I've gathered the history of these Ultimax AEGs as follows:
ANGS made a small batch of custom MG/42s using SHOEI guns and a custom gearbox. Apparently they outsourced the construction, and after this batch was done, the original Taiwanese/Hong Kong manufacturer decided to continue making these guns and started marketing them straight to the Hong Kong shops.
Looks like DEN has only the MG3 version in stock. Apparently Guns'N'Guys still has the MG/42s too. MG3 is a viable option too, it's not really an MG3, it just comes with a modern drum mag and green painted stocks. I'm sure the WW2 drum can be fitted too, and painting shouldn't pose a problem to anybody. For those who do not know: MG3 is a post-war German MG/42 that is not 100% same externally. Go check Wikipedia or World.guns.ru to see the differences if you're really interested.
I've had this AEG for two years. Go check the other MG/42 thread below to see what I wrote about it.
