mg34 panzer bipod mount (ground kit)

[Artie in Miami]

Well...someone got lucky...I knew if I waited long enough, that I would see one of those removable bipod mounts for the panzerlauf MG34 (ground kit). One sold on ebay this week for around $1,000. I have only seen one other in the 5 years that I have been chasing mg34 parts, and that was on a complete panzer MG34 full auto at knob creek for around $22K (either Ohio Ord or Knights Armament...one of those front tables). I still have not seen one of the removable anti-aircraft sight mounts for the panzerlauf being sold anywhere. Some really neat stuff shows up on ebay from time to time. Three years ago, I found a very early reversible MG34 feed tray...a real one...not a modified late model...it was $100...but it is the only one that I have seen in my 5 years of looking through cosmoline covered parts and online sites.

All that I need to find now is a DT-34 (Doppletrommel w/ adjustable springs)...I know of two guys that have them on this board...they taunt me with pics every so often...one of these days !! ( and the anti-aircraft doohickey for the panzer ground kit)

Artie,

You can see both if you drive over to the Manatee County Gun and Archery Range in Bradenton, FL

I am not sure that I understand...are they on display or for sale ?? Is it the saddle drum or the antiaircraft sight ( "you can see both") thanks

Artie,

Just on display. I have no desire to sell.

I saw two panzer mounts at the last Knob Creek and bought both of them: one was original for $350 and the other was a replica for $100. Someone I knew wanted the replica so I sold it to him for what I paid for it. The MG34 for sale with the armoured barrel jacket and ground kit was Ohio Ord.
