MG42 Receiver Whcih manufacturer is more seeked?

[Patsy57]

AR or CRA marked MG41 more collectable or sought after providing condition is equally good and both are three cut perfect.

Well I answered my own question they both are made during WW2, one was used in WW2 and the CRA was used post war. The WW2 used one is great, the Post war WW2 manufactured CRA is plasma cut so also in perfect condition. I am going to part with the CRA post war plasma cut one once I have a price set for it.

Thanks!

Of course the comment of any nice 3 cut is great.
Check out the following thread and hopefully you can get a lot more info and amounts made etc.

Of the 2 guns all being equal I would say the ar "Mauser is more collectorable because they made far fewer than cra "Maget"
ar production approx 54,000, cra production approx 165,000. Jonathan.

When the next question is where were the shipments sent and how many were captured and not destroyed.

But the number made is a good starting point for this. Thanks for checking.
