Hello,
I just registered to say a few things;
First I should thank you for this thread, it is the only review I could find on this MG(I own this one myself obviously). I had to change the spring, but since the center guide is stuck in the upper part of the gearbox I had to open it. I got stuck at one point and was only able to continue when I found this thread and learnt about the little spring which you mentioned in the pistolgrip.
Secondly, the one I have is the AGM MG42, which is actually the same gun from the same factory as the S&T/Matrix MG42, just with a different brand on the box. I actually wanted to buy the gun from Evike, but then they decided not to ship abroad.
Unaltered the gun shoots 420fps, too much for fields around here(Belgium).
Also, be careful with the externals, they are rather fragile. The feedingtray on mine arrived with damaged hooks and had to be replaced(now an expensive hardened steel feeding tray with a ten year warantee on it). The aluminium in which the gun is made is flimsy and bends quickly.
I havent been able to take it to a game myself but have already heard from other users about a number of smaller problems with this gun, like batteries in the drummag loosening and the mag no longer feeding when firing on the move because of it.
I hope you dont mind digging here for this purpose.
