What is the procedure to break down an MG34 bolt. thanks

Here is a pic from last weeks Torrance Tactical. Two MGs in the photo. Wehrmacht prepares to defend the pig pen village from Allied assault. It is all in a days work. We are prepared for anything.

I tried setting the Lafette up a couple of ways. It wasnt the best position, being on the steps out of the trench, but with this arrangement for the Lafette, it gave great stability and a good field of fire. Practicality over looks. It was a pretty well hidden position as well. With the legs folded ...

The Lafette was much more stable with the legs folded down than up. I tried both ways, and it was a more stable platform with this arrangement, though it certainly looked otherwise.

Here is the last one I am going to post so I don't bore you guys. Yes, I don't have the correct tool box and P38 holster on my belt, this was my first reenactment with the MG, but I do have them now! There is nothing like running full belts through your MG, like she was meant to do.

Here is a photo of an MG42 on a Czech OT-810 which is being converted to look like an SdKfz251 D model. This is not my photo, but it was taken last March at the GAP II reenactment at Fort Indiantown Gap, PA. 7th Kompanie Grossdeutschland.

Appreciate the comments, I like to have a photo taken that captures a scene, says something, and is realistic to the period we are recreating. The link for the photos does not work, but the website is up and running. lots more photos such as these. Try this link http://www.sdkfz251.com. This site is...

Here is another one. Just a regular digital camera, 7 megapixel.

There was snow on the lense, so it created a dreamy scene.

For more reenactment photos see my website, http://www.sdkfz251.com lots of reenactment photos on page 5 and 6.

Russian Hiwi is impressed with the MG42 and now realizes why he is better off on this side of it. 7th Kompanie Grossdeutschland, on the Ostfront.
