Re: rail rivet lenght

When I was assembling my first one, I was hammering away at those rivets and I reminded me of when I was younger on the farm changing out the teeth on a swather. No matter how tight you riveted them after a year of not being changed (or less) they would get loose. When you look how they were origina...

Re: Went to test fire today...TNW

I had feed problems with my TNW MG34. It was bending the round about every 10 rnds. Talked to the guys at TNW . They said look by the cams for nice shinny copper spots and file them down. Sure enough, it took care of the feed problem. I have had no other problems with my feed.

Re: E-Bay-Traitors or just Dirtbags?

I used Ebay time to time, but it made me feel dirty. After this (Try a different word.), I am canceling my ebay account. That makes me sick! Our troops are doing there job and these scum bags are allowing the enemies to buy our gear to use against us. How patriotic

Pics of my just finished MG42 after taking it out

Here are some pics of my mg42 after taking it out. My wife lined up all the rifles I took to the range to prove I was crazy. I don't think so. Next time I take out the mg42 I will take some good pics of it.

Re: Can somebody tell me if this a fake

I figured it was a fake, Just posted it so everyone can see it. There is a large write up on this guy in another post. How can he have good feedback when he is a crook? Isn't the feedback suposed to weed these guys out. I bet even his car has german proof marks and was used by the SS

Re: How to Replace MG34 Grip Panels?

Congrats on the MG34. The grips are very easy to remove. Unscrew the two bolt on the bottom of the grips. Then slid them up to unlock the top pins. Good luck

It was still in the nuded but had grease in the charging handle groove and on the inner rails. The front had a rough cut and the inside had metal filings. Do you know the story behi...
