Yugoslavian/Neanderthal Armory MG42/SA53 Semi-Automatic Belt Fed Rifle with Anti-Aircraft Pedestal Mount

Produced from a combination of original parts and a modern production semi-automatic only receiver and trigger group. Flip up blade front and tangent rear sight mounted on the barrel shroud, with the flared recoil booster and a spring loaded folding bipod attached to the underside. The left side of the receiver is marked "NEANDERTHAL ARMORY LEHI, UT. SA53 #010 CAL-7.92". The Yugoslavian crest is marked on the feed tray cover along with the original "R-55591". Ribbed plastic grip panels, with a ribbed, wire reinforced wood butt. Includes a leather sling and a large tan painted naval/vehicle pedestal anti-aircraft mount, which mounts two MG42 style machine guns side by side and two ammunition cans.

ConditionVery fine as assembled in semi-automatic configuration, retains 95% plus of the matte black finish and 90% of the matte grey phosphate finish on the loading tray cover and muzzle device with some scattered light wear. The grips and stock are very good with some scattered minor handling marks, primarily on the stock. Mechanically fine. The pedestal mount is fair, with some mounting hardware for the right gun absent, and some wear and rust appropriate to age and use.
