Sights involved a sophisticated screw-adjustable diopter rear and adjustable post front combination, both of which fold out of the way to accommodate the mounting of a ZF4 4X scope on an integral receiver rail. The Type II’s stock (with the exception of the plastic panels on the reconfigured pistol grip) was wood, the magazine well gained a spring-loaded cover, the location of the safety was changed and a brass deflector was added. As well, the trigger group was made to be removable. Modifications were made to some of the gun’s internals, and the new design featured the addition of an improved muzzle brake and the aluminum bipod was repositioned. An expensive arm to produce, after about 2,000 had been built, the first model was re-engineered exploiting the use of carbon over manganese steel. The FG42 was an interesting looking piece with a severely raked-back pistol grip, folding bipod legs, an integral spike bayonet and a 20-round magazine jutting out from the left side of the action. Release is effected by a catch at the rear of the mounting. A 20-round ZB26-style magazine can be easily inserted into the rifle’s side-sited well.
