Got this a long while back, just collecting dust and I guess it's time to sell it. But it's a bit different from other MG42 kits, seems like an old demil because they used a saw to cut off the rear receiver only, the rest of the front is still intact, even the rivets for the trunnion were never cut. Lots of WW2 markings too, so what would the value of this kit be?

 

[ali059]

I do not know but can i have first dibbs, denpending on your asking price?

Thanks

 

[30calmachinegunner]

My WAG is between $1000-1300

 

[Pirate]

with out the rear receiver sections it is only worth about 600 if it is ww2.
you can get a yugo kit for 350. the receiver is the expensive part.

 

[Woodco]

The kit looks to be in excellent condition and the barrel shroud is still intact.

I'd say around $950. The camming slots are cut through the rear 1/3rd so you don't have to worry so much about aligning barrel for accurcy.

I may be wrong

 

[Tank Commander]

I'd have to agree $700-900 to the right buyer based on its early maufacture (slab sided charging handle) and where the cut is.

 

[mdm]

just recently a barrel shroud intact like yours went for $1000 on gun broker without the other parts from the kit ,i believe its worth $1300-$1400 all day long,put it on gunbroker and i think you will be suprised at how much it goes for the prices on these early demills is through the roof.

 

[comanderfritz]

its worth every bit of $1400, hell i just paid $600 for a kit that didnt even have a complete shroud and was missing the cocking handle, i got it a day before another guy offered the guy i bought it from $900 for the same kit, got away close with that one.

 

[mdm]

Ya being that it is german and not a m53 it brings the value way up,and it has good markings not to mention the complete front half, A WLA front bushing is $125 alone, plus the work of installing it, i just saw someone pay $400 for a front half with caming section in tact, but was cut through the front bearing and it wasnt even german.The prices are becoming crazy.

Charging Handle

Ill give you 400 for the charging handle. No Joke.

 

[weasel_master]

Those charging handles are $400 by themselves. The kit should bring around $1000 but like was said before, the recievers are the expensive part.

 

[rocco1911]

Thats a

Thats a good candidate for a BRP receiver section as its cut past the camming section wonder if the Bolt has any markings on it also?

 

[1919_4_ME]

Sent ya a PM.

 

[sdk1968]

its a great front half. and appears to be in good shape...

but with out that very rear most section with the stamp and manu place and year on it thats gonna hurt your price a good bit.

now if someone has a good rear to go with this then your in ...... couldnt really tell much about the top cover.

 

[Cpt_Kirks]

Depending on how many WWII German parts there are, I would say this is worth $1000 at minimum and would probably sell for $1200.

It looks like the shrould is complete all the way past the camming section. Somebody with one of those IMA cut rear could have a fairly easy build.

 

[sdk1968]

. Somebody with one of those IMA cut rear could have a fairly easy build.

WORD!.. your right there.

but complete MG42 kits can be had all day for $1200 (4cut) but then again that front is really cut in a nice place!!

I haven't seen any four cuts for sale lately.

 

[DrSmeller]

So how much would a wwll three cut kit go for? Just curious.
