The MG 08/15 Updated Between the Wars

https://www.forgottenweapons.com/the-...   / forgottenweapons   In the aftermath of World War One, the Treaty of Versailles strictly limited the number of machine guns that the German military could keep in inventory. The main type that the Germans chose to keep was the MG08/15 (although a substantial number of MG08 guns were kept as well). Through the 1920s and 1930s, these Maxim guns were improved and updated in a variety of ways until finally replaced by the MG34 starting in 1936. Many of these updated 08/15s would be deployed in reserve areas during World War Two, but relatively few survive today. Today we are looking at one such gun, and noting the changes made to it compared to the 08/15 of World War One. Specifically: Anti-aircraft sights and mounting brackets Oiler bottle in the stock Bipod attachment at the muzzle New water drain and fill plugs Modified drum hanger bracket Feed block for both cloth Maxim belts and metal MG34 belts Leather pistol grip cover Top cover locking latch
