Thanks again to Jeff Baker for holding this for me for a month before I got enough to pay for it.

This is a size comparison vs a G36 with E length barrel plus a 2cm barrel extension with fully extended stock.

I put these red dots on the iron sights, would this be allowed? Since the Germans could of just got red paint.

If the WWII airsofters have a table at TAC12, I would like to be there with this.
Also, if anyone has any manuals/instructions on how to disassemble and maintain this thing, send it my way.

Very Nice!

To answer your question.
Thats the AA rear sight finger, if you'd ever put the anti-aircraft spider sights on the front.

I see, that also answers what the hole towards to front of the barrel is for lol (to plug in the AA sight).

If anyone knows where to get a sling for the 42, please let me know.

If you scroll down, you'll see a few. MilitaryTour is a great place.
For some reason, I have trouble loading the page.

That is one sexy beast!

You can try asking militarytour.
I believe they have them

Very very nice, might I ask whats the price tag on such a weapon? And does it replicate the real ones insane RPM?

Very nice.

Please do a review. Hopefully one on how it performs in the field.

Yea, seems like I would have to contact them to buy it. I can load their website fine, but the page for the slings are showing error.

This was $2700 before taxes, free shipping. It does not have a high rate of fire, but I plan to have it modded to 1200RPM like the real one.

Hoping to be able to make it out to the April game. Will have a review after that.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

Holy fuck that thing is huge. Let's mount it on my car. lol.

lmao you got a gun case this big? How will you take it back and work on it?

yea, I'm thinking about that right now. I guess we'll have to figure something out tomorrow. How much does it weigh? What did it come in by?

Custom gun case? I'm sure you can get a leather one custom made for sex appeal.

As for the RPM. If you get the real (or close to it) RPM I will pay to see it. I love the MG42. Such a reliable weapon and even today it would still boast effectiveness.

Meh...just means a longer walk to go around it... :wink:

But seriously, nice effing piece of kit mate, very nice indeed. My first two cars cost considerably less than that. Together.

Tom, the gun is 18lbs, if not more. Came in its own box, so if you got nothing else, take that. Also, you gotta take the air rig, so maybe another few lbs.

Cobalt Caliber, it should be ready for a WWII game in april. Come out to see it lol. I believe the rules are not tight about WWII uniform and weapons (probably can show up in flecktarn with an AK or something along those lines)

Yorkie, you must of bought those two cars way back in the past lol.
