CONDITION: Overall condition and appearance in in the mid 80s with some spots of old corrosion showing here and there. Handgrip is excellent, light brown. Buttstock has two longitudinal cracks with what appears to be orig German field repair from soldering wires around stock to hold it together. There are two sets of buttstock reinforcement wires which maintain the stock as serviceable. Bore in both bbls is strong and although uncleaned, looks as though it will come out shiny and bright. Muzzle and booster also in good condition, and although uncleaned, should clean up well. Mechanism parts are in fine condition. Lots of life left in this MG-42. Evidence of condition, combined with double wire field repair to buttstock indicates that this gun “was there”. 4-40504 JWK2 (25,000-30,000)
