Posted 5 Sep 2020 (edited) I am looking for a MG34 top cover latch screw. Remarkably it has been impossible to find one anywhere. I'm hoping one of you MG34 guys have one could help me out.

Posted 12 Oct 2020 (edited) Update.. the one i had on my MG34 was custom made.. but apparently it was likely made with soft metal,standard 10-32 (should be metric M5), hence the screw stripped today. It doesn't affect the performance of the MG34 but it does risk losing the latch and spring every time I open the top cover. So if anyone has one I would greatly appreciate it if I could buy it from you. Thanks. Edited 15 Oct 2020 by Ryo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 16 Oct 2020 Still looking. Willing to pay top dollar for an original one.. Just the screw.. I can already buy complete/stripped top covers with it. In the meantime I'm just going to get a M5 screw to allow it to be functional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Oct 2020 (edited) Well looks like this is a rare item to find. Still looking, but I now at least have a screw that works.. Thanks to McMaster-Carr excellent specification description. After some work.. Any case if some has a spare original screw they would like to sell,let me know. I'd like to keep it original.. Thanks.
