1919a4 Information needed

I got Ohio Ordnance semi auto parts. Sorry no pictures yet. When I'm looking at cartridge stops how do I know if they are Israili? Or will any 7.62 stops work?

A note of caution for anyone contemplating a similar operation on a .30" Cal MG.

In British Service, the Barrel jacket (Shroud) was also 'swetted' to the threaded portion of the Trunnion Block. With soft solder. It was part of any routine inspection procedure, to grip the jacket by hand. & twist left & right, to see if there was any looseness.

If this as the case, it was removed & cleaned up. Then re-tinned with solder. & the same process applied to the trunnion block threads.

Both areas reheated, & then screwed up correctly. retention screw refitted & staked in place. If there was 'overturn/ underturn' of the jacket. It was screwed up as described. & a new hole drilled & countersunk in the jacket. To align with the Threaded hole in the trunnion block. Screw refitted & staked. If it was discovered on any gun, that refitting the jacket. resulted in the jacket butting up & over/ under turning so that only HALF of the screw hole was observed. & new jacket, or exchanging used jackets until a suitable one was correctly aligned. Was also acceptable. If there was play in a loose jacket, this would obviously result in poor accuracy!

Ken--

Keep in mind that Ohio Ordnance semi auto parts are cut differently for their proprietary semi-auto Rightside plate. They may not fit the "KMP" type semi auto rightside plate. The Israeli cartridge stops can be easily identified by a Hebrew character and "7.62" stamps on them. I will see if I can find some pics of them.

Please note Israeli right rear cartridge stop attached to right side plate.
