Steyr MG74 Belt Fed

[@Timo-y8p]

You can switch the bipod to the rear for more traverse angle as well. Lovely video. Brings me back to the time I carried it in the Bundeswehr. Thank you.

[@XRING]

Thank you! 🙏

[@marvinlongino3300]

Yes Ray your "Guten Morgen " was absolutly on point. Best wishes from Germany.

It is not roller delayed, it is roller locked. It is short recoil operated. What the german engineers figured out, was that the rollers also reduced the bolt speed when unlocking. That was the inspiration for the development of the Cetme rifle, that would become the G3.

[@XRING]

Great comment and thanks for that information!

[@steelwolf411]

Don't forget about the roller delayed version of the MG42 known as the MG45.

[@jondavidmcnabb]

Incredible piece of equipment. Back in the very early 90's I was a platoon Machine Gunner for my unit. I was both an Expert M60 and M240 gunner. We got the opportunity to train with our German sister unit. They called it the MG3 and we trained and qualified for our German "Schützenschnur" medals. It was a freaking bullet hose compared to the M60. Crazy fast cyclic rate. We hooked the hot barrel out with an unfired round. The new barrel is cold.

All that freedom makes me cry tears of joy.

[@joaquin-jacknava2696]

Thank you Ray for showing us this video. Seeing you full of excitement was a treat. Really enjoyed the video. Have a good week sir.

[@Tex_I_Can]

Morning Ray! I sure missed the boat back in the 80's. Living in pretty much isolation in the desert will do that.

[@XRING]

I hope you have been well Tex-I-can. It’s been a while. 👍🏼

[@johnrollins2820]

Morning All great video hope you have a great week Sir

[@landonbroek5101]

Yep more of this … great video Ray.

[@ericrumpel3105]

....NICE !!!! - shot my first in "MG" in 1980's.....the MG-34, about a year later the MG-42.....nothing really comes close once you fire one of them. Your 1974 model/MG-74 is a beauty!!!, if I remember correctly, the MG-3 is latest issue......

[@Airsoftplayer555]

As an owner of a MG42 CRA 43' and MG 49/59 model this video is awesome! Very in-depth and scratches my mg itch. Glad I found this channel. Thank you!

[@jacobdeem8187]

I've never seen Ray so excited lol

[@ericbergfield6451]

Nice presentation, I don't think I've seen a breakdown of it before, thanks

[@pm-sv9kh]

the same as the German MG3 in my service time , makes fun, great mashinegun from HK, the steyer rocks too

[@taylormartin4346]

Why does KZbin hate fun... Thanks for the video Ray. MG42s rock

[@chojinnppp]

Great walkthrough

[@BigT27295]

A work of art. 🎉

[@hopewilliams6705]

This is awesome 👍!!!

[@andrewforward3812]

By the way Ray, Steyr did produce the MG42 in WW2 as well. By chance I got the MP40, STG44, K98 and MG42 all made by Steyr during WWII.

[@AndyOG2000]

Guten Morgen and Steyr pronunciation = perfect. Beste Grüße 👋

[@TonyArion]

You get to shot some really cool guns.

[@SuperVonKiller]

Wow! That's a beauty!!!

[@ericlindholm7510]

Ray goes brrrr! 👍

[@carlosrodriguez-wh2uf]

Thanks, great video, more of this

[@2S1L3NT]

That gun is Art ❤

[@MrOttovon1]

I want one! Thanks for the vid.

[@drubradley8821]

That is amazing!!!

[@noseyparker6969]

Great content lads!

[@hesa3656]

Thank You Sir and Mr. M for sharing. I am glad you touched on lubing the braided spring. Did you have the Otto NoizeBarrier Micros under the hearing protection. I will be keeping some foams handy as backup. The Otto's seem to decharge quickly under use (mine). Was there an electric vehicle arriving around the time you mentioned the bipod drawing blood. 👍🇺🇲

[@XRING]

Hey Hesa, You are quite perceptive. Between Tony and I we have a lot of electrics and love them. My Ottos last all day without issue.

[@Tcgunner]

Need more. Views on this guys

[@z11181957]

Thanks

[@trevorhawkins8757]

Makes me sad being born in 1993. Missed out on all the “cheap” machine guns. I bought a M10 with a Lage upper for 6500 dollars in 2016. My now wife thought I was insane. It’s almost tripled in value since then. Can’t shoot your 401K lol.

[@tylarhaugan7908]

Ray these types of vids i like could you possibly do cleaning vids in machine guns.

[@XRING]

For sure but have always avoided this kind of content because of KZbin rules. This is the first video that I have age restricted. Let me see how it does. If it only gets a few hundred views it won’t be worth the time to film and edit. 👍🏼

[@michaelgeorges3769]

Random question, but did your HK 416 video get deleted? Love the content!

[@XRING]

A lot of my machine gun videos did. 😞

[@michaelgeorges3769]

Hate to see that happen

[@vnyc88]

same video on rambler with full auto and no edits? can we see it? link please

[@XRING]

Rattler ??

[@charlesaferg]

Isn't this almost half the ROF as the original?

[@jetabyss13]

The cooler MG3

[@kt2816]

The germans in ww2 used a tripod and optics on that item.

[@mauricen9926]

Did not get a notification in my feed for this vid

[@XRING]

Yes, it’s because it had to be age restricted because of the machine gun content .

[@russr]

when i shot a mg34, i went threw a 200 round belt, my teeth hurt from the pounding...

[@lukasstrne3780]

What a terrible job!!😂😂😂... about as cool a job as you could have!❤❤❤

[@pogo458]

That was no AR buffer spring😳

[@ericrumpel3105]

🤣🤣🤣YES SIR !!!!!,....& CERTAINLY NO ar POS what so ever right.

[@jameskirk3]

1.6k views? Good old YT I guess...🤦

[@XRING]

Yes, they hate machine guns.
