H004295 MG34 STOCK. (Kolben Griff MG34)

BACKGROUND: Among other restrictions, the Treaty of Versailles banned Germany from developing any type of heavy machine gun. To circumvent this German development of an all purpose machine gun were secretly being done in Switzerland in the early 1930's. By 1934 designer Louis Stange of the Rheinmetall armaments factory had made improvements to the secret machine gun developed in Switzerland and the MG34 was introduced as an all purpose selective fire weapon. In spite of the relatively high production cost the MG34 was accepted by the Wehrmacht Ordnance department and deliveries of the MG34 began in 1936.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Molded mottled brown bakelite construction stock for the MG34 with tooled, blued steel fittings. Stock has an open, circular, blued steel fitting with spring loaded locking clip, to attach it to the body of the MG. Spring loaded locking clip still functions. The circular attachment fitting is secured to the stock by an internal, long necked screw with the screw head accessible at the butt plate of the stock. Butt plate has repeating horizontal grooves for better grip. This example is the later production model with out the steel protective panels to the top and bottom corners of the butt plate.
