Do you own one of the crated, matching MG34 sent to Portugal? If so, I want to hear from you!
I'm trying to figure out:
1. why some are painted black
2. why some have synthetic stocks, and others wood
3. confirm that the second shipment were not marked "Rheinmetall-Borsig"
4. confirm that the first shipment are all dot43 and second are all dot44
