MG34 1941 | Old Machine Gun Restoration

[@KlLLERROBOT99]

Well first off this definitely isn't an original MG34/41 as the parts do not match what the Bakelite variants used. The barrel and grip are both incorrect. So this is easier a replica made to look rusted, beat up, and broken or it's a post-WW2 variant created from parts and then used in following conflicts. Additionally, looking at the part of the video that has the stock in full view, it is missing the required waffenamt inspection stamp that is done to indent into the material. Therefore the stock is either again a replica post-WW2 or a faked piece.

[@kanggoo57]

Parts do not match, yes, but pitting like that is basically impossible to do fast for youtube. Dunno how they achieve this

[@KlLLERROBOT99]

@@saaint_aint_a_trendsetter I'm a ww2 history buff. If you claim something that isn't true then it's called faking and lying. I'll always point out people who fake stuff. Like when people trying to claim they found an MP40 magnet fishing in a place that never saw combat with German forces and the weapon looks like it's made out of plastic lmao This obviously isn't a 1941 model. It likely is a demilitarized version that is very very post-war and was made to look like it was pre-war.

Das war keine Restaurierung, sondern der volle chemische und mechanische Vorschlaghammer, um ein glänzendes Teil für das Vid zu präsentieren. Hier wird mit kompletter Missachtung für den historischen Wert gearbeitet. Dazu kommt, dass die meisten Teile höchstwarscheinlich selbst berostet werden. Sieh dir mal die ganzen Thumbnails an, sieht fast immer gleich aus, der "Rost". Bei dieser Fakerei werden jede Menge alte, seltene und historisch wertvolle Gegenstände komplett vandalisiert. Wenn du mal richtige Restaurierung sehen willst, empfehle ich Mark Nowak oder Backyard Ballistics. Letzterer hat auch schon auf die ganzen fake Restaurierungs Kanäle hingewiesen.

[@cryptic_badger795]

👍👍 Ideally it would be nice to know where the MG34 has been for the last 80 years? The MG34 was of course replaced by the MG42 mainly I understand because the latter was cheaper to produce by way of using more pressed steel components. There were also other design changes made, the result of which increased the rate of fire from about 900 rounds per minute on the MG34 to about 1300 rpm on the MG42, which is quite staggering.

[@jansolo55]

@@user1605. for your information and since you seem so intelligent, the MG34 (Maschinengewehr mod.1934) was not at all created for anti-aircraft use at its origin. It was an infantry machine gun, which was then mounted on tanks, then effectively transformed into anti-aircraft weapon, by addition of large-width collimators and probably more efficient ammunition, which could not have had the slightest use in infantry combat.
