MG42 Machinegun Replica

Thanks to G&G company another treat for historical
replica enthusiasts and fans of historical airsoft
has arrived on the market. A long-awaited replica of a well-known, pressed into
service in 1942, Maschinengewehr 42 – MG42
machinegun replica. A construction that in the hands of soldiers of Third Reich
(and not only!) has spread fear along almost all fronts of WWII and as the
years went by has become legendary. 

At first glance (and feel!) it is apparent that this is
no toy, but a solid piece of work. The size and details of the
original were imitated as best as possible, furthermore the full-metal
construction has allowed to provide a significant weight – almost
11 kg without a loaded magazine. Polymer parts include: pistol grip
linings (as in the live firearm original) and ammo belt from the magazine.

The replica is made mostly from steel, namely: the bipod,
barrel cover, flash hider, entire receiver, magazine and all mechanisms
connected to barrel release and reloading are made from steel. The outer barrel
was made from a zinc and aluminium alloy. Gearbox was
made from 6061 aluminium with the use of CNC
machines. Polymer parts include the feeder/magazine finish, round dummies and
pistol grip.

The stock of the replica, exactly as is the case in the
live firearm original, was made from natural, lacquered wood.
The Hop-Up adjustment ring is located under the dust cover. Solid,
steel bipod can be lock and folder under the barrel. As the live
firearm original was adapted for shooting down planes, so does the replica
feature appropriate “L-Kimme” iron sights.

In order power airsoft “Saw of Hitler” (as it was called
by Allies) a dedicated, specially designed and reinforced gearbox was installed inside the replica
and inside it, among others set of steel gears and metal 10mm oil-free
bearings. Features a 490mm long and efficient inner barrel. The gearbox
features a quick spring change system.

MG42 is fed with an electrically spun box magazine that
is a loyal imitation of the original. Its casing was made entirely
from steel. The magazine can store up to 1700 BBs and
is powered by a 7,4V battery.
