APEXgunparts Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 The MG34 is a fun gun to shoot. Not much to adjust on it, so they tend to demand a select types of ammo. Good belts help too. Nice that they have a box it all fits into! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 (edited) Agreed, MG34....still my dream gun and one of top 3, probably based on the multiple configurations and endless accessories available. Edited January 30 by johnsonlmg41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MS Collector Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Picking a favorite is tough; there are so many fascinating NFA items to choose from! I am very much a history buff who is into the "old stuff", so perhaps (??) my favorite is the WWI German Bergmann LMG 15nA . . . a "bullpup" type design that was 80-100 years ahead of its time (IMO). From what I have read, the German military found the Bergmann LMG 15nA to be a better design than the MG 08/15, but phased out the Bergmann and concentrated on 08/15 production becuase the 08/15 was already in service in larger numbers and had so many parts that are interchangeable with the MG08.

Thank you, the MG-34 is a nice gun. It came from OOW some years ago. I have a good range of accessories and spare parts for it. Never have found the right deal on a tripod though. APEX has a good supply of original barrels on hand. MG34 parts, manuals and barrels Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first glance it looks like a mini Solothurn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 (edited) ...and decades ahead of it's time. The sights look a bit fragile and the bipod would probably provide more stability if it were mounted a bit further forward but the location is in line with the contemporary German practice on the MG08/15. For 1915 though it's truly revolutionary. I've never ever heard off much less seen one before.

PTRS-14.5 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 One that I regret ever selling.. Original AR18S Sterling Shorty. I'm still hunting it back down... LOL Charlie A&O C3 PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hammer Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 That’s a pretty rare gun there. Considering there were only a little over 1100 AR18s produced and probably only a few shorties in that total. I personally have never seen one although I do have a regular AR 18.

Definitely a strange and interesting firearm. Did you see the Forgotten Weapons videos on the PM63? Ian really disliked it but he dislikes stocked pistols in general. In the At the Range video there's a clip of another shooter bouncing the slide off his Oakleys. Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After thinking about it a bit more, and some lively discussions on the "K" forum, I've decided to cast my 50 votes for the "K". Just an excellent all around, vintage gun that looks tough, is tough and shoots 100% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zohan Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 I ask myself this question all the time. It really depends on the day... Right now, it's between the MG34 and MP5k. Other days, it's the BREN or AM180. Life is full of important choices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoscoeTurner Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Choosing from those that I own it would have to be either of my two Brownings - 1917A1 or 1918A2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonlmg41 Posted Sunday at 05:54 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 05:54 PM This weeks favorite..... the Vollmer MP. Who doesn't like a built in monopod? With 3 additional 40 round mags and pouch. Have a manual copy and WW2 bring back paperwork with it. Wonder what they would offer in the Cabela's gun library? We'll see what the next few weeks bring, but I'm sure it will be Russian? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian and others will have different opinions. Originally I didn't care much about it.. but I started to like the weirdness about it and after firing it I liked it. Definitely holding it correctly so it doesn't hit your eye pro is true. You don't want to get overly aggressive with it. I suppose I could have chosen my MP5.. just about everyone likes shooting that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
