Why would you be?

I wasn't but there had been several posts from various people about Lafettes.  I saw it while browsing Morphy's and posted the link

It’s an mg3 mount.  Not worth much.

Don't know the difference and don't much care. Belt-feds aren't my thing, just putting it out there if anyone was interested.  Ancient history at this point

Just happen to see this post. 

The MG3/MG42 lafette as seen in your post at Murphys is low cost due to their availability. I've see them makes as HK or DISA. I personally have a DISA. 

MG42 Lafette post war Yugo are also relatively cheap. They are pretty much built like a WWII MG42 lafette or a WWII lafette converted to Yugo colors and label plate. 

MG42 Nazi era is more expensive if in original configuration but not crazy expensive. 

MG34 lafette.. Now that is the rare one and cost in the thousands. There are not many of them due to many were converted to MG42 LAFETTES. The dedicated MG34 parts removed and replaced with MG42 parts
