This one’s not so much a “build” as some of the others because I went ahead and ordered a complete semi auto reciever from TNW. Well after almost a year it finally came in, and after about 2 hours of deburring (ordered it in the white) I took stock of what needed to happen for this project. My parts kit was missing a few small parts like the mainspring and couple pins, so I ordered those and got em. It was missing the bipod so I still need to source that.
The reciever needed the spigot up front that the barrel shroud hooks to, typically builders cut originals off the receiver chunk from an original gun then clean it up and weld it in, I fabricated the post from scratch (obtained some original prints offline). A couple minor milling operations on the original bolt modifies it for semi auto only. Also fabbed a new top cover retainer pin. Also A minor mill job and conversion to rollers on the trigger/grip assembly to convert it to semi.
Had to rivet in cam locks into the reciever, which wasn’t bad.
All I need now is to weld in the reciever spigot and I should be ready to test fire
The MG34 has always been on my list as I always loved the look of it as a kid, both war movies and in Star Wars
