MG34 Accessories?

[Selair_Chapman]

Howdy lads,
Just snagged a TNW semi-auto non-restricted MG34 to add to my ww2 collection. Wont have it for a few weeks yet but I am looking for a canvas brass catcher, belts and a drum magazine now. I am more interested in function than collectability given its a new made TNW reciever, so repro accessories would be fine...if such things exist. I understand Yugo and other com-bloc countries made accessories post-war as well, just where would a guy find them today that you can import? I understand they are no-go items from the USA as far as exporting is concerned so US sites seem to be out of contention. Maybe im wrong? Im a virgin to the "MG" collectors game so any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Ah........I believe I was at that auction.

You and bidder F.............3 went a few rounds but it went for what I expected.

Congratulations!

Very nice bit of kit. Had my eye on it but got 3 other items instead like a tasty Mauser 71/84 that looked brand new.

Check Marstar, they have belts, drums,slings and they might have the brass catcher too
E bay also has stuff from time to time as does gunbroker
There are sellers on gunbroker who are in Europe and will ship here
Enjoy your 34 it’s a cool firearm I love mine!

That was a great score on the 71/84 Milanczar! It was on my list but then i decided to go whole hog on the mg34.
Will check Marstar Deathrawt. Thanks.
Cheers!

I was there in the morning to inspect stuff but had to leave and bid online on the 71/84 as it came up late in the day.

The comments on the stock condition are more detail oriented and I had no issue on inspection so I hope you find the same when it arrives.

The descriptions for Switzers auction are done by a great guy who used to be with one of the major FLGS that he used to evaluate firearms for.

He is very professional and diligent and will rather mention a small(er) flaw etc than not. What he mentioned was minor I thought.

I went over the mg34 you bought and it is in great shape (IMO) so I hope you will be pleased. (tried not to drool on it while inspecting it too )
