Any interest in a WWII German FG42 ?

[K98]

Just curious if anyone is interested in a German FG42. One is available in an estate sale locally. It has been in the attic of a WWII vet all these years. The little old lady that has it only wants $300 for it. If you look down near your shoe, that's me pulling your leg.
But if you really want one, check out this auction. OMG there are soooo many great old weapons. Will need a winning lottery ticket though. rockislandauction.com

there are new manufacture FG42s ... they are much more than $300.

4k or solast I looked for a semi. Original fa expect 60-100k due to rarity

...and purportedly not the most reliable guns around.

I'm surprised ATI never made one in 22lr.

The original FG42 with ZF4 sniper scope, original mount, grenade launcher, and bayonet brought ONLY $299,000 at auction. I wonder how many of these ever turned up at a "gun buy back".

Holy cow, the must have been a collector with ankle-deep pockets!

Also add the buyer premium, so probably 330k total
