This is an excellent semi-automatic copy of the classic Russian SG-43 medium machine gun, that is mounted on a two-wheeled mount. These weapons were based on the very successful 1910 Maxim design and this example uses a mixture ofSoviet and Polish manufactured surplus parts mated to an American made, semi-automatic (only) receiver. The original version of this Russian MG was used extensively throughout World War II and later as seen in many World War II newsreels and movies. The left side of the receiver is marked "WISE LITE ARMS BOYD TEXAS/MOD. SA43" along with the caliber and serial number. It features a post front sight and folding ladder rear sights, with "6/7.62 mm/CKM-wz.43/1955r/RK-825" marked on the Polish top cover, original style spade-type grips, with butterfly trigger and spade cocking handle. The wheeled mount allows the weapon to rotate from side to side as well elevate, and comes with the integral front metal shield. Matching numbers have been added to several parts with electric pencil. It is complete with six (6) ammunition cans and five (5) non-disengrating metal ammunition belts. Each belt holds approximately 100 rounds and all are in like new condition.

Excellent, with 97% of the blue finish, showing a few light handling marks overall. The carriage shows bright wear on the wheels and scattered handling marks. Mechanically fine.
