MkB42 (H) and Stg 45

Folks when you can not afford the real thing like me do like I do and make one. I have wanted a Mkb 42 (H) for a long time and while I was stationed in Germany was always on the lookout for one or parts. Never did find a gun I could afford but I did pickup some parts. After I retired back to Tucson last year I took out my MP43/1 (early gun) kit that I had purchased years ago and started to convert it to a Mkb 42 (H). It did not take long as they are very similar in most areas. The front sight, gas tube extension/plug and gas block were added, the MP43/1 gas piston/bolt carrier was used with the bolt and the stock was modified a little. The big issue is the FCG. Since the Mkb 42 (H) fires from an open bolt that all had to be changed which is why the MP43/1 gas piston and bolt were used. I put in three denials when I put the receiver back together and there is an additional two on the pistol grip assembly to keep any full auto parts from being installed. I am at the end state on getting the newly designed hammer and sear units installed. Once they are in and working I will be content. I do need to get a new barrel made or find another MP43/1 barrel as mine was a German deactivated one. Section cut out instead of the holes drilled. The MP43/1 also had the long barrel thread protector. I have my Stg 45 (M) or geraete 06 (H) almost complete. It is not a 100% copy because of the grips not being stamped into the pistol grip but it looks very good and the action is the same. I will try to attach some photographs Harry

Those are great looking.
Well done, nice work

Hello there,


Is anyone have encountered this type of stock ? It is in solid piece of oak. There is a notch, kind of ventilation (maybe didactic ?) to let the spring visible.

Fits perfectly my Dittrich MKb 42 (H).

Seems I recall seeing a stock similar to this in a picture in the book “the German assault rifle 1935-45”. Haenel-Schmeisser MK 42 prototype. Page 16
Edit: yours is more exaggerated in its rear contours. Don’t think the spring should be exposed. Nice!

Thanks ! I saw the same picture on Peter Senich's German Sniper. Possibly a reproduction, but well made.

I was searching for k98k & MP accessories and found this stock... seller said it was on his family since years and his father was deployed in Germany during the Cold War.

Sold it to me for wood price... Very comfortable to shoot and I was surprised it was made in oak... and not in walnut.

I attached two more pictures
