I was interested for the purposes of reencating to convert one of TNW's 34's to .308 calibre. does anyone know what is necessary to do that and where to get the parts? I know the israeli's have been using them in that calibre, but thats all i know
thanks

mg 34 to .308
Hi John,
I do not believe thet the Israel Army used them in 7.62x51mmNATO/.308....they were used by them in 8x57mm.
Now the norwegien Home-Guard used the MG34 for several years and converted many from 8x57mm to 30/06 (?) and then to 7.62x51mmNATO.
If you are trying to convert to .308 for live fire....try Ohio Ordnance Works who use to make adaptor-kits and spare barrels in .308.
If you are trying to convert to firing .308 "Blanks"......my suggestion would be to read the "Blank-Adapting the MG34" in the "MG34 section here (try "search......saves me from typing so much at my age). Thanks.
If you come up with speciffic questions after you read the blank-adapting "thread"...add a question at the bottom of that thread....then we can keep this updated........correct?
