I am new in this forum and first like to say Hallo to all MG08 "Fans"
I'm from Germany and collect about 15 Years all Bavarian Stuff from 1888 up to 1921 (Einwohnerwehr)
and MG08.
For information: In Germany its not allow to owen a 08 (or other full auto gun) where is possible to fire,
My example is corresponding with German law,
Its deactivated by:
closing chamber by welding and drilling 6 holes in the barrel, (to see on one of the pics)
The lock is deaktivated by removing material by grinding the area firingpin-hole and close the firingpin-hole by welding.
I'm reading some threads because the 08 in this forum, and i have to say: great Forum !!
First i'm searching for a good and original example MG 08 Trench-Mount, not more
