Anyone own a MG42?

[JohnCMMA]

For anyone who owns a live or deactivated MG42. I was wondering where you can get one and how much they go for. Thanks

John, I heard a rumor from a friend of Bob Landies, (Ohio Ordnance) that he's going to be selling a live one for around $40K.......Bodes

[Von Hoth]

is that seriously what they cost? I guess the live ones are a lot more rare than the dummy ones...

[Gary Cain]

I sold mine several years ago for 20k. So yeah they are getting up there.

Well I guess im more interested in a deactivated one then. Any info on those?

[Doug Kenwright]

You can still pick them up in the U.S. for between $1000-$1500...sometimes if you are lucky it will have a real (but pooched ) receiver instead of an aluminum one..

It is really hard to find one in Canada for a good price..

..and *hint* i'm looki'in if anyones sell'in!!

I guess I better stick to japanese machine guns(when I grow up).

They have one on their site listed at $43k with a spare barrel.

I know I couldnt get anyone to come down from $40k when I wa shopping for a 42. I wound up buying a 60. But I may go ahead and get a 42 since like said they wont be getting much cheaper.

Thats if I dont find some other NFA guns I really want before hand....

Dummy guns are on ebay once in a while, or you can check with the guys on www.mg42.us They often have dummy guns for sale.

There's quite a few MG42 de-acts in England at the moment.
.. Many have just been imported from ex-soviet captured stores ...

.. For an idea of prices, .. here's one of the main importers in England ..

I have a nice MG42, although I got hosed seeing that prices are at 1500 USD. I paid 3500 Canadian for mine when the dollar was pretty bad vs the US buck, but it came with some little extras, like a Bren gun.

Hi Doug K, I can probably put you in contact with a good source for dewats.

Here is a pic.
