Description: utreon.com/c/forgottenweapons patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! shop.forgottenweapons.com The Maden-Saetter was the Madsen (DISA) company’s entry into the GPMG arena. It Wass developed by Eric Larsen-Saetter in the early 1950s, although it did not enter production until 1960. The design was heavily German-influenced, with an MG34-like receiver, MG42-like recoil mechanism and feed system, and G43-like locking system. Unfortunately for DISA, it was a bit too complicated and had to compete against some truly excellent GPMG alternative at the time; the FN MAG and MG42/59 (aka MG3). A total of just 11,500 were produced, and the only significant military contract was to the Indonesian Army. Contact: Forgotten Weapons 6281 N. Oracle 36270 Tucson, AZ 85740
