Aaron in Mohnton Pa Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 Have an odd part that came in with a bunch of other parts. Trying to identify it. It looks like a hammer for an HK sear pack but is extra long …. I am wondering if this is one that is made to be used in the MG Armory M249s that used HK packs?? Can anyone confirm?

Why? f/a only? to simulate a open bolt gun? maybe its not finished since it doesnt look like heat treat yet Edited March 22, 2022 by taylorwso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm? yes. that was MGAs first gen hammer, They broke a lot due to heat treat. They moved on to a regular hammer and transfer bar to get around the problems. BTW doesnt look heat treated either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonlmg41 Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 That's an Eric Grimes hammer most likely. It does not look like any of the MGA hammers I have. They measure 3 5/16, what you have looks slightly longer and the MGA's I have, have both notches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron in Mohnton Pa Posted March 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 @johnsonlmg41 I believe you are exactly right on that. There was a bag in with these parts that had a tag with Eric Grimes name on it. Thanks Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 The good news is there may be two guns left that aft did not capture and they would need spare hammers. Might even be some parts usable in an MGA gun since I think there may have been "collusion" between him and MGA from what I recall back in the day at the creek when I was tempted to buy one of these from Eric. Thank god that didn't happen. Could be a worthwhile goody bag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT Fish Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Wasn't he "employed" by MGA for a while? Or maybe making parts for them. I remember hearing he worked for them or was affiliated with them before "Great Machine" and the raids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in part of the mga debacle (after grimes thank god), but have since moved on. Others were burned bad. yes him and john had an affiliation, they had wilderness firearms or somthing like that. Once Mga stood up I dont think he was around long because of the MG debacle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT Fish Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 I only met Eric after MGA when he started Great Machine. And even then I only talked to him about cars. Glad I didn't know he was still building MGs at the time cuz who knows what I would have gotten mixed up in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
