It finally came in. Matrix (AGM) MG42 AEG. I was in a hurry today so I didn't take my time taking these photos. Sorry for the bad pics.
First impression: Wow, this thing is massive. I've never seen a real MG42, so I don't know how it compares to this but it's a bit bigger than I imagined, and it's not light. The shipping weight was 25.5 lbs. Not sure how much the AEG weighs but I imagine it'll wear me out in the field. The color looks good. The receivers look nice and flat black. The handguard is a bit more shinier than I like, but it's still not bad. I noticed that some paint chipped off already at places like the iron sights where metal parts hinge and also some parts like the bipod and screws on the top cover were loose. I have to tighten them. I'm not sure if it was made like this or if Evike did it (I needed them to change the spring to pass Canada regulations). The wood stock looks good. Twists on and off firmly. My repro MG42 sling didn't fit. The spot at the grip is too wide for it.
I got a few projects going right now so I probably won't go into the gearbox soon. Maybe some more detail pics later.
It barely fits in my Condor MG bag with the stock removed.
