Try Robert at RTG Parts.....he has them back in stock new with rivet-sets at $47.50 plus shipping. These are the earlier style where you have a left and a right side rail (for WWII style MG42s).

A Thread on Blank-Adapting/Blank-Adaptors/and............

A lot of people frequent this Board are not only interested in the MG34 and MG42, but are reenactors who would like to use their guns for reenacting and firing Blank-Ammunition.
I have given/mailed a lot of information to "Salt6" for this purpose, and more will follow.
Be safe, RichardS.
