johnsonlmg41 Posted September 16, 2024 Report Share Posted September 16, 2024 Cool photo! The mag pouches don't look familiar to me at the moment? Guns don't have bayonet lugs....but hey, I'd rather have a machete than a bayonet any day! Especially in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NambuLMG Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Thank you! Its a Mk 2/43 Trials Gun. About 200 of them were produced in an effort to lighten the gun which I believe shaved off about 2 pounds, they were never adopted and that's all I really know about it. It was a DEWAT when I acquired it probably 30 years ago but has since been reactivated and is a well performing SMG, if I had to keep only one gun this would be it! -Rick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
