I will ship this, but would have to charge actual shipping which would probably be ~$100. I would prefer a FTF in the Sarasota/Bradenton/Venice/Port Charlotte areas in FL. This is a good condition MG3 ground mount tripod that, like most German military items, is a functional work of engineering art. It will work with many beltfed MGs including the 1919 with an adapter. There isn't anything on the tripod that you can't adjust, there is even an integrated bubble level in one of the legs. All the adjustments work as intended, the bubble level works, traverse and elevation work unbelievably smooth, trigger actuator works. This one even comes w/ the original optic and optic container (which fits onto the tripod in both deployed and travel configuration). The carry straps are a bit ratty and there is some surface rust, but other than that it is in good shape. These used to be widely available but dried up a couple years ago.
Price is $700 w/ payment via cash or paypal if FTF. If you don't live locally and want this tripod, payment can be made by USPS MO, certified check or MO (must clear before shipping), or discreet paypal.
