You did not mention that the replacement part has been cut for actuating a F/A sear. That could become something of an issue down the road.
No thank you sir, for shopping from me. Trying to ship as quickly as possibleIt arrived yesterday. That was fast. It fits good. Thank you
I would grind the FA cam off to make it "not readily convertible".
I was wondering if someone would mention the FA sear trip on the bolt. Having that in the rifle is absolutely no different than rebuilding an AK parts kit onto a semi auto receiver using the original unmodified bolt or putting a FA capable bolt in your HK 91/93/94 (which again has a semi auto receiver). It's perfectly legal. However, once you cut the FA lever slot in the receiver, now we have problems.
Great pics and nice "after-shoot" analysis, interesting reading.
He passed on and the family sold the rifle but I was given all of the ammunition including German wartime, Czech, East German and reloads made from 30.06 and .308 cases. I was also given components including empty fired cases and formed cases that were ready to reload as well as Hornady and Speer 125gr bullets. Bear with me, as I am going somewhere with all of this. I know that the reloads must have worked in his original MP44 even though the shoulder profile is quite different than the factory steel case stuff. I know this because I have a large bag of fired brass that looks just like the loaded rounds. Now, my question was....would it work in my rifle? Why no, no it won't. Out of 30 rounds I tried (ten rounds per magazine each time), only 13 would allow the bolt to close.
Careful with casings made from 8x57, 30-06, Win270 and 308 brass! If the necks have not been reamed to .321-.322 after forming, inserting the 125gr bullet will expand the neck to where it will prevent the round form chambering completely. This results in excessive downward pressure around the slot underneath the receiver (causing the bolt to break through the slot), damage to the front edge of the locking block and damage to the rear locking edge of the bolt.

..pain in the arse part of the conversion process along with annealing. Annealing really should be done, probably best before the reforming.

I am not sure I am interested in shooting the old steel cased ammo in my rifle, but it appears you have had success with them.
Nothing wrong with the E. German surplus ammo, Just do proper corrosive cleanup. I wish I would have purchased more of this ammo 10 years ago when it was available.
