serial #03930, 8 mm Mauser, 19 1/2" barrel with a bright excellent bore. Gun is "fzs" coded, manufactured by Kreighoff in Suhl. Gun rates very fine overall with 98% original barrel blue. Gas collar, front sight collar, receiver and trigger group retain a gray-green phosphate style finish. Trigger housing, trigger, bolt, magazine cover plate, front sight collar, front sight, and recoil spring guide are all "fzs" marked. Charging handle, gas piston and buttstock are all numbered "3930"; the bolt body is period re-numbered "3930" with characters (font style) which duplicates its original military numbering, making us believe it to be a period marking (see photo). Barrel is contractor marked "hks" with firing proofs and appears to be original equipment in all respects. Laminated walnut buttstock and walnut forend rate very good plus, near excellent, the buttstock showing a very minor, repairable chip at its toe and a couple very minor drying cracks. The forend has a couple small drying cracks which follow the grain of the wood, at its top right rear and front right, and a smaller one at top left rear. The brown mottled resin pistol grip rates excellent. The gun has only two detractors and they are very small: the safety selector is missing; and the extreme rear of the receiver tube -beneath the stock-was cut at some point, likely to get the gun back home in a duffel bag, but the original piece was retained and reattached by an extremely professional weld. It cannot be detected with the stock on the gun. Neither of these small issues will affect the guns function. The flashider/muzzlebrake is marked "2 gcy". The bipod legs retain most of their original black enamel finish. Gun comes with one original 20 round magazine, the original 10 1/2" cruciform bayonet and a French 15” long bayonet, which used to be substituted by the troops for the shorter original German version, and an FG 42 owners manual reprint-in the original German-limited edition of 2000 printed by Val Forgett in 1973 (covers the first model). These guns are very rarely seen for sale, this is overall a superb example of this "Holy Grail" of German machine guns. [Fully transferable on ATF Form 4]. (1433 -32) {C&R} (50,000/75,000)
