Just wondering what was needed to convert an MG34 (full auto, original) to .308, and if there are any other caliber conversions out there. I know a barrel would be required for .308, and I know the Israelis and Norwegians did that; but what else, if anything, is changed? Also, are there any other ca...

I think it would be neat to get some WWI German Cannon in the mix, but that's just me..

If he's still doing 6k for getting a gun up and working, with a registered plate, do it. I haven't seen a plate for sale anywhere in some time. Does that include riveting, bluing, fitting it, etc, I assume? If so, that's not bad.

I wonder if he has stuff for other guns? Schwarzlose?

If Erb does not, I *may* be able to find one. I'll keep you posted....

IF you and I can both make it next march, we'll have to try to set up near each other, the maxims have to stick together!

Wow that's great!!!! I'm planning to make the one in March, I wish I'd been able to make this one... Do you have any pics of the guns close up? Or firing all together? THat's awesome!!!

Wow! That's a nice kit! You need to build that as a live gun, get a sideplate!!!! Try erb, he may have a few left... That's nice! Your collection looks great!

What kind of maxim?

A very similar type can was used with the MG08, early in WWI and before, it held 2 belts, and this was probably where the design for these later cans came from, minus the divider that was in the actual ammo cans.

Count me in for one spider sight, if you do this!

also count me in for an AA tripod adaptor.

Some more pictures from the OFASTS shoot, OK

Wow, neat pictures, I'm really torn- it's pathetic and sad that they've been welded & ground up into deacts, but theres some neat stuff there...but are the gun laws so sad over there that you have to deactivate Steyr-Hahn's and Gew 98's??? I knew they were ridiculous, but...

We really had a good time, I'll try to post some more pics-

Ok, Im new here, I like this, and I'm getting an MG34. If I want to buy it, how do I do that?

Some pics of the Maxims, lots of fun!

Wow! Nice set, an S&H gun! I love it! I've got a Spandau, and a D.W.&M.F. one. I love the things! Nice aircraft gun, the reason they're cheaper is that they're often hard to get to fire- just like you said, the trigger. I've heard that some of them, sadly, had the registered plates yanked and put on...

Pretty neat stuff! I like the drum, that's very nice. I've got several, and I'm not at all sure that's repainted post war; the colors on them change dramatically from lot to lot, and all the definate post war repaints I've seen have been darker, not light like many of the WWI drums. Some definate WW...
