MG34 help
Below is a message that was sent to me, but I don't know enough about the 34 to diagnose the problem.\ I have an original premay sample MG34 I picked up back in February. Well I ended up having to go out of state for a month so I oiled up my MG’s including the 34 and put them in VCI bags before I le...

Suppressor legalized
In the latest budget bill that Trump wants passed as soon as possible (the senate has yet to vote on it), suppressors have been de-registered. If this bill finishes passing in its present form, suppressors will not require registration or the $200 transfer tax. Since manufacturers will have a whole ...

Re: MG42/59 Booster Cone
Booster cone. Also known as the nozzle that goes inside the flash suppressor. Throwing the broken one away was a mistake. Nozzles are made with different size holes and you need the correct size to make the gun function properly. Different size front holes is how the recoil is adjusted to make the b...

Re: Columbia wouldn't accept our deported aliens
I thought Biden said he couldn't do any of this stuff, and it was all congress's fault. We were lied to.

Columbia wouldn't accept our deported aliens
Columbia wouldn't let our planeload of Columbian arrested illegal immigrants. Trump told them 25% tariff, and get your diplomats out of our country. One hour later the Columbian president decided he would accept them.
I think this picture sums it up pretty well.

New guy, the email address this guy gives as a contact doesn't match the email that was used for registering.
I'd use extreme caution in making any deal.

Re: WTB: MG42 Barrel Change Door SCREW (large flathead)
If you get the hole re-threaded and the screw is secure when you assemble it, you can always use black (permanent) loctite on it. Red loctite is good too, but it can be removed by heating to 500 degrees F. That's the temp when it degrades and allows unscrewing it. Or you could just tack weld the hol...

Re: WTB: MG42 Barrel Change Door SCREW (large flathead)
The problem with getting a used screw is that someone getting it out of the door latch will likely break off the peened part that makes it stay in place.

For the cost of a barrel door, someone could set up a CNC machine to make some for you, and then you could sell the extras to recover your costs.

Re: WTB: MG42 Barrel Change Door SCREW (large flathead)
Buying a rivet set and replacing the entire barrel door is also an option. If Rocker doesn't have just a screw, you may be able to find the whole door. The screw is a rivet on the end, with threads in the middle. The rivet part holds it from unscrewing from the door. Often if removed, it's ruined be...

Re: How to use MG34-42 Ranging Bar?
OK, I just went looking. The "ranging bar" is used to calibrate the optical range finder shown on the same page. Each end of the tube on the range finder has a lens. When you look through the eyepiece, the images from opposite ends of the tube are shown one on top of the other. Align the images, and...

Do you know how to post a link to the website page? IMA is one of the worst sites for truthfulness with descriptions. Sometimes they just make up things.

Give a better description or picture of what you're calling a "ranging bar".
