PLEASE! I think my saw cut receiver has it but it does not look like its screwed in....If someone would take a nice picture of the plate and tell me exactly where its located, it would sure help me be 100% on this.

Yeah I am a newbie to the MG34

Thanks guys!

A lot of the WWII German MG34 ejector-plates had the screw-heads soldered-over after they were screwed onto the MG34 receiver. I guess that the Germans felt that it helped insure that the screws did not come loose.

Yeah, yours are probably screwed in, ground flush and staked in the groove.
It's better to be silent and considered a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

They look that way; at first glance that was my thought. But after taking a 6-8 of them apart the screw heads are filed flush then staked.

ak47dennis,
So what you are saying is that the WWII German MG34 Ejector-Plates were screwed on with screws that had "taller" heads.....then filed-flush, and then "staked" ?
