WTB: Original German WW2 marked belt loader

Thanks for looking. I have a Yugo loader and a modified MG51 Swiss loader to do the loading. I always just looked for functionality in the past years...didn't care how the belts got loaded. As years have past, I've become more interested in firearm and accessory originality. Open to trades or partia...

Re: WTB MG 34or Feed Assembly, Complete or partial

Try the TNW Firearms web site. Go to "other" then "Parts", then "MG34." On the second page you will find feed block complete and parts, reasonably priced. You may need to talk to them to make sure you get exactly what you want. The feed block I received was nearly unused. Good luck.

Re: How to reach Bergflak??

Thanks for the replies. Bergflak replied and I was able to place my order as well as ask several questions which he graciously answered. When my mentor passed away last year, I lost contacts with folks who could help with a wide variety of annoying but non-critical issues. This web site has been ben...

How to reach Bergflak??

Hi,

I've been trying to order sale items from Bergflak but have received no reply to bergflak@hotmail.com. Has he changed his email address. And yes, I've tried to reach him here via a PM as well.

He has an outstanding web site...very informative. Hope he is still accessible.

Re: Problem using Lafette ...HELP!

Thanks for the reply...and thanks for your many translations. I have read and re-read D 124/2 many times but its still confusing. Thinking that the tripod could be part of the cause, I'm ordering a pin wrench to dismount the lafette recoil assembly and inspect it. If your reference to "buffer" was t...

Problem using Lafette ...HELP!

I spent some time at the range today evaluating the MG34. From a bipod, Mobil1 'd parts and ammo links, 11mm b0oster cone, and using early 70's Romanian lacquered steel cased "light ball", the gun ran very smoothly and reliably. THEN, I moved it to the lafette. Not so good. Single shot worked well b...

Lafette tools

I am seeking the wrenches used for maintenance and disassembly of the MG34/42 tripods. (e.g., pin wrenches, 33mm wrench).
Also need tools to complete the MG34 and MG42 gunner's pouches (e.g., mg13/34 52/55 mm wrench, stuck case remover, MG34 broken shell extractor).
Thanks, DC

WTB MG 34or Feed Assembly, Complete or partial

Using the Butz MG34 Manual for terminology, I am in need of a complete "belt slide" (with pawl lever and spring) and/or a complete feed assembly with belt slide and "feeder upper part." Looking for VG+ condition, German markings a bonus. Please send PM with description and asking price.
Thanks

Parts markings

Checking the ordnance codes on line I am unable to ID a solid wood mg42 buttstock. Left side markings are WaA750 and hvq 43. Unfortunately it has several cracks and I'd like to find a replacement eventually. Right now I'm just trying to ID it for my records. Secondly, can anyone tell me what parts o...

Re: Feed tray Info.

Dear Sir: I appear to have two "interim?" feedblocks not shown in you outstanding summary of feed trays and covers. My first MG1 (BRP described as -A1) tray is described by you but has as stamped spacer "jabbed" into the feedplate at the base of the bullet guide and peened. Functions same as welded ...
