MG42 Parts Kit – WWII Era 7.62x51 NATO (.308) Original German

Description

*Newly added as of September 25, 2024.*

We have acquired a rare selection of German-manufactured MG42 parts kits and accessories. Each kit contains the exact parts from the original firearm, with no mixed or swapped components. The kit you see is the kit you get. We have sorted through each kit and made individual part numbers to ensure you receive the kit you want.

The receiver markings are primarily from Maget ('44 and '45) and Gustloff ('44), and the manufacturer will be identified in the description of each kit below.

These MG42s were converted to .308 NATO. The top covers are slightly shorter, with some marked and others unmarked. Many mechanical parts are original MG42 components. The feed trays included are specifically for .308 ammunition, not converted 8mm trays. The bolts are heavier and often marked with production numbers indicating .308.

Overall, these kits are in good condition. We’ve detailed the specifics of each kit as thoroughly as possible. Please email mg42@centerfiresystems.com with the SKU / part number and any questions regarding the kits (M-F 9/5 pm), and we will be happy to answer them. If the kit in question has been sold, we will reply as such.
