Model Gun Corporation when they made these modelguns did a superb job on the details they are very close approximations to the real guns.
However, there are some differences to the real guns (beyond the fact that they are slightly larger internally than the original, to prevent parts interchangeability with the real gun) these differences are slight but worth noting: (1. The bolt features the late "push-pull" safety handle, but it unfortunately does not function, as it is cast in one piece integrally with the bolt body. (2. The muzzle nut presses on the barrel's muzzle instead of being threaded on (3. The barrel nut doesn't look correct (the "flats" are too long), (4. the Allen bolts on the magazine housing (instead of being pinned into place), and the resting bar simply snaps onto the barrel. Other than these "oversights", the MGC mp40 is an excellent modelgun, nice and heavy! and very well constructed. (especially the older version)
The receiver, partial lower assembly, recoil spring tube, front sight protector, trigger connector, extractor, trigger, stock butt plate, the magazine assembly and magazine housing are stamped steel, the lower grip frame, barrel, barrel nut, bolt, sling ring, stock pieces, rear sight ASSY and sear are cast zinc.
In fact, the only plastic (abs) used in construction is limited to the grip plates, resting bar and the forearm. In short, it is a very well made (and heavy) modelgun version of the mp40.
And although, it does have the detail "problems" as compared to the real mp40 or the Marushin (abs version) it is still a very good and highly sought after modelgun!
