DavisB Posted December 23, 2024 Report Share Posted December 23, 2024 Good afternoon everyone, new member here. My apologies if this post doesn't fit the theme, however I have been scouring the interwebs for awhile now and seen the occasional complete MP40 parts kit come up on GB for mucho dollars and unfortunately missed the more affordable kits available from 1944 earlier this year. Does anyone have a complete lower frame for sale i.e. bakelite, stock, cup, trigger group, disassembly axle, etc.? I've seen parts available to putting them together piece meal, but the cost for a complete original versus piece meal with repro parts seem about equal. Thank you for any help! Again, my apologies if this is improper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekraps Posted December 24, 2024 Report Share Posted December 24, 2024 I have an excellent Bakelite set if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisB Posted December 25, 2024 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2024 I appreciate your offer, but that's the problem I ran into with looking to build one piece by piece. In the end it'd be the same price I've seen complete lowers sell for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, but building it piece meal would be about the same cost as buying a complete original from what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here they have one. I don't know the price but when I've asked before on things they seem to price at a premium. Maybe they are flexible. https://www.autoweapons.com/photos24/jan/mp40lower2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I unfortunately know. Just collecting German things. I do WW2 reenacting and it's stirred my desire for collecting all things with waffenampts on them. Maybe one day it'll become something, but for now it's stuck as a piece of blued steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
