    FG42 Model Gun

    This is probably not the forum to post this, I am thrilled with the Shoei Type 1 FG42. I never have seen a real one in the flesh and I am too old to get on a waiting list for one of the semi-autos being made. This model is amazing!

    Very cool! Such a Star Wars looking weapon. Where did you get this and how much did it cost?

      Sarco Inc. They haven’t been made for years. I believe this one is dated around 1994. around $1600.

          Very nice. I have one of each model of the FG-42 and I was fortunate to have been the winning bidder when these came up at an auction a few years ago. These were made by Shoei not Sarco, but I think Sarco was one of the importers. For reasons that I don't understand Shoei only made about 1200 of the first model and 2000 of the second one. Shoei also has made replicas of the Japanese Type 100 but I believe only 500 of those were made.

            Yes, I was surprised to see Sarco selling the Shoei Type 1 FG42. Apparently they have some new old stock of these. I was really surprised when I ordered it and they actually had it! Being a Japanese collector first, I always wanted the Type 100, but never found one.

              Peter, can you post pictures of both models? I bet they look great for purposes of display. Very cool.

                  Hi George, thanks again for the heads up on Sarco. I checked them out and they confirmed that they had FG42 Model 1 in stock. I placed my order already.

                    Seems to work fine on both versions.

                      Here are my two replica FG-42s. I think they both look pretty good. Far cheaper than selling my soul to own a real one!

                          Awesome looking pair there. I will use the neat handbook and take the fire control group out and see why the safety doesn’t work.
