A legal MG42 is definitely on my short list. I'll take it without the pimpshine though......

I just threw up, in my mouth.

That's an understatement! Wow, why would anyone think that's the way to go with any firearm?

Beautiful!

you can cerakote in gold.

If it was labeled "ceremonial"... certain folks would bid on it to a premium

The shiny MG, with the holes in the shroud.... kinda reminds me about that one time at band camp.

In the pics below there is a gold Walther P1..... with a few nicks and scrapes on the grips. Why go to that much expense to ruin a perfectly good firearm and not source perfect grips?

Those are awful

Many people have a surplus of money teamed with a paucity of taste.

I would take that MG just the way it is . . . then have it stripped and refinished to original. Still an awesome piece even with the ugly chrome.

Pimpinstien!

That's an MG-34 on that site. A more elegant, but temperamental weapon than the MG-42.

Lucky you. I couldn't hold onto it.
