MG34 Snail Drum

[cat66]

Hello
Thanks for looking at my post. I am looking at picking up a drum magazine for my Display MG34. I was wondering if they came out in this color, or is it a post war repaint? The ones I see on History channel & YouTube look black to me!

Thanks Again
Curt

I have seen them in sand,green and grey colour.

Its hard to see the colour of this one but If this one is green it could be a Yugo army used one

[Martin Bull]

I have seen the colour in the pics on other Yugo kit such as ammo boxes and spare barrel cases.

[Adrian Stevenson]

This one is indeed post war Yugoslav production. Note the colour and markings.

Cheers, Ade.

in France, it's not easy to find original drums, now. The rarest are the camos and some with the number of the MG painted on.
Perhaps on egun ?

This one is from one stock in Belgium, never used.

I have 2 of them - both HQU 43 - both are postwar Yugo reused, one even being stamped with a star on the bottom.

Here is my WC41 Postwar repainted drum, I still like these. It adds to the history
