all it takes for the 42 to go from 8mm to 7.62 is change top cover
feed tray barrel bushing barrel and blast cone can be done in about 5min and yes in 7.62 it becomes a mg3 |

Yep, the powder in all that Santa Barbara is not good. It would not even work in the FAL with the gas adjusted all the way up or down.
Had some Aussie that ran like a raped ape in the same rifle. I'm going to get a collet puller and pull down all the Santa Barbara, then recharge it with some British surplus Radway Green powder (same as IMR 4895). Not having any issues with the primers, so I'll dump the old powder in the garden, recharge, re-seat, then crimp with my Lee factory crimp die.

I'm fixing to start staging ammo cans @ the front door for my annual happy time @ my happy place. Hopefully every thing I take goes bang & all my toys run fine.
4 days 3 nights all inclusive room, 3 meals per day, open bar @ night with premium booze & range. Even better my buddy who I do the seasonal beer garden for has bought once again as a bonus. |
