Hi all ben away a while nursing a horendous flu
but my friend sold me an item that really cheered me up .its de-activated unfortunatley but the only way i can own one in england with out black uniformed men bursting through my window :-)
its 1942 dated and number 183 hope you like ?

Is it possible that you could sell it to me? PLEASE I WILL PAY ANYTHING!

Like I already said through messenger... It`s a stunning piece of steel mate. I know what you mean with the law stuff it is exactly the same in Holland.

Still it is a cool piece of furniture :-) :-) :-) :-)

Hey mate :-) o.k. but the i think the customs chaps might have heart failure ? :-)

thanks faust ! yeah a real conversation peice for under the coffee table eh ?
:-)

Seriously though, I will do anything... I think it will do more good with me having it, than using it for "furniture" since im in a reenactment unit. Please once again, PLEASE i want that.

Sorry mate not for sale YET > ?
i have to play with it first :-) rest assured its going to get "Clunked" regularily

Well have all the fun you want with it, but please, if you ever want to sell it. Let me be first on your list. How much did you buy it for?

Well mate i got a great bargain (not as good as Fausts iron cross though )
theyre fetching around £600.00-£800.00 for rough and fair examples in the u.k. i paid a lot less (low hundreds) only because my friend is expecting his first son and needed cash fairly quick so i raided the piggy bank .

Rather than badgering K, check out a US DEALER. Here's a nice non-firing version for only $895.

Nathan, that's a rather interesting site for references... Thanks.

Dave:
Yeah, I thought soo too!

Oh K, forgot. Nice looking iron you have there....I assume you are single. If not, I'd love to hear the line you used on the significant other to get THAT into the house.

thanks Nate yeah i am officially single LOL
Harrison Nate's right IMA are great thier MG42's are excellent original guns but with no essential Guts so they won t work but are fabulous for display and re-enactment!

The "what to do with it next?" question was what stopped me buying a de-ac Russian DP 1928 that I saw in a shop in Bristol. That and carrying it home on the train.... Mills bombs are much more portable.

When my brother worked in Portsmouth he ferried all the guns to the D-Day tapestry museum on Southsea Common in the boot of his car. Spent most of the journey practising what he was going to say to the Old Bill if he got pulled over

Heck, buy the functional (semi-auto) MG34 at the link below. You couldn't afford to shoot it full auto anyway...
1,500 rpm @ +/- .20 a round equals about $300 a minute.

Drder you are absolutley right i just like my militaria and love german stuff so when this came up so cheap i had to grab it :-) like my Samurai Armour it'll never ever fit me but its nice :-) yup i'm bonkers i know !
Shaun has a great idea harrison ! Mg-34's were more numerous too it might fit in better with your area and period of re-enacting ?

hmmm, i was wondering what to do if i won the lotto.

i can remember being a kid and getting mad because all the kids in the neightbour hood had these crazy cap guns and not me, i sure would have impressed them with an mg 42, youve got great friends lol

Frank

Whoa! Now that's one gun I'll surely treasure Now don't start shooting neighbors ok? :-) :-) :-) :-)
