The only drawback would be the resulting jail sentence.

WWII machine gun found in Lithuanian mail
– Tue Mar 22, 9:28 am ET
VILNIUS, Lithuania – Lithuanian customs and postal officials say they have found a fully functional machine gun dating from World War II, complete with ammunition, in a package at Vilnius International Airport.
Officials said Tuesday that the German-made MG-42 machine gun was found after scanning a suspicious 20-kilogram (44-pound) package posted in Lithuania and bound for Germany.
Customs spokeswoman Asta Mikeleviciute says it was the first time that customs authorities had ever uncovered such a parcel and an investigation has been launched.
No evacuation of the capital's airport was ordered, but authorities were placed on alert.
More than 65 years after the war, Lithuania and other East European countries continue to uncover large amounts of weaponry and unexploded ordnance.

I was probably on the way to a collector who is now out the purchase price. Or maybe Uwe had a custom killer bass project in mind.

Too bad. If only they had taken it down and shipped it in several packages, it most likely would have gotten through. Excellent weapon though, which is why the US army copied it.

I would prefer something smaller.  I have wanted a Schmeiser since I first started gluing Tamiya kits togther.

One of the supermarkets I go to has a nice magazine section, and lo and behold there was one that was only about the AK-47.

Spring.  It's machine gun time.
Model One and Schallers?  Ish.
