hello.i am a new member and need your help!!!i am interesting of the history of the mg42. i search photos from mg42 in action of the ww2.also of all mg42 which today exist in a collection or museum. so i want to list all mg42 what i found and then we can see which exemplars exist today, show modifications and differences.
the original idea is from my collectorfriend "searchandfind". he makes the "mg42 receiver study" and had posted in other forums too.maybe you know the mg42 receiver study.
please help!!!!
thank you very much!!!!!!!!

The SN is painted over for security reasons. You never know when some (Try a different word.) will try to claim your SN for his welded up POS. If you want the SN, PM me.

In the USA, if a cut up receiver is rewelded, it may only be rewelded to make a semi-auto gun, never a full auto machinegun, unless the person is a licensed machinegun manufacturer.

Here are 3 of mine, dfb 44 in back 2cra 44 in front these are live tranferable machine guns.I have another that I have not taken a pic of and around 8 cut up ones also. Driebien 34 and 40

pic must have been to large, sorry
