ZF, I don't personally.

However, I think there are a few forum members here who own MG15's and maybe they can comment to your post questions or refer you to someone else.

Hopefuly, we have a "Maschinengewehr" authority in this community?
 
Mg15

These have been for sale as on MG15 parts kits here in the USA for some time, I think they are post war YUGO wood receiver covers. JH
 
Right so possibly post war? I notice on IMA's site right now they have one with a wooden cover. Could these wood covers not just be made for early MG15's?? Anyone got an MG15 with wood cover on here that would care to help out would be great! Thanks for the help again guys :thumbsup:

Alright i know I'm bring up a zombie, but in my search for MG-15 parts and recoil springs i stumbled across this thread.
I own and operate a Jap. type 98 which is an exact copy of the MG-15... mostly all parts and right down to the caliber.
In my travels i have seen type 98's with wood covers. The earlier ones were Bakelite covers like the German ones, but went to wood on later production.
I do not know for sure, but i believe the Germans never used a wood cover (could be wrong).
Of the German guns and kits I've seen, all were bakelite. There were a bunch of type 98 kits that came in a good 10 years ago or so, and all that i saw(about 15) had wood covers.
Anyway if anyone see this i could really use MG-15 recoil spring or springs.
thanks
Ryche
 
les modelés de MG 15 équipe de fourrure en bois sont les premières fabrications utilisées sur les avions et ont disparu en fumée
un petit lot pour export sortie en caisse avec tout les accessoires a ete vendu par le potugal et est arrive sur le marche francais dans les annee 1975 toutes montees en fourure bois
mais à ma connaissance ces 1er variantes non jamais ete monte en version terrestre
p our finir les toutes toutes 1er fabrication de MG 15 avaient le refroidisseur perfore avec des trous ronds et non pas ovale comme dalleur les 1er MG81 qui ont remplace les MG 15 a cause de la cadence de tir qui etait du double des MG 15 mais ceci est un autre sujet

Translation:
The models of MG 15 wooden fur team are the first manufactures used on airplanes and have disappeared in smoke

A small lot for export out of cash with all the accessories was sold by the potugal and arrived on the French market in 1975 all mounted in wood fur

But to my knowledge these 1st variants have never been mounted in terrestrial version

To finish all the 1st manufacture of MG 15 had the perforated cooler with round holes and not oval as a slab the 1st MG81 which replaced the MG 15 because of the shooting rate which was twice the MG 15 but this is another subject
