Back in the late 70's/80's, my partner Jim and I would take an MG-34 'parts kit' MG (from Golden Enterprises - Sarco's back door) w/dummy receiver to gun shows as a table display...There was another vendor who had a raked-grip FG-42 on display...(this was way before AirSoft had models)...Really interesting; he'd come over and look at our MG-34 and we'd go look at his FG-42...

Sadly, BATF leaned on the organizers and they banned MG displays...Even dummy displays...

I recall reading that Rheinmetall-Borsig had only made ~5,000 FG-42's...Back in the 70's, they were selling for ~$5,000...

Looking at my inflation calculator http://146.142.4.24/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl that translates to ~$20,000 now...
