MP 40 with papers

Good News.

Yes, the following FBP parts are interchangeable with the MP40:
- Complete bolt and spring tube.
- Barrel w/two barrel half moon retainers
- Barrel Nut
- Barrel locking shim
- Front Sling mount
Sadly, the magazines are not interchangeable.
I made a suppressed barrel assembly for my MP40 once from a complete FBP unit.

The trunnion is the same also, but it is a bear to get apart from the receiver tube...It's brazed in place...

(The barrel in the pic is from a GB auction and shows a bayonet lug/sleeve on the barrel...most don't have the lug/sleeve)
