I saw on their website that Centerfire systems is now selling TNW MG34 receivers. About $1900.

I don't reenact but I do have a TNW MG34 and it looks like the real thing. It should be good for reenacting.

Does anybody know how to replace the spring? There is a pin in the gripstick that holds it. Is it pressed in? and how do you remove it?

I ordered my receiver last August, got it in December. It was around $1800.00 with the semi build kit. Sent it back to TNW with the kit, barrel shroud, receiver pieces, and gripstick in January to have them build it and finally received it back in May 2006.

Took them 5 months to build my kit. The results were worth the wait... Total cost with kit was ~$2800...

It has the original ejector though when I got it back from TNW it did have a ding in it. I have a spare so I will replace it. Thanks...

On occasion, my TNW receiver + parts kit MG34 will flip the ejecting cartridge case around but not eject, this causes a jam as the bolt tries to load the next live round.

Is there a cure for this?

I have been using 50's Yugo so I don't know if this ammo related.

Is there a way to repair the dust cover door latch wire? How is the pin removed that retains the latching wire in the grip stick? Is the pin pressed in?

Thanks.

Thanks!! found the latch in the grip stick wasn't engaging the cover. So I tried bending it a bit and it promptly broke...

Any quick fixes for a broken door cover latch?

Thanks

Does anyone have any pictures of how the dust cover door is installed on an MG34. The notches in the receiver and cover on mine would mean that with the door, with the spring installed, would be forced open. There is no latch that would hold the door closed like on the AR15. Thanks... BTW, I have an...

Update: TNW has finished my MG34 and it is on its way!!! Finally, I sent the parts to TNW for machining in late December. So it looks like the wait is about 5 months.

My kit and receiver have been at TNW since December and I don't think I am even at the front of the line.

A hammer and chisel will remove some of the looser slag.

Mine is also on the way, should be here Tuesday. I reserved a spot on the waiting list back in August.
