Description
Thanks to AGM company, another real treat for history weaponry and historical airsoft enthusiasts has emerged on the market. A long awaited replica of well know, introduced in 1942 machinegun Machinengewehr 42 – MG42. A weapon that in hands of III Reich (but not only!) soldiers sow terror on all fronts of World War II and during the years it gained cult status.
It can be determined at first glance that this is no toy but a solid piece of metal. The dimensions and details are as close to original as they can be, additionally thanks to full-metal structure the weight is also righteous – it weighs nearly 7kg. The only parts made from polymer are pistol grip (just like in the original) and bb loader in the magazine.
Basic components of the replica – receiver, outer barrel, barrel cover and receiver cover – were made from homogenous zinc and aluminium alloy. The bipod, magazine, charging handle, magazine mount cover and other small elements, like sight base and barrel change lever are made from steel.
The replica’s stock, just like in the original, is made from natural, painted wood. The hop-up adjustment lever is located under the receiver cover. Solid, steel bipod can be folded and secured under the barrel. The original MG42 could be used as anti-aircraft gun, hence the replica is equipped with set of AA type sights.
For powering ‘The Hitler’s buzz Saw’, a specially designed, reinforced two-part gearbox was installed. Inside it has a set of steel gears, chrome cylinder, driven piston head with bearing and 8mm ball bearings. Additionally it has efficient, long 600mm inner barrel. The gearbox has quick spring change system.
