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

Re: MG42/59 Identification
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"
Re: MG42/59 Identification
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.

Re: MG42/59 Identification
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
