tk9393[TK] Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 OK, so I've decided to convert my Cushmann DLT-19 vac formed "barrel shroud/T track combo" to a two part "inner barrel/barrel shroud'' with real T tracks. My question is what's the diameter of a real MG-34's barrel shroud, the part with all the holes in it I was under the impression it was 1 1/4 inches or possibly 1 1/2 inches but both seem too big? Help Please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK6540UKG Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 According to the plans on the BBC site it's a 1" barrel. However, this looks too small to me, and once the bipod is added, will make it flex a fair bit. I personally would go for 1¼" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troopermaster Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I measured my hyperfirm MG34 and the vented barrel shroud looks to be 36mm across. I'm not sure how that translates to inches, but would think 1 3/8" approximately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
