Thanks for posting the close up pics. Interesting to see an Italian Beretta MG42/59 variant up close. Very interesting flash hider for sure.

Im about 3 months away from my permit. Once I have the permit this MG will come home, when that happens I will be able to detail strip the weapon and take decent photo's. I think we also going to have to put a youtube video up.

Looking forward to seeing them and learning more about this fine MG42 variant. Thanks again for posting the pics.

"PB" may well stand for "Pietro Beretta"

A quick update, my permit for a full auto mg has been approved under our laws. This means I now wait a couple of weeks for the police to print a card, once I receive this card I can collect the weapon and bring it home.

Should be soon now. Then I can take some decent HD pictures. I cant wait to get to the shooting range!

I had a chap at the local war museum look at my weapon, according to him it is a Beretta made MG42/59 which is exactly what others have said. I now feel confident that this is the case.

I shall be posting soon again!

So, she is home. Its taken over a year to get the licence.

I have not had a chance to get to the range yet but I did ask my mate to bring his MG3 around for a photo shoot.

Took a few pics.

Sorry all, I tried editing the photo's by rotating them on photobucket, however when I post the link they appear like this. If a mod knows how to rectify this situation please assist. Thanks
