Hi Gents.
Im hoping you can help? I acquired a MG42 last year, its in cal 762x51. The gun has no markings, proof or otherwise. Im guessing its a MG42/59 and not a MG53
The photo quality is terrible as the pic was taken in an underground vault, Is it possible to identify by the recoil booster? and the MG through this? Looks a lot different from any others ive seen,
The weapon is a fully operational, which is allowed as a collector in South Africa however is a very difficult permit to get. My licence should hopefully be granted by the end of the year, maybe then I can detail strip and photograph properly.
All help appreciated.
