Oh.. eJection!! I was going to say that people keep spamming me about that but it's a different word!

Absolutely staggering! There's a lot of time, thought and euros gone into that collection. Congratulations.

Not only the Magnatron.. but.. how sad is this??? http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/beninbronze/2003_0703_090326AA.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/beninbronze/2003_0703_090320AA.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/beninbronze/2003_0703_090312AA.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/...

I know the part that you're talking about. I, too, always assumed that it was a slide to take some sort of instrument with a base like the optic sight until I was corrected by an armourer. It's as JB describes it.

It's empty. I bought an MG-Z42 optic sight to go in it and found that the base of the sight is too big to go right down to the bottom of the can. So I have a spare can and a spare sight. Perhaps I should put them into the F/S forum!.

I've just been informed that the gun is in such a good condition because it was one of 1000 made for delivery to Portugal in 1943 and thus saw little or no action.

It doesn't fire. I'm in the UK!!!!!!

The only all metal one that I have been able to lay hands on is a Tanaka Airsoft WZ-63 which I have modified . This is the same weight and size as the original and the only give away was the small nozzle on the underside of the magazine. BEFORE ALTERATION http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/benin...

Any out there ????????? :-P

This one seems to be devoid of trap doors.

I can't put that out in public as my wife thinks that they came from charity shops and donations from friends!!

Would rather have one that shoots! Even if only semi-auto. Very nice display though. Must be nice living close to so many historical places across the pond. Very nice tripods and optics. I have 7 mgz40 sights and am sort of a code nazi: what is the code on your sights? And, as far as a working MG34...

Anyone else notice anything strange about the optics???

Do you mean that I've got the 42 on the 34 and the 34 on the 42? That was purely for the colour scheme!!
