Re: Gr vorratskasten fur MG Lafette 34

That is a beautiful spares kit, I think the first one I've seen with parts inside. Thank you very much for sharing, awesome to see that many Lafette repair parts in one place.

Partially Matching Kit

Super long shot here, but I recently received a partially matching kit (dot 1943 8891a) and was curious if anybody had any parts that matched this. I've got a matching shroud, grip an top cover, all seem to be original finish. Please let me know if you have any leads. Thanks, Brian Photo Nov 26 2022...

Re: Blank-Adapting the MG34.

Yes, that's the main missing link at the moment. I was able to snag one up when they were available, but I don't see them out there very much. Have another friend looking for one too.

Re: Blank-Adapting the MG34.

After a couple of years of trying different things, I was finally able to get my SA34 running green plastics pretty reliably. I had to get a Norwegian top cover to feed them properly and use a 308 2 piece blank barrel that was made by Kriegsende MIlitaria (long since out of stock I believe). I had l...

Semi Auto MG13

Posting for a friend an MG13, semi auto conversion done by Midwest Metal Creations. Functions great both live and blank. Only thing worth mentioning is that the folding stock can be tricky to get to engage with the detent- not a big deal. Comes with 3 8mm Mauser live barrels all in fantastic conditi...

Re: Extractor issue

What style extractor is in your bolt? I've heard the old style of extractors are more prone to coming out of the bolt as you describe, but normally under the pressure of firing the MG. I've not heard of this issue with the new style extractor. Early style https://www.brpguns.com/mg34-bolt-extractor-...

Odd Barrel Profile

Good evening, Has anybody seen the end profile of an MG42 barrel like the one circled below? As you can see, it’s very different than the normal profile that I’m used to seeing. I’ve also included pictures of the markings. I’m assuming that Rheinmetall produced the barrel based on the similarities t...

bvu marked MGZ 34

I just picked up this bvu marked MGZ 34 today. It came complete with sun filters as well. Very pleased and can't wait to try it on my Lafette. Interesting that Folke hasn't seen any bvu marked MGZ sights. This is from the March auction from Rock Island that ended last week. Box Front.jpg Box Top.jpg...

Boresighting the MG 34

Hello all, I was looking through my "Universal Machineguns" book and read the article describing the boresight process for the MG 34 and 42. Since the actual tools to boresight the MG 34 are terribly hard to find, is it possible to boresight the gun and MGZ using the field expedient method of drilli...

MGZ 34 Lens Filters

I was looking at a friends collection recently and saw that he had two lens filters in the case for his MGZ 34. How rare are these? I have never specifically looked for them, but don't recall seeing any for sale separately. In a search I was able to find a set at The Collector's Guild. https://www.g...

Hello, does anybody have a Fosters field gauge and a Stahlpatrone 62.3 that they have used for headspacing? I am curious if they are different lengths. I have the Foster gauge and am curious if getting a Stahlpatrone is worth the money if I can find one. I was finally able to read how to properly he...

Re: Replacing Mg34 extractor.

Here is a thread with a picture of how to use one. It looks like IMA is sold out of them, but you can find them pop up on GB every once and a while. Hope this helps.
