I size and expand a case with my single stage 9mm die set (I have aĭillon 550 setup, too) and seat a. So now, I need to make up a dummy round and see how it will chamber with a. I will start VERY low and see if the chamber will Is a question of whether the chamber will accept (and release when fired!) a loaded 359 boolit or larger to make this one work, and now there Pin gauge will just barely enter the fired case mouth. Inside with a brass brush and check the inside with my pin gauges.
So now I take a case that was fired in the gun and chamfer the mouth and clean it 358, so the bore is a good bit oversized, fairly common I dismounted the barrelĪnd dropped the boolit into the chamber, and drove it through the lubricated barrel withĪ small brass hammer. 25 ACP case permanently jammed on one end. I picked up a Lee 358-105-SWC boolit that I happened to have handy and a 1/4" steel Brass brush and a couple patches, nothing big. No problems, and I was pleasantly surprised that the trigger was decent in both SA and DA modes, and theįirst, let's clean the gun up a bit. See if it would work properly and how the accuracy was. P1 (P38 w/aluminum frame) 9mm handgun before shooting boolits in it.įirst, I had fired about 20 rounds of factory 9mm ball ammo through the pistol, just to Real-Gun.We have been having a steady flow of "9mm leading and hitting sideways" sort of threads, so I thought it might be useful to report what I just did to check out my "new" Walther Looking to sell a Deactivated gun or a collection of de-acs?

Sadly post war its been through a Nato converion to 7.62 (would be worth twice as much if in original 7.92) and some of the waffen stamps have been lost, but several remain on the gun including 3 on the body with the "SS" markings, it has also retained its rather nice MG42 bakelite butt and matching grips - strips, cocks and dry fires and comes with correct UK deactivation certificate:ĭeactivated WW2 SS marked MG42 - super rare, only one we`ve ever seen: Here we have a super rare WW2 MG42 with some small but very important marks - tiny "SS" marks alongside the waffenampt stamps - now these are way, way too small to have been faked, so this one has a more than macabre history. we`ve never been big on SS stuff here ar but we do recognise a genuinly important piece of history when one comes along, and this is one of those times. Pay attention to the news coverage and you see stacks of these still in use in the Middle East!ĭeactivated MG53 and 42 - a truly awesome performer. The MG 53 has one of the highest average rates of fire of any single-barrelled man-portable machine gun, between 1,200 and 1,500 rpm. The MG 53 has a proven record of reliability, durability, simplicity, and ease of operation, but is most notable for being able to produce a stunning volume of suppressive fire. Released in 1942, the MG42 went a bit further, with an increased rate of fire over the 34, but over heating barrels would dog the 42 for the rest of the war - always at least a 2 man crew neaded to keep it going, however, it was probably the most formidable light machine gun of WW2 (apart form the 50 cal of course.). OK, the earlier MG34 had the class and style, but man it was overly complex to produce, so when war hit, it made sense to redesign some of the trickier to produce parts and simplify the process.
