that sounds like a great plan tim. if you're able to source 'em let us know. i've got a few mg15 drums i could load with it!

i think once collectors in russia figure out what they're worth or see that one sell more will start to show up.

quick google search of europa metal stamping turned up a company that was around in the 20s and 30s doing metal stamping and according to their history they were destroyed during the war but then rebuilt and are still in business today. expensive for sure but im sure its original. looks tough to rep...

I have lots of belts that only have a three letter code and no other stamps. I have a couple that only have a small WaA mark with nothing else. The rest all have dates and codes. Anybody know if late war belts are completely unmarked? - matt

maybe he's just busy. you'll have to get a new photo avatar taken with your new mg on your shoulder and maybe a new outfit as well. early war french blue would be nice! -matt

There is a little spring catch on the front of the trigger guard frame that holds it shut. When the trigger is pulled it opens the door. I had to fiddle with mine to get it to work and stay shut. - matt

The spring for the lever in the bolt should be very stiff. It is hard to push on a few of my bolts, the ones that function well. The cartridge lever in the top cover is stiff but can be depressed with finger pressure. Something else to look at is the top edge of that lever on the bolt. If it is roun...

The little lever on the top of the bolt is probably worn out or its spring is weak. Also check the rear cartridgel lever in the feedblock and its spring. Any combination of those two being week or worn will allow the bolt to get under the cartridge. I had this problem in my TNW from day one and it d...

Nitre salts blue at a temperature around 600 or 700 if I remember it right. Normal bluing is around 300. To high a temp will make hardened steel turn plum or deep purple. - matt

can you get to the rivets through a cooling hole on the opposite side? the one I replaced on my tnw was the rear and it was attached with screws. they springs seem to be identical - matt

Really? Nice comment. That does not do this board any favors at all. Please consider revising.

hi rgus, i just bought one from ryan at RES MFG on gunbroker a few weeks ago. it was 75 and was complete. might have a more. - matt

Those cans have nothing to do with the MG34. Pure fantasty.

Never seen such a thing. - matt

I could use a few myself. They seem to be unobtainable. My TNW has broken a few over the past few years. Nothing wrong with the bolts other than the rollers. - Matt

They seem to be on ebay often. Keep watching. They are Israeli made. Germans used a sling to carry the gun.

the top cover pins with the screws are an israeli post war addition. germans didn't make those.

great clips and music. is that RH footage reversed, the negative that is?

I believe it is post war Israeli.
