I believe the MG34 dates from- you guessed it! 1934. The later MG42 was easier to manufacture, but never totally replaced the MG34. Both fired 8x57 Mauser ammo, so no problem there.
Ammo for the STG44 is scarce, but a little less scarce in Europe. In the 1950's, one of Sako's earlier ventures was the 7x33 Sako cartridge, designed for seal hunting. The parent cartridge from which the 7x33 Sako case came? The 7.92 Kurz.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if either the 7x33 Sako or 7.92 Kurz is still available in Europe.
