MG.34 Disassembly (this is going to get heavy)

Very nice pics!

Somebody tell me about that trigger........

If I remember correctly, the bottom trigger is for single shot. Supposedly the gunner would simulate rifle fire, then when the troops drew in they would pull the top trigger and unleash hell on the other soldiers.

I've got a Yugo M.53 on the way (probably still be a few months away) that I'll do a series on as soon as it arrives.

Awesome, thanks! Even though I can't own one, nice to be informed about history.

Man, that thing has crazy amounts of machining.

I should do one of these following your formula on my 1919A4.

Yes please, I started doing one on a friends 1919A4 but I wasn't very confident with the gun and kind of boched it up.

E is for single shots, D is for full auto. My German is not really good, but I seem to recall E being Einzfuer and D being Duafuer, or something like that.
Page 24 of this US manual describes it a bit
