Mp-40II

[Jeff Clark]

I have this machinegun in my collection, live and registered. I do not think many survived the war.

[Jeff Clark]

It has twin magazines, all matching serial numbers.

excellent... please post more detailed pics of the double feed system without mags

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Jeff, thanks for sharing these pics. Superb example. I have only seen a few of these in various museums in Europe. Non were as nice as this one

Is the mag change over system smooth to operate? And do you feel it offers an advantage?

Cheers, Ade.

Wow tell more about this gun. I never knew this had been made or thought of even!

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi History, these guns were designed as a counter to the Soviet 71 round, drum mag fed, 900rpm, Soviet PPSh41's.

Cheers, Ade,

Very rare indeed! The troops didn't like them much as they were a little ungainly to use, so not many were made in the first place.

I will post better pictures once I take some. The gun is heavier for sure. The magazines slide back and forth with ease.
