WTS, MG34 Parts Kit, need a good quote on Value...thanks!
Posted: Sat Aug 25, 2012 6:19 pm
Hello everyone,
I have some spare MG34 parts for sale (partial kit), and I am wondering as to the
current value of these parts. This kit is coated in cosmoline still and is most
of a bpr manufactured WW2 MG34. I know the days of matched number MG34 kits
for $495 are well over and done with and I'm requesting input on current realistic values.
Keep in mind, some calls and lots of research have indicated to me that MG34
parts kits have been going anywhere from the $1,500-$2,000 range up to the
uber matching kits with milled topcovers, etc that have been pushing the $4,000 cieling.
This forum was mentioned to me as a possible resource to get good valuation numbers, so
here I am asking my question of all of you MG-34 guys out here.
What IS here is the wood buttstock and recoil buffer assembly, topcover
and internals, feed tray, trigger group, front and rear sights, bi-pod and
vented barrel jacket. Major parts with serial numbers intact are the barrel
jacket and topcover coded bpr 6017. Date has been obscured as it was a Russian
capture. The force-matched barrel that came with it was re-numbered to 6017,
yet the barrel was a nice dot 1941 dated barrel with many solid waffenampts.
The finish on this kit is VERY nice, butt stock wood is nice, and yet missing any
really good dates on the top cover and barrel jacket. Lots of cosmoline, see photos*...
So, what I have is everything except an 8mm barrel, charging handle, bolt and recoil
spring.
I'd love to sell this to a new owner/gunner and I'd like to assess what
this should be selling for.
Thanks again for your input!
