Manufactured using a combination of original military and new manufactured parts, this is a semi-automatic copy of the infamous MG42. The MG42 is one of the most iconic weapons of World War II. Known for its high rate of fire, it quickly became known as "Hitler's Buzzsaw". After World War II, the MG42 continues to see active combat in conflicts across the globe. Fitted with a conical recoil booster/flash hider, flip up blade front and tangent rear sights, metal bipod, trigger pack with bakelite grips, and wooden buttstock. Includes a wooden case, extra belts, canvas clip on brass casing catcher, canvas cover, a cleaning kit, 7.62x51 conversion parts, two "HK" marked 7.62x51 drums, four 8mm Mauser drums in two drum carriers, a set of anti-aircraft sights, and two 7.62x51 barrels in barrel sheaths.

Very fine, retaining 90% blue/black finish with limited handling marks, dings and scratches, and a couple small patches of surface oxidation. Stock is fine with a couple cracks and wire reinforcing wrap. Mechanically excellent. Accessories are all very good to very fine.
