MG34 assembly fixture
Posted: Sat Nov 05, 2011 1:30 pm
I needed an assembly fixture for a display MG34 receiver, tried to make it on the mill, but to no avail. The local machine shop made this for me, blanchard ground aluminum from 5/8"X1.5"X14". Even did the side contours. It is dimensionally larger than the bolt, and fits tightly in the bolt track. The 9mm rod is to align the plunger hole. I have tried other fixtures, but they are made from 1/2" material, and align on external features. The bolt track is already about .53" My receiver bits vary quite a bit externally. I traded some welding work for the machine work, so have no idea what it cost. The material was about $15 for 3'. If anyone was interested in something like this, I could ask them what they would charge....Phil
