OK I thought it was time I tried my hand at building my own MG34. I have converted a zib MG42 to airsoft, converted my MP40 to an MP41 and sawed up the wife's pine dresser to make 2 weapons chests, so in need of a new project I am building a MG34. Since I do not have access to fancy machinery this is being built by hand with my drill, angle grinder and dremil. Materials will be aluminium- tube, box tube, plate, steel tube and the frame of my sons old bike . As for assembling it I am using rivets, small nuts & bolts and araldite. Below is a pic of my progress so far. The barrel is 1.5" of aluminium tube, with the back end and smaller tube from my sons bike, the flash hider is made from the same 1.5" tube. The foresight and flash hider lever is made with aluminium pieces sandwiched with araldite and pinned using pop rivet shafts. A spring from a disposable lighter and a piece of a rounded nail is inserted inside the foresight so it works as per a real forsight (see diagram).-- attachment is not available ---- attachment is not available --
