SOLD! RHEINMETALL / PB BERETTA MG42/59 PARTS KIT, WITH HEAVY BOLT & HEAVY BUFFER, JUST ONE, $2,999.00

[RTG Parts]

Rheinmetall / PB Beretta MG42/59 parts kit. Includes the incredibly rare 1200 gram heavy bolt and heavy buffer for the slowest possible rate of fire in your NFA MG. This is a rare evolutionary MG that bridges the gap between the MG42 & MG3

MG42/59 was a Rheinmetall licensed MG42 variant to be made by Beretta for use by the Italian military. This collaboration resulted in one of the most beautiful beltfeds to come out of Europe. Some parts are marked PB Beretta with Italian proof marks. Other parts have discreet Rheinmetall stamps or Rheinmetall subcontractor markings which are also found on German issued MG1/MG3. This kit was demillled in Italy. This is not a hodgepodge of mixed parts, but a correct kit out of Italy.

Based solely on looks, the MG42/59 is my favorite version of the MG42. It's not just an evolutionary missing link that bridges the gap between the MG42 and the MG3/MG74. It also doesn't show some of the production cost savings that the later models exhibited. The refined machining of the muzzle cone, front receiver bushing and booster assembly is unique and quite cool looking. Little things like the stamped reinforcements on the locking lever for muzzle cone are super improvements not found on later guns. (More than 60% of the levers that came out of Germany were bent or cracked. These extra little stampings would have benefited the MG3!)

Features:

• Licensed by Rhinemetall to be made in collaboration with PB Beretta for Italy
• 7.62x51mm NATO
• Heavy 1200 gram bolt body complete with MG3 style bolt head
• Heavy buffer, which is correct and required to safely run the heavy bolt in your NFA MG42/1/3/74
• Unique front muzzle area. Looks like a wartime front-end from a few feet away. Up close it is much more interesting.
• Unique 2200 meter 7.62NATO sight. (MG42 is 2000m, MG3 is 1200m)
• Unique markings throughout
• Strengthened locking lever for muzzle cone.
• Bipod is a stepping stone between the MG42 and MG3 pods.
• Top cover and feed tray are similar to the MG1-A3. Looks like a MG42 from the outside.
• We found production dates ranging from 1966 to 1968. We did not check dates on every kit so some may be earlier/later.
• Takes standard MG1, MG3, MG74 barrels (barrel not included)
• Takes standard MG3 belts
• Condition: As Pictured
