I am just curious, how many on this list own an original full auto not rewelded or built up MG34? Thanks

Don't know what you mean by "built up." I have a registered mg34.

I was asking about original MG34's such as the C&R type or dealer samples using original uncut recievers. In other words MG34's using all original unaltered factory parts. I am curious to know how many owners of original MG34's frequent the forum.

I also have a C&R MG-34.....along with a C&R MG-42.

Thanks for the responses, I wanted to see how many of us were on here. It seems the full auto crowd is very much in the minority here.

I have some c&r MG 34s also a premay. I'm on here when I get the chance.You guys on this sight are engineering geniuses.

I just wish there were this many MG42 & M53 receivers around prior to 86. There would be a lot more registered MG 42s around today.
I worked for a 07/02 back then and we tried to find some with no luck.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I must report that I am quite bummed out today. While I do have a mg34, it came with quite a bit of sacrifice, and I got mine when it only cost $18K. Only $18K. Doesn't sound like much if you say it fast enough, but it is. Anyway. I can't say more, but today I visited two friends of mine that have been big time collectors for years. It would make you guys sick: they have mg's here, there, in this corner, that corner, every corner. All C&R and no junk. I saw at least 6 mg34s today: three with milled topcovers and 4-hole jackets. I won't even mention the mg42s, 08s, mg81s, Brens, Thompsons, amnesty registered AK47s and other stuff. It was interesting to see the things that are out there. It would be more interesting if it were mine, but like many, I came late to the FA game and am pretty much priced out of the market ( unless I can prove I am Anne Nicole Smiths love daddy and that kid is mine). Slim hope there, I must also admit.

Reichpapers,

Thanks for helping get this thread back on track.

I have one, original C+R. All matching but the barrel. Bolt is too worn to use untill I rebuild it. Got plenty of spare parts.

Thanks. What year and code?

I have original C&R 936 1940 that is mostly matching barrel is not.

Have a C&R transferable, all matching dot 44 MG34. Friendly New Guy

Thanks for posting, guys. My MG34 is a C&R dfb 41.

If you guys dont mind, what did you pay for such an honor?

Mine is a pre 86 dot 44, paid 350.00 for it from Armex.

Cruiser, For a transferable MG34 that a private person can own it the USA it cost around 25,000 to 30,000 US $ Some could be a little more or less. There are dealer only MG lke the pre 86 that glass has which runs about half the transferable MG cost, he got a good deal a long time ago I guess. In the USA there are different types of dealer only MGs but my info here is just the basics.

$350.They you to sell them for the price of a parts set,now I'm feeling sick.

I have a pre-86 dealer sample dot-coded nonmatching.
