Sandman1957 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Saw this when I was looking through some vintage WWII photos. Not sure if it was ever posted here before. Looks like a vertical fore-grip modification. No clue if this was a field expedient, or some were modified and shipped out this way. Close up of same photo.

Big Al Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) It was a field mod to get the support hand away from the barrel heat. I made a post a while back with two photos I found. http://www.machinegunboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17597 Edited October 10, 2017 by Big Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
