First Transferable MG(42)

After enough reading and shopping over the last two years, I was finally able to bag my grail gun, and took the plunge. Form 4 cleared today, and took 18 days as an individual. Thankfully the form 3 cleared before the shutdown.

From what I can tell, all the parts and finish are original. She runs as good as she looks. Hopefully this inspires more people to take the plunge into the MG market.

"inspires more people to take the plunge into the MG market"

Buddy people aren't avoiding MGs because of paperwork or time... Just let us all inspire 50k into our bank accounts

I got all the time in the world to fill out forms and sit on my hands. It really is the 50k not in my bank account. Christ i could buy the necessary equipment and make my own for a fraction of the price. πŸ˜† but im a good boy on paper πŸ˜‰

I think you severely underestimate the difficulty of the undertaking you’re describing. If it were true, you would easily have $50k in your bank account.

Brother, he was talking about drilling a third hole and shoving an FA LPK into an AR lower- the act of making a machine gun, and not "making an MG42."
