mg34 wont eject

Post by mdm2 »

My 2nd mg 34 will not eject, the bolt moves free everything is free moving, it seems the TNW spring in the bolt is too tight to allow it to come out of lockup after firing, or maybe a booster issue, im not sure, could use some advice, i thought about putting the stock spring back in the bolt, it cycles fine by hand, but makes no attemp to unlock after firing

finally fixed it, swaped everything from my other and still wouldnt work, then realized the recouperater hole had a ridge in it, very small but caused binding with barrel movement, it dropped right in and moved ok without the front half on, took a split blank and some sandpaper and my trusty air grinder and works good now
