Fritz Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 They cost at least 2500 - 3000 Euros nowadays, and are now under unbelievable legal restrictions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I had a chance to buy a operational one in Prague, back in 1991. It costed 300 DM, which I thought was a fantastic deal, however I did not purchase it. Deactivated ones in the US are in the thousands, fully functional ones, are even higher. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Just looked at the prices, fully functional MP-40, goes for close to $30,000 here. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Hui! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Indeed! that is why I bought a replica instead, much cheaper and no legal issues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Original MP40 ammunition pouches are also incredibly expenive. There are also a few good copies in variations on the market for very reasonable prices. One collector I know has a superb uniform figure with an infantryman wearing an M.40 tunic, orig. M.40 trousers, the long boots and an M.42 helmet, in all good condition, original and complete, the figure has an original MP40 on original strap, a nice complete set with a pair of copy pouches to complement it. He didn't want to pay the price for original pouches. All these items, he told me, he got for very cheap money years ago at flea markets. Latest new laws are considering banning long magazines over 20 rounds, and also certain magazines over 10 round, these law amendments have not yet come into force, so MP.40 magazines, etc. may become illegal as from February next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Wow, that is ashame, there should be some loop hole for items of a certain age at least. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Here is my replica, made by Denex, has the same weight, folding stock, removable magazine, operable bolt. I typically don't like replicas, however originals have gotten so expensive, it is now a more practical option. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I'm afraid the strap on this one doesn't look very good with the stitched edges - you can get a better quite cheap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 That is the one it came with, I will swap it out at some point...still clinging to hope I will find a great deal on an original MP40... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
