P.W.U.-FK C.K.M. wz.30 model in scale 1:16 on stand wz.34

In the summer of 1928, however, the competition was repeated and once again the Colt plant won with its design. In the Armament Department of the Ministry of the Army. A decision was made to purchase a license for 450,000 dollars and start production in Poland. However, it turned out that both Colt and Fabrique Nationale, due to their own negligence, did not patent the weapon in Poland. The production capabilities of the Polish industry were probably underestimated. It was decided to use this. Based on the 2 copies they had, delivered for the competition, Polish designers from the Rifle Factory Studies Office in Warsaw prepared the entire drawing and technical documentation in 1929. Then their own changes were introduced. In March 1930, the State Rifle Factory in Warsaw released the first test series of 200 wz.30 heavy machine guns, which were sent to units to collect opinions. Since they were positive, however, several defects of the weapon were specified. The next major changes were introduced in 1938 - a new version of the weapon was then tested - wz.1930a. By the end of 1936, 5,256 pieces and 3,424 basic wz.30 and 353 wz.34 were produced until the war. A total of 7,861 wz.30 heavy machine guns were produced. If we include the wz.30a heavy machine gun in this pool, we get about 8,000 pieces.
