Andy, not Roy but I'm sure he's going by whatever he's called, lol.

MIne was surprisingly accurate. Granted whatever I could see without magnification at 200 yards I could hit. It looked like I was hitting something the size of a Coke can but likely was 12" or bigger. I could make it jump up or a shiny piece of metal disappear which means I hit it.

Mine is on a rail as well but your method looks better. How did you do it? I drilled and staked a rail on my cover. Accuracy is not exactly sub MOA, lol but good enough for a belt fed MG.

Andy, I'm so glad you are ok. Been praying for you. Crazy things happen. A few years back, my buddy racked an AK and I was forward of his position lying down. Fortunately, he had it pointed up not sweeping me because it ran away and put half a dozen holes in the top of the tent. No one saw it because the line was hot. Interestingly enough, I too had a FA CZ Scorpion that I was renting. It wouldn't fire but one time so I took it apart and remember that I had changed out a trigger spring but incorrectly installed it. After working with it for at least an hour I gave up and put it up. Mine has a hand stop on it instead of a vertical grip but looking at what happened here I'm thinking that I will not offer this gun any longer for rental. It shoots too fast and even with a handstop your hand could sweep in front of it. Fast shoot sub guns are a bit more handful than others. I fully intend on foregoing all subguns and rifles for rental for next year. I am thinking my M2HB .50 and MG34 and that's it! We were the next to the last people loading up Sunday with two of us and it was brutal. We always end up bringing so much stuff and this year only two of us to set up and breakdown. I'm feeling my age already. I understand what You said about glad this happened to you instead of the young boy. I feel the same way about something like this. Oh and BTW, keep the mount you took no charge. I don't need it and it's my get well soon present to you.

Ok thanks!

I picked this up at a Military Surplus store near OFASTS this weekend. My first thought was 1917 or 1919 barrel case but it's a little long for that and two barrels would be rattling around in it. It appears to have an Ordnance cartouche with "6" inside the wheel. Also marked "T-37" with an "A" cartouche. Any idea what this case is for? Maps? Thanks in advance.

Post action STIREP. Shot a pile of .50 BMG, 8mm and .308. My MG34's performed better than they have ever done due to some recent timing issues that I fixed. Unfortunately, there was an accident where someone down the line from me on Saturday night shot himself in the hand. From what I understand, a vertical foregrip came off a subgun and his hand swept in front of the barrel. Not sure how many holes he got but I was told a tourniquet was applied. In other news, I was a few line spots over borrowing an allen wrench and one of the line spot workers for this particular line spot swept by my count five people as he was working on what appeared to be a G18 or something along those lines. I mostly saw it was a Glock and it got pointed in every direction including my head. I can't say I was 100% on this as I swept my best friend with my MG34 while it was on the bench. Everyone makes mistakes. The key is learning and being extra careful. One mistake can change your life forever. Last rant, it's never an AD it's ALWAYS an ND when it comes to improper firearm handling. Drives me nuts when people say Accidental Discharge. Yeah it was accidental but more importantly it was negligence.

Sure. I'm headed to OFASTS but will snap a pic once I get it setup. Everything is loaded up for my 12 hour drive today.

That's an early start! I still have ammo to load and a 12 hour drive. Leaving tomorrow.

I may have to try this if it still runs away after I check it.

On the G3 ground mount, the trigger is activated by a flat piece of metal that can be toggled to either the top or bottom position on the trigger for semi or FA. Correct, 8mm and .308 boosters are different sizes. Mine ran too fast with the .308 booster, little difference with the 8mm but the enlarged booster that BRP sells it slowed it down. I can't see how the dust cover has anything to do with a runaway. In my experience, it's either the: Sear, sear catch on the bolt or in my case the disconnector not being activated. Obviously it could be other things but those are the things I've found to cause this with mine. You can stop a run away by grabbing the ammo link and twisting it.

Thanks!

