Product Description
Original Items:
Includes:
- 1 x Yugo production M53 barrel
- Condition: Low Grade: Useable but lots of wear on locking surfaces and bore, and surface blems on exterior generally as pictured.
- Caliber: 8mm Mauser (7.92mm x 57)
- Compatibility: All MG42, M53, and variant platforms.
- Note: 8mm MG42 setups require 8mm Mauser pattern bolts. MG3 or 42/59 7.62 NATO bolt heads will not properly extract 8mm Mauser cartridges while 8mm Mauser pattern bolts will extract both calibers.
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR HEADSPACE:
For 8mm Mauser, we inspect each barrel with standard "GO" and "NO-GO" 8mm Mauser gauges. However, it's good practice with any MG42 to verify headspace with the specific bolt, barrel, and type of ammo you are using. Headspace that is too short can result in very dangerous out-of-battery detonations.
Also, please contact us at 678-425-9585 or info@brpguns.com for assistance. You can also mail your bolt to us for specific gauging with a barrel. We currently offer this service at no charge.
