This is nothing I would ever expect to see at someone's house but of course I get a call to go look at coins and she wanted to know if I was interested in this? I see a little bit about them on Google however I'm not sure if I have a repo or if it's even functional. But I'm surprised to see it with an original box. My question is, is it worth anything? Should I even consider buying it or just leave it for her to deal with?

if it is real I think they are illegal

however if you come across a working lever action 30-30 for a low price I might buy it from you

I wanted the box... didn't happen. The owner said that she found it out in the woods when she was a kid. And she's probably in her 50s now.

I think they're illegal to have. And I probably didn't do any good with this post.

That gun is worth a small fortune !!! If its real.looks like repro. Post a pic of the trigger and safety mechanism. Should have fire selector safe, semi, full auto if real. Looks to good to be true. You never know though.

Its a repro. Replica gun or a blank firing model. Made in late 60s early 70s probably 1968. 600-800 $ some have sold as high as 2000$. Lots of info online. Didn't dig to far but searched "mgc 68 mp-40" beautiful replica gun, buy it from her and resell it, or hang it on wall.

I wouldn't be able to get the (3) hundred dollar bills out fast enough!!
A friend of mine, a gunsmith with the proper license, sold a real one for 12,000 a few years ago.

IF on the way home you get pulled over for speeding, don't wave it around
