Identifying MG42/53 bolt

Hi,

 

Long time reader, first time poster.

 

I'm trying to ID my bolt so i could get a Anti-Bounce stabilizer, the one i have causes the rollers to be really stiff.

 

What markings should i be looking for to work out which one i need?

 

Cheers

Jake.

I have a similar problem with one bolt - the rollers are horrendously stiff w/a stabilizer. I have tried one that is flat at both ends as well as the one side "cone shaped" end and it changes nothing. Passed it to people smarter than me and no one can cipher why. Seems to just be the one bolt which IIRC is a MG3 bolt.

According to Folke M's book, the Yugo anti bolt bounce thingy is longer and is "active" regardless of what the bolt is doing. The other anti bolt bounce thingies are shorter and are "active" only when the bolt is in certain movements. Don't have the book in front of me to say which right now.

Hi,

 

Apologies it has taken so long to reply, i have only just checked.

 

I have managed to get it in now, and all is working perfectly.

As The Lone Ranger said it was the rollers being very very stiff that where causing the issues, one is okay but the other is locked in tight (When stripped).

 

Jake.
