I know where there is a German Maxim Model 1908/15 machine gun. It is complete except for the trigger and firing mechanism. Can you still find parts for these relics? The Caliber is 7.92mm (.311 inch)same as infantry rifle. Debating whether to buy it or not. I know very little about this old gun.

    Gun Parts Corp has parts for many obsolete guns, but you must give them a detailed description of what you need, including the gun's serial #. There are a few smaller companies that deal in old military parts that advertise in the Gun List and Shotgun News.

    I wouldn't spend much money on an obsolete gun unless I could first find the parts I needed, as they may not be available.

    If the gun you have found is not currently registered, don't mess with it. If it is registered, you will have to pay a $200 transfer tax to acquire it legally. Breach blocks are available for $150. Trigger assemblys are very hard to find.
