    Default Is it possible? Mg53 Vs Mg42

    Hi guys,
    I found in a military shop an Mg53 with all the correct jugoslavian markings on it, the jugoslavian butt, but... there are also a lot of german waffenamt and looking with more attention also the jugoslavian marking seems to be engraved on pre-existing markings. Maybe Germans?

    Is it possible that this gun was a German Mg42 tranformed in a jugoslavian Mg 53 after the war as a war pray?

    I read the tread about the difference between the guns but if anyone can post the pictures of this differences will be super!

    Hi, I have posted about the differences in the two guns before on the forum here, but I don't have any pics. The easiest thing to look for is the lack of A/A sight mount on the MG53:

    Be careful of German stamps on a Yugo gun. Fake stamps are sometimes added! Guns made up from parts are possible though, but we will need pics to be sure.

    Cheers, Ade.

    Thank you Ade, I'll try to get some decent pictures of the gun this weekend.
