I Like Bunnies
I hope this is OK for this forum. I have always wanted a display MG42 (well, a real one, but thats a little out of my league).

What should I look for or avoid? What sbould I expect to pay? I want a tripod with optics, but just the gun and some accessories first.

Im sure someone here bas been down this road already.

Anyone have one to sell or trade?

Try to get an early DEWAT with some moving parts. Some of the extras will cost you almost as much as the MG, but they do look cool working or not.
 
Well, I have a very strong and personal fondness for machine guns. I was a machine gunner in my infantry days for years. I deeply understand the value of them on the battlefield, and truly effective employment of MGs is a real science to be mastered.

The Germans based thier entire Infantry tactical doctrine around the machinegun, and all other efforts were in support of the gun.

I humped an M60 in the woods and fields and got to love it. So when I vet my MG42, I want ot to be a nice one!

my mg42

when I bought this I wasnt sure if it was a dewat of a dummy rec. But it has no markings on the side. Someone went through a hell of alot of trouble to make this one..I havent had it out in a while and It's just as cool now as it was then. It all works less the trigger of course..
