Looking for an affordable source for the small screws that hold the ejector-plate onto the MG34 REceiver. These small metric-thread screws are suppose to be replaced when changing ejector-plates or any time they come lose........so who has them for sale?
Also, as a small "standard-hard-ware" type metric-screw.....what is the "catalog" size/length/head-type and exact thread pitch?......maybe these things can be bought in boxes of 50-100 each.....??
Be safe, RichardS.

Who has MG34 Ejector-Plate Screws?
I have a TNW MG34SA that the screws kept coming loose and got buggered up.I took them to the local (small) hardware store and they helped me match up the threads.TNW were standard I imagine Full auto would be metric. I baught the shortest (1/4") flat head screws and still had to trim them so they wouldn't protrude into the bold raceway. They worked great.

This is exactly what I did when my TNW 34 had both screws break off in the receiver. I was lucky they were US standard and found some counter-sunk screws in the same size. I did have to trim them. They work good so far.OGRE wrote:I have a TNW MG34SA that the screws kept coming loose and got buggered up.I took them to the local (small) hardware store and they helped me match up the threads.TNW were standard I imagine Full auto would be metric.

I had one come out of one of my full auto 34's and it was a bitch to find. I called all the usual suppliers and no one had any. I lucked out and found a cut reciever at a gun show that had the screws ($25). Well worth it, but my other gun lost one. What I did on that one was use stainless pop rivets. Rivet the ejector plate in place, and gently remove the potrusions in the bolt rail area. That gun runs like a champ and if I need to change the Ejector Plate, I just drill out the center of the rivet and repeat above procedure.
It seems to work on my gun.
