FG42 Dummy Display Rifle With Functional Bolt
Description: Replica Item: The FG 42 (Fallschirmjägergewehr 42, "paratrooper rifle 42") is a selective-fire 7.92×57mm Mauser automatic rifle produced in Germany during World War II. The weapon was developed specifically for the use of the Fallschirmjäger airborne infantry in 1942 and was used in very limited numbers until the end of the war. It combined the characteristics and firepower of a light machine gun in a lightweight form slightly shorter (but considerably bulkier and heavier) than the standard-issue Karabiner 98k bolt-action infantry rifle. Considered one of the most advanced weapon designs of World War II, the FG 42 influenced post-war small arms development, and many features of its design, such as general shape, stock style, gas-rotating bolt operation (itself copied from the Lewis gun) and sheet metal and plastic construction were copied by the US Army when they developed the M60 machine gun. Japanese company Shoei manufactures the highest quality most accurate machine gun replicas on the market today. However, their FG42 has been out of production for many years. When it original came to the market the retail value was $2500. Now that no more are available these have become nearly impossible to find and deactivated original FG42 are never encountered and the one... no transfer required.
