Harvington Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 I'm looking to purchase a deac MG42 and have come across a decent looking Mager swd NC weapon. I've heard that some MG42s are a mix of WWII and post war (Yugo MG53) parts, but I don't know a lot about that. So I'd be grateful to hear anyone's thoughts on the attached pictures - does anything look out of place, i.e., clearly a post-war Yugo part? I'll certainly check the anti-aircraft sight mount, the barrel change door screw, and the profile of the butt stock. As an aside, I'm assuming that the small numbers on various elements are part numbers, but let me know if not ... I don't believe that there are serial numbers in these locations. Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRMCII Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Yugo parts are specifically marked in most cases with a multi-digit inventory number similar to post-war MG1/3 German mfg parts and also commonly, a small square stamp with a 2 in it. Unmarked parts need to be identified by their particular mfg quirks.No evident Yugo parts in any of those pictured that I can see from a quick look.
