Deactivated Yugoslavian MG42/M53

This is a supurb example of a Yugoslavian made MG42/M53 machine gun.The M53's were manufactured using the abandoned machinery left by the Nazi's after WWII. The Yugoslavian's took over production and renamed the MG42 the M53. These post war machine guns are identical to the wartime models and some of the early examples can still be found with wartime parts fitted. Many are still in use today around the world. A fabulous example with all matching serial numbers including the bolt and head. Deactivated with a working action. This M53 is available and is awaiting a replacement deactivation certificate at the proof house. This will not affect its deactivation status.
