Re: TNW SA MG34 Failure to feed

Problem solved. Getting everything ready and checked over once more for a preliminary tech call to TNW I found my barrel cone nut unscrewed three clicks too loose. That's all it took to re-align the chamber and now I believe it should be perfect. I should have double checked this before, but I guess...

Re: TNW SA MG34 Failure to feed

Tired switching out both tray and top cover. Exact same hang up result occurred. I had crafted a thin piece or copper to fit in-between the rear receiver face and the front face of the loading tray to reduce the height and diameter of the opening on the front of the feed tray, hoping to direct the c...

Re: TNW SA MG34 Failure to feed

The OP knows exactly how to load the SA MG34 initially and does it exactly as you describe other than the spacer nonsense. It' s worked regularly in his other SA 34, just not this one. This one seems to have a issue with the loading tray aperture, receiver edge, or top barrel locking piece not direc...

Re: TNW SA MG34 Failure to feed

My apologies for imprecise word selection. First, extractor is on the bottom of the bolt so I was referring to the piece on the other side of the bolt head. Second, I get it, no offense taken. I do have another one of these which runs fine and I do understand how they operate. So I pull the bolt rea...

Nice, good price, the guy indicated it worked well. When it arrived it was selectively gooped with what looked like a whit...
