....Hey 42 Rocker, I am still alive..! .........For years I have used two of those original MG-34 2/piece barrels with my home made full size 8mm blanks..... :eureka: ,,,,,,,I did not read over above, our words of Yesteryear, but in my blanks I use 14 gr. of Bullseye in my crimped fullsize blanks, w...

.....I assume you are wanting this one?

......I just saw your note here, looking for a original MG-34 anti-aircraft mount, complete with cradle on top. ............ ......I have had this MG-34 AA mount for nearly 20 years, and used it once on Knob Creek range. ........... .......I am sure you know the tri-pod we are talking about, has it'...

Yeah John, keep wrestling with that body of yours, and get back to normal..........The rest of us old guysare on that same road you are on, full of hazards, punji sticks and booby traps at our age. ......If get well enough and wish to visit KCR with your 42, let me know, and we can shoot together on...

.......Just to clarify what has been said above.......The conversation blended war-time and post-war ammo cans! The war-time ammo cans were without any metal bent rod guide in the bottom.... The post war west German/308 ammo cans have the rod guide in the bottom.....It seems no one above, seperated ...

"......I know it is, but this will be my last machine gun....in this lifetime,ha!...." You know Bob, just about every time we see each other, you make that same statement. I think it's more that you want your wife to believe it, than you expect us to believe it. I don't think you're convincing anyon...

...Prefer a erb or wilson tubed MP-38, but a c&r one would do also....thanks....bh

……..…..I would love to have just one of those original wood-tip blanks, for my collection. ...I have only be able to find Egyptian 7.92m wood tip blanks years back...…..as hard as the MG-42 bolt & F/P slams into the primer of those blanks, I can only get 40% or so to fire...….I have about 500 of the...

A break in the fighting a few yrs back.;

Here is a shot on the firing line at Knob Creek Rg a few yrs back........The young Lady, Corah, really liked the 42, and didn't want to stop.

God Bless you Salt6, on the other side of the world, and thank you for this great site........and, what a magnificent successor to run things here, John Baum. .....John Baum is set up at the MG Shoot at Knob Creek Rg every six months, and keeps us german WWII re-enactors straight with his advice roo...

Good ideas from John....>> Maybe you should wait until the election is over:> ...If she wins, we are in trouble, and you'll be able to ask a lot higher price, because there will be such a panic, in the way of buying, that we have not seen yet.

Yes John,...I want to go there at least once, before I am too old to do it...Ha!...See you there.

Yah, Mike, ...as you know , I am a big one on cutting the recoil spring down, when setting the gun up for firing Blanks. ..........and I do this on both the 34 & 42, FA and when I had both in SA form. ...Folk in his big book on the 34 & 42, even mentions that the unit waffen-meister had to be carefu...

....or, will trade a Blanksguy 2-piece 308 blank barrel for the MG-34...for the Blanksguy 2-piece MG-42 blank barrel..?

.....I already have one of (Richard's) "Blanksguy's" MG-42 , 2-piece blank barrel, with both the 8m & 308 inserts. ..~I have found in re-enactments, especially public events, one blank barrel is not enough to maintain sustained fire....using one blank barrel, forces me to slow down & even cease firi...

I agree with John Baum, and go even further..>> For me, I prefer a wet gun, for even in re-enactments with blanks, we are usually in sterile or near sterile environments......Changing hot barrels & spraying oil on them to help them cool faster, plus using the two piece blank barrels, I lube the smal...
