I have an original Mg34 transit box for the MG34. I know that among the original items are spare barrel containers and a gunners pouch. Can anyone out there give me an idea what are items are necessary and right to put in it.

The original complete Portuguese kits had the following:

Complete MG34
4 Barrel Carriers
1 Gunners Kit
1 MG Maintnence - Shooting Record Book
1 Sling
1 Action Cover

Ryan

Thank you for info...can you expand on the spare barrel carriers. Were they 1 tube holding 2 barrels or 4 tubes holding single barrels. Please clarify. The number of barrels is clear...just single or double carrier tubes??

I don't have the info your asking for , but I'd like to be the first to say,

this site is where you'll get your answers, we have a ton of knowledgeable guys here like Ryan Schnee, Jbaum, 7.62X51, and many others.

. . . and the coolest little dancing "Welcome" guys anywhere on the net.

The chest had 4 single carriers. Normally the Portuguese guns had 5 barrels that were all serial numbered to the gun and then stamped 1-5.

May I request some pics of your transit box for the 34? I would like to build a reproduction.

Thanks.

Hello,

I sold it in 2005 to a collector in Chicago. I may have photos of it on a CD. I will look today and if I find them post them for you.

There are other posts that deal with the transit chest on this forum and also the building of them. You might have to dig around but they are here somewhere.

Does anyone have a clear picture of the paper label that goes on the inside of the lid of the transit case?

A Portuguese label????? Why would you want to put in that?

It is for a Portuguese army re-enactment unit.Getting ready for the anniversary of the Battle Of ......? ---bil

I'm looking for the one that would be in a German case if they had a case and had a lable on the inside
