Thanks for taking time to read this. I just received the two MG 34 kits I mentioned in a previous posting. Question, in looking at the barrels both of which have good bores, I looked for markings, ( on all the parts ) but due to a posting I read previously, there is concern about IDF barrel extensions being made from the wrong material or to the wrong hardness? If you are knowledgable on this topic, would you please look at the photos attached of the barrels that came with my kits, and let me know if one or the other is in need of replacing, I intend to build one of the kits up as a semi-auto.
The lighter finished extension is attached to a 1942 dated, BNZ ( Steyr ) barrel, this extension has the "N" stamps on the shoulder, it appears that it has a waffenamt that was partially obliterated.
The darker one with the "Ca" is attached to the barrel with the possible Star marking.
