Ryo Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 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. Edited October 23, 2020 by Ryo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted October 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 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 October 15, 2020 by Ryo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryo Posted October 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 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.

Ryo Posted October 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 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.
