Mad Machinist Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Title says it all....just picked up another MP40 tube (Philly Ord) and trunion and magwell......so time to piece together something fun. Was thinking an MP41 shooter clone.....as far as the MP40 lower tray....a trashed one is fine....really only need the cup from one, Tray is what I refer to a stripped lower receiver....Thanks TSMGguy for asking for clarification!

Mad Machinist Posted October 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 What's an MP40 "tray"?The stripped metal part of the lower that the receiver fits in...... grip and hand guards attach to it.....I just always called it a tray.....probably not accurate...

TSMGguy Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 I understand now. To me a 'tray' as it pertains to a machine gun is the feed tray, on which an ammo belt moves toward the gun's breech. In the US Army in my day, MGs could also have a tray on the gun's vehicle mount. It was here that a 7.62mm or .50 caliber ammo box rested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
