Product Description
Original Item: MG34 Barrel Carrier (Laufschützer 34)
Not the actual item pictured
Includes:
- 1 x MG34 Barrel Carrier NOT CONVERTED FOR USE WITH MG42 BARRELS. Amongst collectors there are typically referred to as "full round" carriers since they have not been modified with the MG42 conversions plates.
- Late pattern with the sheet metal inserts vs. the earlier aluminum inserts.
- The latch and inserts work properly to hold the barrel.
- These came out of Yugoslav arsenals and were typically repainted after WW2. Slings are post war as well
-
Condition: Low Grade but working condition with some dents, bends, rust, welds, worn or broken slings, and/or other surface blemishes generally as pictured. * The latch and inserts work properly to hold the barrel.
-
Most of these were built without the hold-open bar but ones that have them may be bent in this grade. This feature was discarded in later production barrel carriers, typically in 1942-end.
