John Hipwell stated his MG's would have covers that open, working feed pawls. But the buttstock is welded on, the bolt face is ground so a cartridge cannot be supported, barrel pinned to receiver and welded through the chamber and the action will cycle, but the sear will not hold the bolt back, so not truly "#### and click". But close.
MG42 , MG34 , two MP44s , trying to get a sense of potential interest on CGN.

I can't imagine an MG42 that can be '#### and click'.
It may have a moving action but not '#### and click'.
From what I understand this is the deactivation that took place on my MG42.
This comes from the guy that did the deactivation.
Procedures utilized in neutralizing the gun.
- Barrel release lever welded.
- Retaining lever for trigger group welded inside and outside to the receiver.
- Welded on under side of receiver ahead of buttstock to prevent disassembly.
- Hole drilled in the barrel ahead of the chamber, a pin was put in the hole and welded in place.
- Bolt face was ground off.
- Sear notch on bolt face was ground off.
- Sear is ground off and welded to the receiver.
- The receiver was cut on the left side and the barrel was welded to the receiver, this weld is visible on the left side of the gun.

This top cover opens and the action moves with a very healthy bolt spring.
This MG42 was assembled by Gustloff in 1943 with a 'K' block Walther code ac42 P.38.
The ac42.

I would love a 12(3) STG/MP. My main concern is that the RCMP and SQ are taking all new transfers in for EVALUATION to see if the conversion is OK. If it isn’t than goodbye Historical icon- if it is they still keep it over a year because of the evaluation backlog.
There have been a few cases about this lately on CGN.
--------------------------------------------------
From stencollector,
From what I have heard, the RCMP want any CA's that were not verified by them in the first place to be sent in for re-examination. I also heard from a dealer that if they fail the inspection (conversion is not permanent enough), they are usually sent back to the dealer until the work is done.
--------------------------------------------------------
Apparently the fellow that I purchased the Erma 12(3) from recently said that Can-Am, the dealer that he originally bought the MP44 from back in 1987 had the guns inspected by the firearms authorities for the CA conversion before they were sold. (Thanks for your help Mac.)
So....hopefully an eventual transfer should not be a problem????

The Erma 12(3) CA MP44.
The Steyr (deactivated with a moving action--- with a very healthy main spring which is apparent when the bolt is retracted.)
