iron ram Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Are you missing a MG -34 I think I found it http://wavy.m0bl.net/r/du47b WWII machine gun found in mail Mar 22, 2011 10:23 a.m. Lithuanian customs and postal officials say they have found a fully functional machine gun dating from World War II, complete with ammunition, in a package at Vilnius International Airport. Officials said Tuesday that the German-made MG-42 machine gun was found after scanning a suspicious 20-kilogram (44-pound) package posted in Lithuania and bound for Germany. Customs spokeswoman Asta Mikeleviciute says it was the first time that customs authorities had ever uncovered such a parcel and an investigation has been launched. No evacuation of the capital's airport was ordered, but authorities were placed on alert. More than 65 years after the war, Lithuania and other East European countries continue to uncover large amounts of weaponry and unexploded ordnance.

sandtrooper Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I read about that too. Someone's going to be unhappy that they didn't get it. Wonder if they have any MG-15s lying around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWIIREBEL Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Ok it was a MG-42. Really hard to tell by the pic they gave and the news never gets it right normally Had a closer look at this pic.Seems the "ammunition" is a couple of crimped blanks(look at front of the casings).This actually might be a display piece or a blank fire device, unless they disassembled it to confirm???.
