World War II Nazi MG-34 Fully Automatic Class III/NFA Light Machine Gun

This is an example of a German MG-34 light machine gun that was used throughout WWII by all German forces. This example was manufactured in 1943 by the BRNO factory in Czechoslovakia and is correctly stamped "dot/43" on top of the barrel jacket. These were developed prior to WWII by the Rheinmetall company with fielding being started in 1934/35. They were an excellent and extremely reliable light/medium machine that featured all machined parts that were, in many cases, hand fitted with exacting tolerances. However, they proved to be too costly and time consuming to produce under the continuing demands of WWII. They were eventually replaced by the later MG-42 which exhibited the war improvements of a stamped and welded/riveted receiver and some stamped internal parts. The top of the barrel jacket is marked with serial number "1499c" which is also stamped on top of the freed tray cover, the buttstock extension, and buttstock. It is currently missing the complete bolt and recoil spring assembly, and it has the original folding bipod, front sight and tangent rear marked 2-20 (200-2,000 meters) and is fitted with the wooden buttstock. It is not uncommon to find these type of weapons with missing or mismatched bolt assemblies as that is what was removed by either the Germans or the capturing GI. This weapon is complete with a leather sling.

ConditionFair as modified, incomplete with traces of its blued finish on the action and top cover area with the complete barrel jacket, barrel and bipod assembly having an old green camouflaged painted finish. The walnut buttstock is in very fine condition with light handling marks overall with a clear sharp serial number stamped on the left side. The top cover has been dented in a little, and the latch will not lock into the receiver. The charging handle is welded in place. NOTE: This item is restricted as a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) that is classified as a "Curios or Relic" as defined in 27 CFR, 478.11. These weapons are still subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
