www.MG42.us

Several years ago a stocked up on a lot of MG42 related stuff with the intent to build out a working semi-auto rifle and a few dummy rifles, but circumstances have seen fit to suggest that it is time for me let this project go. I plan to list all of these for sale on gunbroker in a couple of weeks, but since this forum gave birth to my interest and knowledge with the MG42 platform, I wanted to offer these items up to this community first.

I am not interested in trades at this time, so just monetary sales only. The items/groups for sale are listed below with the asking price NOT including shipping. I have listed the approximated shipping weight, but actual shipping costs will be calculated based on the destination zip code. The two shipping methods I have available to use are USPS and UPS, and I will use whichever courier the buyer prefers. I live the DFW metroplex area and am open to meeting in person to complete a transaction in lieu of shipping (saves me the hassle of boxing up these heavy items!). All pictures with descriptions are below the item listings. There is one firearm item for sale here, and as such it must be shipped thru an FFL. I will sweeten the pot with discounts if you buy multiple items!

I received the belts and manuals I bought here safe and sound. Very fast shipping and was well packed...couldn't believe I got them already! Those manuals John makes are really nice too BTW. I'm going to have to order the rest now

Thanks again.
