Some light reading for you https://www.atf.gov/file/58251/download

9.5.3.5 Distribution of decedents’ “sales samples.” If NFA firearms in a decedent’s estate are “sales samples,” that is, they were imported and distributed to the decedent as sales samples or were domestically manufactured machineguns distributed to the decedent as sales samples, the sale sample restriction continues in effect and lawful possession of the firearms requires that the firearms be held as “sales samples” for demonstration to government agencies.171 Therefore, these firearms within an estate must be transferred to government agencies or FFLs/SOTs as sales samples for demonstration to such agencies.

No you can not keep the dealer samples unless you are still in business with your sot at the time of your death. The guns can transfer with the ownership of the business. If there is no licensed business at the time of death then the estate must sell the weapons.

Not sure if you can still get hard copies but you should take a look at this for basic reference. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/national-firearms-act-handbook

Would you be interested in selling the scope separate from the rifle?

I don't need anything but I might want something if you can expand on "plenty of spare parts, barrels, belts, loaders, tools etc".

I know someone in your state of Pennsylvania that offered me one last year. Might be the same gentleman of which you spoke. I have his contact info if you would like I can PM it to you.

There is also a Swedish K listed for sale on this site and while not a German gun it would be a good choice for a shooter. Parts and magazines are readily available. 2cents

PM sent. Looks nice. I am most interested in photos that allow a view of the welds.

David Spiwak has one on his website right now. https://www.davidspiwak.com/guns/

Anyone have a transferable Swedish K for sale.

For what it is worth I like the mg34 with an anti aircraft tripod.
