I know this is a post for /k/ but I can not get this stupid rifle put together. My entire life I wanted an MG42 in 8mm mauser just like my grandfather used in WW2, before immigrating to America. Well I buy this damn "Parts Kit" and the thing does not go together at all, it looks to be cut in half ? To make matters worse I cut my finger on the metal piece that is cut in half it was sharp. I thought I would get this UPS and it would just "Snap Together" I should have bought a new watch for the 58 links.

Buy the missing parts.

You gave a trigger group, therefore you have a gun, legally. All other parts aren't considered gun.

the receiver is the part that matters. This really should be a /k/ thread since only retards lurk here

I get you, but you're not going to find gun experts here. Only link experts.

are you in the US? You can answer, it's not against the law in the US to buy a machine gun with a destroyed receiver and plugged barrel.

yes

very well.

the legal option is to buy an existing model in the US that was in service and has been maintained since it was built.

with relatively new guns like the M-16 A1 service rifle this is about $30,000. For wwii models you're looking at over $100k for a working version, and you can't have any felonies on your record. The FBI has to sign off on you owning it.

for illegal options I refer you to /k/ or the FBI because it's actually a crime to tell you how to fix that kit.

You have to get the lower receiver from an actual gun dealer. You have most of a gun right now.

you think fbi is gonna allow you to own a working model? no way, they probably gonna check everything on you and if they see 4chan in your history thats it

much cheaper to model a lower receiver than buy a compliant grandfathered one.

buy a MG3, which is effectively a MG42 facelift and still in service and keep the parts as collectors item

best advice imo

display it with modeled parts. It'll look badass and be perfectly legal. Just can't shoot it.
