R67 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) If you have a shot out barrel, shoot me a PM. I am building a M1928A1 non-gun and I am just looking for a barrel. The one I currently have has been drilled out, and undercut, so anything else is a major step up. Loss of finish is fine by me, I can re-finish it myself. Just want a decent looking barrel for my display. For fun and your viewing pleasure here is a cool WWII TSMG picture: (551st Parachute Inf. Batt. Maritime Alps, 1944) Edited February 5, 2016 by R67 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R67 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks mate. Independent parachute infantry battalions in WWII are a passion of study for me. I like to contribute to the forum when I put out an ad like this so it is something more than just another wanted ad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R67 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 someone, somewhere... has a worn out barrel for me. Spread the word! Still looking! 509th PIB, South of France, 1944 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R67 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Still on the hunt for a shot out barrel. I will continue to bribe the forum for possible leads with cool photos not posted here before. Dick Fisco of the 509th PIB, Italy, 1944 Sgt. Fisco displays a low fighting stance with his 1928A1. Notice the rear grip added to the front horizontal grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R67 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Now, I just like posting the pictures... If you have a bulged barrel, I would be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R67 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thanks to the guys who have responded to my wanted ad here. I have received a few offers for barrels that I had to turn down due to my requirements. I am looking for a WWII Savage/Stevens finned barrel, not a reproduction. I am looking for just a barrel, please no compensators as I already have a very nice one. Shotout barrel is preferential, but a bulged barrel will do if the bulging is not too noticeable. If you have a spare WWII finned barrel to sell, I am always willing to hear offers, so shoot me a PM. Cost is a big motivator for why I want a used barrel. I do not see the sense in using a NOS barrel that costs $300 for a project that will never shoot. I am looking for a barrel that is original WWII, but somehow not-serviceable for shooting. If you have anything that could work PM me. Once again, thanks for letting me post this wanted ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R67 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Seriously: A friend directly sourced this image from the national archives. He said there was a pencil written note on the back that said something to the equivalent of "QMC Gear display". Short answer is nothing can be proven absolutely. However the color/texture of the canvas stock is identical to the other pouches that are confirmed QMC made. It also makes perfect sense that this pouch is QMC made, as the QMC made everything early in the war, even things relatively easy to procure through the Army or commercially available.

R67 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Well guys, after a few months of searching I finally found a bulged barrel that suits my needs. Thanks for all the responses and offers. I hope someone got a kick out of the pictures. I wanted to contribute and not just post another wanted ad. So thanks for everyone's patience as I continued to update this thread. My dummy build is really coming along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
