Designed and manufactured by the Soviet Union during World War II to replace their outdated Model 1910 Maxim machine guns, the SG-43 proved to be a reliable addition to the Red Army's arsenal. After World War II, many Soviet Union satellite countries either had SG-43 machine guns exported to them or received the licenses to locally produce them. This being a prime example of a Polish manufactured Wz.43 (SG-43). The receiver has been torch cut into 4 pieces. Receiver cover is marked with a "6" within a circle over "7.62mm/ CKM-wz.43/ 1955r/ RK-881". Other components include the bolt, bolt carrier, barrel, flash hider, rear sight assembly, spade grips, ammunition tray, and shield. Complete with an unidentified tripod. CONDITION: Metal components are for the most part good, retaining large amounts of their blue finish and exhibiting some scattered areas of oxidation. Barrel's bore is good, and retains well defined lands and grooves throughout. Smaller components like top cover, rear sight, bolt, and bolt carrier are excellent and still in their sealed importer plastic bags. Tripod shows chipping and wear to the paint and areas of oxidation. A nice assortment of Polish Wz.43 accessories. -MLW-
