Latest MP44 kit came without a safety lever.
Bought one from an on line source.
Fit and finish don't seem very concise - folded welds, filed over top - non centered alignment of detent spring.
Sharp edges.
It doesn't look quite right - compared with my late war safety (lower) - I have another safety but is not at shop.
Definitely different tooling - as lengths vary and angles are slightly different, too.
Note angle of cuts on detent spring - and surface of detent spring - real one is lower - new purchase is upper.
I don't really mind, but was sold as original NOS wartime manufacture -
Any thoughts here?
PS - anyone know the best source for correct sized steel e-fastener - ?
Cheers,
Pit.
