Thanks for the comment Will! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and you are right it is quite a wonderful display piece! I hope to see you in the comments in the future.
Thanks for the comment John! From what I can tell the tray does allow for you place a dummy belt in it after you have fully removed the top part. You just won't be able to pull it through any further than where you've set it in the tray so I've seen the best way to display it is to leave the first part of the belt empty on the other side as if it had been fired the rest intact for a more interesting display.
If you buy the extra 'spent' belts 'they come in 50 round sections' can you load with 8mm Mauser LIVE ammo? It would be Alittle pricey as 20 rounds of standard FMJ 8mm Mauser is $32 shipped. So for 150 rounds you would be looking at around $240 BUT THATBWOUKD LOOK REALLY COOL. IF you can do it. Is it possible??
@@kawythowy867 To answer your question, yes you can use live rounds as well! Anything standard sized 8mm round will work in a display with this replica! However, I generally do not recommend using live rounds in displays for safety reasons. But to each his own!
Thanks for the comment gruppenfuhrer! The MG34 is seriously a spectacular model both for display and reenacting. Not to mention of course it now made German light machine guns actually accessible to the majority of the hobby now! As for the MG42, I'm sure they will make it sometime down the line but at least according to the customer vote they held to determine they would produce the MG34, the FG-42 was the second highest result with the BAR after that so my guess would be one of those two will likely be next within the next couple years.
Great detailed video! it's a pity that you really can't open the top cover of the receiver for the tape and you can't remove the butt and get the spring with the shutter! let the price be higher, but it's better with these advantages! in principle, the mp 40 replica has at least somehow implemented this and you can get a shutter and a shock mechanism there
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It is a shame that the model doesn't come with a working cover straight out of the box but it's nice that you can modify it fairly easily. Unfortunately the reality of it is that Denix is based in Spain and they have to be able to sell the model on a world market which means that they have to adhere to whatever the strictest laws are in whatever country that may be to allow them to ship it and sell it there. Regardless of all of that it is still a great addition to the community to make a respectable MG model affordable to the masses. I hope to see you in the comments in the future!
Thanks for the comment Some_Loser! Based on the construction I will be thoroughly impressed if you succeed in this project! If you go through with it make to share it around! I'd love to see the finished product. I hope to see you in the comments in the future!
@@warhistorygeek6013 as soon as I can save up for all the necessary parts. I travel for work, so getting the needed supplies is a little tougher. Still, this feels like it would be a fun project.

Thanks for the comment WW2Enthusiasts! In theory I believe you likely could put an original MG34 top cover on the denix model. However, I have yet to see that and I also wouldn't recommend it personally because I think you may have to do significant modifications to an original part to make it work. If you're looking to make the top cover open and close, just replace the catch at the end of the cover with an original spring loaded part. I have seen this done before and if done correctly it is very effective at making the top cover functional.
Thanks for the comment Harleyrider! Glad you enjoyed the video! I can definitely recommend this model to you if you're looking for a nice display piece or for reenacting.
Thanks for the comment kawythowy! I'm sorry to hear that I was too convincing in regards to whether or not you should get one of these haha! I can attest that you will not be disappointed however! I hope you enjoy!
I bought coach shotgun and sawn off shotgun and Ak from them. Loved the shotguns but Ak less then year fell part and was only ever used in display case but some how parts got lose and fell a part 😢.
Thanks for the comment Jeff! Sorry to hear that your AK replica fell apart. I've seen some similar situations but luckily I haven't had any bad experiences like that yet. 🤞
Thanks for the comment philheath!! Yikes on that price!!!! I'm sorry you guys down there have to deal with that!! Fortunately, as I described in the video, they're reasonably priced here in the US. Best of luck to you as well with your country's new restrictions. I was sad to hear that they succeeded in passing that legislation.
@@RG-2112 You're a lucky man! The Denix STG-44 has been on my list for a while now! I'm hoping to get my hands on one this year for a review! I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the comment! The replica is made out of an alloy metal. The butt of the gun is made out of wood. Several of the internal components are made of Plastic which allow the charging handle to go back and forth.
Thanks for the comment T Doran! Unfortunately it seems most nations out of the US have to pay an arm and a leg for these things! I hope that you can eventually get your hands on one of these. It really makes an awesome display piece! I hope to see you in the comments in the future!
Those there Can fire blanks in sadly illegal is most countrys even that they cant even fire bullets that Can kill they Can only fire blanks so i kinda dont understand why they are illegal with out a Weapons permit
Thanks for the comment Bambi! As an American I will of course agree that it is very unfortunate how restrictive most countries are in the world in regards to firearms and firearm replicas. However it is worth noting that many blank only machine guns, particularly that of MG's, use many if not mostly authentic machine gun parts that can make sense as to why those countries then require permits or ban them from ownership.
Great review, Thank you for sharing it with us.
This replica is great and looks pretty accurate to the real thing.
Take care.

@@warhistorygeek6013 No worries bud.
You sure will as I have subbed lol.
Take care.
I'm from england and have a replica with moving parts love it my friend made a wooden tripod for it
Thanks for the comment Vic! Sounds like a nice set up you have over there!
Very nice video i have an Mg 42 but its an high-grade airsoft and I got a tripod for it and named it Helga 😊
Thanks for the comment MRT! That sounds like quite a cool display piece!
Which brand is the mg42 my friend?
Can you place a dummy belt in it after you take the top part off.

Not sure what you're referencing here Otis but thanks for the comment 👍
Hoping they come out with the MG42. I’ve got my Denix MG34 and love it.

Is there that big of a difference between the two? The 42 and 34 I mean.
@@kawythowy867 ahhh yes
Obviously you’re not a history or gun buff.

I suddenly feel an itch to purchase one, gut it and install some airsoft internals.

Replikę MG34 nabyłem w zeszłym roku. Cena ok 500$.Bardzo dobrze wykonana.
Dodam , że ją trochę usprawniłem - można załadować taśmę z nabojami. Pracy nie dużo ale za to jest efekt.
Thanks for the comment Kazimierz! Glad to hear that you had similar experiences with yours!
@@kazimierzburzynski2538 Good work! A lot of collectors have done that as well. Adds to the aesthetic of the display for sure!
Steel or plastic?
