conversion for the last year that I finally got around to working on. I was trying to figure out where to position the bolt handle. If you move it all the way forward it locks into a tab that would require two hands to cock the bolt. (one to hold the release while the other pulls it back. I'm guessing this is a lock to keep the bolt from moving back during transport.

Gordak since were on the subject of MG42 parts i have a question about the 42 do you think i could replace the cocking handle of the Shoei with a real steal one? I was looking at pictures on the net from an American retailer that supplies MG parts and the cocking handle for the real gun looks identical to the Shoei one what do you think? ps sorry for hijacking your thread shimmty. real steal one Shoei one part #16  |

Did yourrs break?? The original would be fine for looks, but the Hardness of the real steel would eat up your aluminium receiver fast! I dont recomend it!
