Could any of you nice people help me. I am going to buy an MG34 in a few weeks and I have a
choice out of 100 that are being imported from Russia. They are all in very good condition
and the price will depend on markings present (from $1100 to $1300). Is there a particular
manufacturer I should ask for or should I just ask for a good one that's not been mucked about
with and has good markings on it. These are in the UK from Ryton arms, before anyone gets
excited! I will post pics when I get it in about 4-5 weeks.
Thanks
I need help choosing MG34

In my opinion, if you have a choice:
1) look for an original, nonrefinished gun
2) if they are all refinished or all original, look for an early coded gun, such as BSW. BSW is the only manuf code in which the letters actually stand for the factory name and are not just a random letter code. The most common code found here today is DOT. Look for BSW, AR, BNZ, s/243 or some other early code
3) look for a milled top cover and 4-hole barrel jacket.
