Hi Guys, Have just paid up my WAF membership again so I thought I would share some pics with you all. Went to the Durham Light Infantry Museum today and found this nice FG42.

No history with it but they also had a Panzerfaust and a Nazi flag that were captured in Normandy 1944 by the DLI.Comment

I have to ask - did you lean in and cock the rifle, as I notice the charger is locked back in the last pic?
Good to know it still has some moving parts.

Interesting. That particular one is last listed as being in private hands in Switzerland. Obviously, the sources are wrong on that one!Comment

Hi Pitfighter, Ha Ha well spotted I could not resist seeing if it would cock! The action was nice and smooth. I wonder if it was ever de-activated.Originally posted by pitfighter View PostEddie -
