FRONT RECEIVER BUSHING - RHEINMETALL - NEW

New German Rheinmetall MG3 front receiver bushing.  This is perfect for any MG42, M53, MG1 or MG3.

The front receiver bushing is one of the more important parts of an MG42 style weapon. Sadly most parts kits had these torched and destroyed.  These original Rheinmetall bushings are perfectly machined and work great for re-weld or repaired shrouds; also makes a great spare part to have on hand.

These bushings are designed to be finish machined after being welded to the receiver. You'll find the internal diameter is .5mm too tight to allow a barrel bearing. After welding the Germans finish machine this area.

For those wanting an easier install please try a new U.S. made, or surplus Rheinmetall bushings.
