What do think to my new MG34!

Here are some more pictures, and if anyone would like any more please let me know.

Here are some pictures of the bolt on my MG34, but also with the breech split. To be honest I've only just found out that this could be done on my MG34, as when I'd tried before it had never split, because of a 7.92 round in the breach! Well here they are:
Thanks for looking, Patrick.

Pity the barrel is welded inside. Is the release button (the one to split the receiver from the barrel jacket) also welded in place?

Hi Carles,
unfortunately the release button is welded from the underside, so it cannot split from the receiver. Patrick.

Great looking gun. Nice and clean pictures too. Thank you for sharing. I never get tired of looking at this beast.

Kinda a newbie question on the MG34....

Patty D or anyone else here?

I have a couple of questions about the MG34. One is on the trigger itself what does the "E" and "D" stand for? I assume one if for full auto and the other would be for single shot? Now if you pull on the single fire part of the trigger is it like shooting a rifle or dose it have a different feeling to it?

Nice looking 34, still looking for one at a reasonable price lol...I have a 1943 Mg42 and it would be great to have them both
