Ringstandlafette

[der bunkermann]

Hi there,
Can anyone help me with drawings and pictures of a Ringstandlafette? I think it's the most common one.
I have found part of it ( the mount is still there), and want to restore it for our museum

I'll try to post a picture of it.
Gr, Tim

your friend john sure has an amazing collection
we've bought some items of him....
below the best picture i have for now... the mount looks like the one from the bundesarchiv picture.
i can make a better picture of what remains tomorrow.
the ring was made of +/- 30 millimeter steel tube.

Hi Jos,
It looks like Tim's ring is a tube instead of the one i have which is a L-shape.
Tim, if you want to compair it with my one be my guest!
My one is lacking the woodenpart, but much is still present.
Greetings Jack.

Post of Rucksak, from mg34/mg42 forum



salut, voici ma dernière rentré!
ça faisait deux ans que j'essayais de le récupérer!
un trés beau montage pour tobrouk MG42 avec plaque de blindage.
les plaques de blindages sont de récupération mais je n'ai pas encore identifié dans quoi avait été taillées ces deux plaques.

a very nice mount for Tobruk MG42 with armor plate.
Armor plates are recovering but have not yet identified what had been cut in two plates.




la MG est clipée sur la fixation de bipied central grâce à un système rappelant les lager 42.
mais celui est plus long d'environ 1 cm!
comme il est impossible de verrouiller et de déverrouiller la MG avec les mains à cause des plaques de blindage, le lager spécial ce verrouille et déverrouille en poussant la MG vers l'avant.
j'espère avoir été clair, désolé si ce n'est pas le cas!

MG is clipped on the bipod attachment to a central system by copying the lager 42.
But it is longer by about 1 cm!
As it is impossible to lock and unlock the MG with the hands because of the armor plates, the special lager that locks and unlocks by pushing the MG forward.
I hope I was clear, sorry if this is not the case!



Sur les deux ergots arrière de la MG vient se fixer une sorte de béquille!
Cette béquille offre une plage + ou - réglabe de tir vertical!

Of the two pins back of the MG is fixed a kind of crutch!
This stand offers a range + or - stop adjustable vertical shooting!





cette portion d'arc est montée sur 4 petits galets!
ces galets roulent sur une cornière en acier de 40mmx40mmx5mm et d'un diamètre 80 cm fixé au tobrouk.

This portion of an arc is mounted on four small wheels!
These rollers rolling on a steel angle of 40mmx40mmx5mm and a diameter 80 cm set at Tobruk.



la rotation est effectué par le soldat qui s'agrippe à la poigné verticale.
en tirant ou en poussant sur celle-ci, il tourne selon son besoin!
la poignée en u est pour ce hisser à niveau lors de la mise en oeuvre!

The rotation is performed by the soldier who grabs the handle vertical.
By pulling or pushing on it, it runs according to his need!
The handle is U-shaped to raise the level in the implementation!

Wow nice.. didnt see this post last time!

[der bunkermann]

Question,
Has anyone ever seen (or found a picture of) the ringstandlafette lying on a rubber ring? Like a glide bearing.
We have one in our posession wich was found together with a 80 cm rubber ring.
I will make pictures next time i'm in the museum.