Ryo, fantastic information. I ordered the TNW which fit perfectly. I appreciate the fact that it is already contoured to the barrel as the BRP one wasn't. I agree that the adapter would be much better suited if it used both holes and had a channel for the spring. Someone should fab these up as I'd buy one for sure. I don't intend on using this tripod for anything other than the MG34 so I cut down the trigger a little and bent the top tab up so it would work. It works perfectly and I can toggle the trigger between full and semi. This mount is perfectly suited for the MG34 as the AA G3 tripod (which I also have) has a tendency to come off the ground and it's almost impossible to keep a cone of fire at distance on a man sized target. Of course the AA G3 tripod would allow you to shoot at drones and planes, neither of which I intend on having a need for lol. Have you ever thought about an ammo feed for the belt? Seems all the old pic's of using the Lafette always have a another man feeding ammo into the gun. I ran mine without feeding the ammo by hand and it seemed to work fine but I'm sure at some point the weight of a full belt will result in a misfeed. Yesterday I took the time to time a new ejector on my bolt. Wow what a difference in smooth operation as I would occasionally have stoppages due to poor ejection. I'm going to order a few more ejectors from BRP as I have two MG34's. Another strange anomaly I discovered yesterday was one of my MG's would run away. I have a new sear, sear spring and good condition bolt body. I switched out my complete fire control group with the other one that was working on my other MG and the runaway gun worked perfectly. I took a look at both FCG assemblies and the L shaped trigger disconnect piece appeared to be longer on one that was working. I had a few disconnector spares and closely inspected them. I discovered some are in fact longer than others! Who would have thought there was a variation in those. The operating clearances of the bolt and those trigger components are likely within the 100 thousand of an inch. I also found that the enlarged booster cone from BRP works much better with my .308 conversion as previously it was too fast. It seemed like it was around 1000 + rpm and was very violent to shoot. Now it seems to be a comfortable 700 to 800 rpm which is much better IMHO. The MG has been so mysterious to diagnose but I keep learning more about it and love this weapon. I noticed the drum won't work with the MG3 tripod and I also discovered one of my charging handles rubs against the tripod as I couldn't fully retract the bolt. Crazy how many variations on parts with these.

Anyone have any idea where I can find new old stock ejector plates? Nothing works like new even with a very slight amount of wear I have one receiver that is malfunctioning like a worn plate. Thanks.

Any idea where I can find new old stock German MG 34 ejector plates and screws? Thanks.

Yes just ordered one earlier today after some Google searching.

Has anyone done this? I have an MG3 tripod that I want to convert to use my MG34. I bought the small QD mount that goes on the barrel jacket of the MG34 from Brian at BRP. Evidently, my machinist skills suck because I tried to mount it yesterday and failed miserably. It seems all I need to do is have that mount welded or drilled and tapped to the MG34 barrel jacket and then modify the MG3 trigger mechanism by cutting it down a little. If anyone has done this before let me know what you did and if I'm on the right track or about to derail. I'd post pictures but I'm ashamed to show what I did to an original MG34 barrel jacket, lol. Slightly destroyed history a little.

Anyone have an M2HB Scope Mount for the QD rear sight base or know where I can find one?

Sound off if you are going to OFASTS coming up June 26th & 27th http://www.oklahomafullauto.com/ I'll be there line spot 45 and 46. I'm the flamethrower guy and will be doing my usual stunt Saturday night. I discovered a way to amp up the flame to about 50 feet and it's quite impressive.

Hi, I'm looking for a Thompson M1 foregrip metal band. If you know where I can find one please let me know. Thanks.

I sent you a PM. Please respond with pics to sales@rebelrifle.com.

Looking for a used Sten 76 GSL integral suppressor for a Sten MKII.

I have an excellent condition inbound from an estate.

I have a WTB add up and was contacted by user marcus120 that christopher.s7867@gmail.com has one for sell. "Christopher Smith" returned my email with a picture and price. The first thing I thought odd was he was responding instantly and every response he gave had, " let me know if you are still interested." So it was a little pushy. I asked for his contact information and he provided: Here is my Address 1718 Cooper Drive Irving, TX 75061 My number (862)-267-4976) let me know if you are still interested. Regards Christopher I ran his name, address and phone number on a database I use at work and he doesn't exist.

Looking for good condition M3 tripods. Please email me sales@rebelrifle.com. Thanks.
