Recoil springs

Post by heckinohio »

I have a 1941 FA gun that I got 20 years ago. It never worked well and I just left it on the shelf w/several other guns from that era. Last year at Knob Creek, Folke M. told me that he thought it needed a new ejector plate which he provided. I was also told to check the barrel return spring. It was very short compared to a replacement. I cut 1/2" from the old spring and put the new one in also, and installed the recoil plate, (no easy task), and now, after gathering dust for 20 years, the gun has become a joy to shoot.......... I need a couple of sets of bolt rollers and a couple of recoil springs. Any help out there???????

I am pretty sure that neither have 34 parts, only 42 and Roberts has ONLY post war. It would be a crime to install a lowly post war part on a WW2 weapon.

IMA has always treated me good. Always got what I ordered and it has always been in the condition described. I have bought 6 MG34 barrels from them and all were in good condition.
