So, who's the hotshot who can identify this piece? It's one of the several new guns I've uploaded to the web site (Forgotten Weapons) this evening (looking at the site before you figure it out is cheating!). 
Can you identify this firearm?

MG42 but could be a modern MG3 (although I don't think so given the grip). Possibly the Yugo version of it...what was it called? M53 or something along those lines?

OK, now having looked at your site, I see that I was wrong. But at least it was an interesting read.

Saginaw Steering Gear MG42 trail model in 30 government? t24?................. Baahah i know i am right i was reading the wiki mg42 article last week has to be that.
And that's why I like THR - the depth of knowledge.
It is, in fact, the US experimental version of the MG42 in .30-06 (aka T24). Here's another of this pictures I uploaded:
The distinguishing features you can see are the attachment points for the US tripod, the US-style rear sight, and the US bipod. Note the 1944 date on the caption.
