Can someone tell me why there is a "second serial number" on bottom of the barrel? Would that probably be of a reused barrel which was just serialized to the new action?
The disassembly (/bolt removal) is so incredibly easy on the MP41, I'd call it the easiest automatic gun to remove the bolt. The spring tension is very small when the bolt is closed, hence the removal can be done with only one hand what was a huge surprise to me!
Aside of this the MP41 is of a very simple design with just a fire selector next to the trigger, and the safety being on the bolt handle (note the red colour on the last picture showing that it's now in firing mode!) and the third possibility to do something (aside of the trigger, of course) being the magazine removal button. And the wooden stock feels much better in hands and on the cheek than the MP40 folding stock.
I have overpainted the first digits of the serial number, and since there are 11 pictures I will have to seperate it into two posts.
