thats a current issue mg3 armours kit.
the plunger assembly for the extractor is round not square like every old kit imported into this country , also the spring for the plunger is a slightly larger diameter making it useless for us.
the only really good parts to have are the extractors.
IMHO - waste of money you can put together a better kit yourself for less.

You can get these from RTG for $59.00, IMO these are worthless post war kits!

the round extractors don't fit the square extractor bolt head, either. I got my kit for $20. I figured the firing pins and ejector rods were worth that. Without a modern bolt head, the extractors are a great decoration on a keychain - nothing more.

I got the big gunners kit/roll from aleg arson+ the extra toll they sell, but I don't know if it is complete as they say "contents may vary from pic" guess I will need to post a pic so you guys can tell me what the tools are

Tom R,

Is the Gunners Kit you purchased the one with all the tools, cleaning supplies, and oil cans in a pocketed, canvas pouch with leather sling? If it is, it sounds like the one I have that is post war Yugoslavian. Actually, the contents I have in my kit are very similar to the WWII German tools. I think I paid $30 for mine a year or so ago.

One item in my kit is the carbon scraper; this thing is great for cleaning the interior of the booster!

YES THATS THE ONE, the yugo doesn't bother me, it all looks the same just cheaper

here is a link to the page, at $39 I think it is worth it think mine was cheaper with the gb a while back http://www.mg34.com/Mg_42.html think it actually looked unissued, just some mildew/mold on the leather
