German WW2 machine gun parts including "bnz" Steyr marked barrel, low profile wooden buttstock with upper trap hardware not present, mainspring, operating piston, complete handgrip assembly, and sheet metal handguard, gas cylinder tube, and rear part of receiver section. CONDITION: Rear receiver section has been torch cut on a diagonal 5 1/2" to 6 1/4 " forward from the rear of section. Remaining parts appear in good serviceable condition except for barrel which has a 1/4 inch hole drilled from outside through into the chamber, with remains of weld at the mouth of the chamber, where the weld has been drilled out to reveal bore condition. Otherwise bore is good with some pitting forward of the chamber, improving condition towards the muzzle. Some useful parts here for spares for a highly desirable German WW 2 machine gun.
