MG34 bolt question

[me6_130]

Hello Ace,

I think I've found the pic you mean...but not sure it is the same item. This one looks like a very early MG34, and would have a cocking handle with a rounded head...I think.

Thanks Carles!
That's the one I meant!
So if spaniards didn't upgrade them it seems that germans had at least the idea of doing so
The manual dates from 1941 if I properly recall

Could it not be a Waffenmeister tool, to make it more comfortable to pull the handle back? Perhaps it is only an accesoire inserted in the handle.
