Wow,

That is nuts!

Hi Guys,

Its been a while...what are post war painted Austrian army tripods going for these days? WH 42 dated fsu, pretty much original aside for the terrible shade of green!

Cheers

Hey Guys,

I changed my TNW spring out as well for an original spring from a full auto bolt I had, huge difference.

Now if I can just figure out a cure for the trigger I will be a happy man. :-)

Cheers

Thanks Matt, Bergflak (Reidar) has also confirmed this... This one came with the MG13 sold from Germany to Portugal, and never saw any German service. It has the typical pre 1939 camouflage. The typical set-up for the MG34 was a standard 300 round box with two of these cans. The Petroluem cans are s...

Hi Guys,

Can anyone identify this oil can? I know its for the MG, but which one and with the camo paint what year? I assume its early.

Any and all pieces considered. PM me for my contact details...cash waiting

No connection to the seller, thought I would pass the info on about this MGz.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys, will dive deeper into it tonight when I get home.

Cheers

Would Any one know if the markings on this stock are correct? I assume they are post war markings? I am refering to the 5-111-23380 stamped number Markings on reciever: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_scMSK_N6E3w/TM3AEh0hnnI/AAAAAAAAASc/KrzaZaiv2CU/s800/IMG_6211.JPG Markings on stock: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_s...

Wow,

I have to admit, I like how he keeps his shop so nice and clean. I'm sure he tells his friends he could eat off the bench its so clean.

Hey, Thanks Michael, I figured that was the way. I'm waiting on the MG34 first, burn up some 8mm with that before attempting a build. Perhaps sometime in the spring I will dive into it. Not really bashing Marstar, have bought lots of stuff from them over the years, it just peevs me off there website...

Michael, Silly question, your in British Columbia? How are you importing all the nice bits and pieces to make your build? I thought any mg parts wer Verboden to import, that is if you can find a seller to import into Canada. Cheers from the East Coast... BTW, I made an offer on that MG34, just waiti...

Hey BC Guy...this one was purchased from Marstar, but its being sold private sale now.

Prices...

I can purchase the one in the photos for $3000 CDN. I know its a deal, I was just concerned if these TNW reworks had any serious issues.

Sounds like I can't go wrong with it...

Just a general question about TNW's S/A MG-34 I have one lined up to purchase here in Canada, any good or bad points to consider before making the plunge? What is their S/A set-up like? There is ZERO information on their website and the piece I'm looking at purchasing is about 1200 miles away, so no...

Nice Post...

That is just cool!

Cheers...

Guys,

A link to the Canadiangunnuts forum, an execellent thread on the step by step disassembly of a 1945 manufactured Brno MG34, Tons of photos....

Ed,

I realized that after I posted and of course on this forum, you cannot go back and correct typos!

How common was the mis-match of dates on these?

Well,

I passed on this MGz40.

There will be a better one out there that is more original. I really wanted a MGz34 anyhow.

Cheers and thanks for all the input. As usual, everyone is more then helpful on items like this.

Frank,

Good question on the additional accessories for the scope. I will ask the seller. I would assume he would have had them in the photos he supplied me though...

Stand by
