Jeff,

Thanks for posting these excellent detailed closeups of your MP-40II feed system. Is your gun made by Steyr?
Have you posted pictures of your collection a few years ago? Possibly on another site? I seem to remember seeing one in a private collection before but don't recall the details.
Here is a picture of the only one I've seen in person - at the Aberdeen museum.
