My MGC MP40, (still got it) is almost exactly like an original. They were later modified to take a bolt with a large cutout for an offset ejector, as the first models would actually allow a real MP40 bolt to just drop in!!, (It is said by some that you could buy a parts kit from Sarco or other and simply bolt everything onto the MGC steel receiver and have a working MP40. I tend to doubt that but I remember the stories). The magazine looks original, with fake waffenamps and all, but is is slightly oversized and will not fit in a real MP40. The easiest way to tell is that they have a cheap follower, made of folded over metal, versus a nicely stamped/formed follower on the real magazines.
