dantheman Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 I am in need of the long/rearmost bolt for the bakelite on an MP40 as well as the nut. Does anyone have a source? Tried Bergflak but he does not have any parts. Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekraps Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 Wow, if Bergflak is out, then there is not doubt the world is nearing its end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheman Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Thanks everyone. Bergflak's response to my email was "sorry all out of parts". I think the only option at this point is history arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their site doesn't have any contact info and the contact us page does not work. Seems kinda sketchy but if they list what i need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered from them once before......was not really pleased with the product, plust it took quite a while to show up....ordered a reproduction forearm and it was kinda cheesy at best. Call me at the shop (Macon Armory) Monday and remind me....I'm peicing together/making the parts for a franken kit that will eventually get built into a shooter.....I'll pull the screws on one of mine measure and see if I have any.....

Thank you, very generous. I ended up finding the screws and hardware I needed. I ended up taking a chance and ordered a front “Bakelite” resting bar from them, and like you say, it’s kinda cheesy. It will work but there was zero communication. It just showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can tell, History Arms resting bar is not made of Bakelite, but of some soft plastic. It'll warp and melt of the barrel get hot enough.

colt21a Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Might be the same place i bought some items from when i had MP-40S.AND WHAT THEY SENT I WAS NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL. SOME LOOK LIKE BLOW MOLD STUFF.And colors off on some grips i bought also.AT that point i was so ticked off. i was not going to return all. and just sold some other items and threw it in the box for the customers. after enough decades dealing with this stuff you remember you run out of time playing silly games with these people...and some of the h.s. some market and sell. its always best at any time to try and get original, {even if its way more dough} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pay up and get the real stuff. I pussy footed around on MP 38/u40 magazine pouches and it cost me dearly. I know have one Luftwaffe set ($2400) and the right pouch for another ($850). I know reproductions are many, but there is just something cool about having the real deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply sharing information. You're probably right, though, they're likely re-pops. On the flip side, for 25 bux, it may be worth a shot.
