When was it deactivated..if it's a current eu spec then pulling the cocking handle will not operate anything anyway,so it will not push anything out of a belt of ammo.
@coolexploiter1943 while the belt is on the feed tray it can be cocked but dont pull the trigger as this will force a round out of the belt and will damage it as it will go up against the barrel inner weld and push the bullet backwards into the case.
its been a while since ive added any deacs but the majority were bought from deac dealers in the uk,some were bought at mil fairs,but we are talking years ago when prices were still good and the methods of deactivation were more acceptable than today.
thank you sir, this is what i was looking for.
thanks for watching

Great stuff, talking about stuff(ed) does your tripod have the-easier-for-the-carrier-cushions?
Thanks,and yep it does
Just got my 44 dated mg42 and I’m extactic! If I put inert rounds in could I cock it while they’re on the feed tray without pulling the trigger?

@@historicmilitaria1944 Perfect! Exactly the reply I was looking for. Much appreciated! Great video by the way.
I have a question. Where do you get your deactivated weapons from.
