Looking to buy a fully functional MG34 Lafette Tripod

I want to mount an MG34 onto an MG3 Lafette tripod. I have the TNW adapter block for the barrel shroud latch, but was wondering how to modify the trigger lever to be able to switch between the lower portion of the MG34 trigger and the upper portion to have semi and full capability like the original Lafette 34 has. Has anyone done this and could you describe and maybe even post a photo of how you did it, or does anyone know of someone who makes an adapter for this. Thanks in advance.

(this pic from BRP) This is definitely one of the most impressive upper receiver for the ar15 family, all German mg34 WWII parts except the US made receiver. This durable milled steel upper receiver alters the method of feed from magazine-only to belt-only and the caliber to 8mm Mauser or 308 ( requires 308 conversion kit, still available from BRP). It requires no modification to your lower receiver. Uses same push pins like the standard AR-15 / M16 upper receiver. Each XMG comes complete with all parts except for the lower receiver. It is capable of semi-auto-fire-only operation with AR-15 and variant weapons and selective-fire with M16 and variant weapons but may not be used on transferable machine guns (but can be used on a legal post sample m16 lower). It has a cycle rate of 700-1000 rounds per minute. The XMG is fed from MG34/42 50-round metal belts, two or more of which can be joined end to end. Its design is based on the MG-34 and it utilizes some parts from the MG-34. Most important are the bolt head, barrel, feed cover/tray, and muzzle parts. BRP XMG 34 8mm belt-fed upper for AR15 lower. Excellent condition and runs great too! Approximately 500 rds fired.

Hello, For sale I have three (3) MG34 barrels. All three are in nice condition with very nice bores. I'm asking $175 shipped o.b.o. EACH. If you are in PA or Eastern OH I we may be able to arrange a FTF sale. Please note that the first two photos are more accurate representations of what these barrels look like in person. The second two photos have had some adjustments made to try to make the markings more visible. Trade items being sought: Swedish K parts or tubes, semi STEN conversion parts, TNW Suomi, or other SMG items. Thanks for looking! EDIT: Edited to add "each" to the price. I copied the post from another forum I use and had lowered the price for this forum. In changing the price language I may not have made it clear that the pricing was for each bbl. EDIT: Top barrel, 4631, is SOLD.
