You're right, she does not know how to hold a firearm. She needs to hold it a little lower imho. Mark

Hey DC Chris, I had the same problem with my spring kit. It also will fire in two to three round bursts..... Needless to say, I've also dumped the springs and gone back to stock. I don't need that trouble...... Mark

WWII troopers jumped with T-5 and later T-7 Parachutes. Still 28 ft. flat round canopies, just different harnesses, and some canopies were silk instead of nylon. Many of the troopers that I have talked to carried doubled their weight with chutes and equipment. Ralph Manley (one of our legacy members, and 501st PIR trooper) weighed 185 lbs in June of '44. He stepped on a scale prior to his Normandy Jump, and he weighed 418 lbs. Remarkable men from a remarkable generation. All the Way!! Mark WWII Airborne Demonstration Team Foundation www.wwiiadt.org

Atticus, I'm in Missouri, I have my C&R registered in the name of my corporation. No problems here. Transfers are quick too. Mark

help, my thread's been hijacked!!!

PK, Thanks for the advice. This means I have to go back to the range again, darn! There goes another 200 rounds..................... Mark

Yeah, I know..... what is this world coming to.......

Hello all, I would like to poll your collective expertise and see if you guys can help me out on this one. I have a Kahr SA thompson. I've made the following mods to the weapon; Short barrel, parkerized, and installed modified mag catch to accomodate FA mags. I also purchased one of Dave Jankowski's spring kits for it. Here is my problem; when I have the lighter spring set and buffer in, the weapon double and triple fires sometimes when I pull the trigger. It does not happen every time I pull the trigger. If I put the heavier springs in the weapon functions fine. What is happening (or not happening) to cause this type of malfunction. I've tried to think it through, and can not come up with a plausible explanation as to why it's happening. Since everyone else that has purchased Dave's kit has given it glowing reviews, I don't want to place blame on the kit. Thanking you for your help in advance, Mark

Walter, I've actually had the privelige of traveling with Jake McNiece, and Jack Agnew this past December to Bastogne. They are the only two remaining pathfinders out of the 20 who actually jumped there. The WWII Airborne Demonstration Team (WWW.WWIIADT.COM) actually sponsored their trip over there so that they could be a part of the 60th aniversary celebration. What an honor to be able to meet and converse with these men, and hear firsthand their stories. We (the WWIIADT) performed a commemerative jump in Bastogne(also jumped Normandy, and Holland although I was not able to attend) in honor of the pathfinders who jumped there 60 years prior. We jumped pretty low (first stick~800 feet, and second stick~650 feet). Jakes first comment was "I jumped lower than you guys did" :-) If anyone would like to know more about the organization please ask away. Mark

Those are Engineers from Regimental Headquarters company 506th PIR 101st AB. That photo is featured on the cover of "The Filthy Thirteen" by Jake McNiece. This is the true story of the "Dirty Dozen". Pick up a copy if you get a chance. There are also a whole series of those photos in "American Warriors" by Michel de Trez. Mark

Hawkeye Joe, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WWIIBARMAN/ You'll need to register to access the group, but look under photos and then accessories, and you'll see a sling diagram. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll see if I can't post it here. Mark

I spent a week in Belgium, and parachuted out of a WWII C-47 into Bastogne!!!! Mark

Brian, The receivers are either aluminum, or steel. No moving parts really. Try Sarco for a parts kit. I bought one a couple of months ago, but it was pretty beat. I may be willing to sell my dummy, but I was thinking about making a semi. I'll let you know. Mark

Go to elsclan.com. They have a great server. Mark

Brian, You can get an oow semi BAR which run about 2800 when they are available, or you can build a dummy from a parts kit. Parts kits are ~600 or so, and dummy receivers are ~300-~400 if you want to build a dummy. Hope that helps. Mark

Just wanted to let everyone on the board know I just received my 1919a3 from New1 today. Transaction went flawlessly, and I am incredibly happy with my purchase. Thanks again, Mark

Sounds good email sent

HI, I'm currently on the list for the most recent production of OOW's latest batch of BAR's(due "sometime" in Dec.), but I was wondering if anyone knew of any for sale in their local gun shops, etc......... I just missed one that someone had posted at 1919a4.com by a couple of hours....... Thanks in advance for any leads Mark

Thanks guys!! CJ, My son did not have that great of a day racing. He just moved up a class, and the proverbial bar has been raised. We did have a great day otherwise. Mark

Sgt, I just used my residential address. I think it really boils down to what you propose to do with the business and your local zoning laws. For instance I could not operate a gun shop out of my house in St. Louis, the local ordnances will not allow it. When I set up my corp, I stated my business purposes as primarily collecting WWII memorabilia, and so long as I'm not selling stuff from my house or engaging in retail trade from there the city does not have a problem it. Mark

Hey Sgt, I used an "incorporate online" company. I think it was about 150 or so for them to do the legwork. You could probably do it yourself with a "kit" from officemax or some other office supply store. I have to pay $40 a year to file my annual report. It is not necessary to show profit or loss as long as you are incorporated. As far as my form 1 went. I just applied as my corp. and sent in a copy of my articles of incorporation. I'm not really sure what happens once the company dissolves. I imagine that you would have to transfer the weapons to yourself or another entity before you dissolve. Technically if your company were to dissolve, you would be in violation of the NFA if you were to possess the weapons at that point.... Just my .02 not a professional opinion. Mark

I can't believe it, but I got my tax stamp today for my sbr form 1 in about a month. I sent the application off the end of may, and it was waiting for me when I got home today. FYI I applied via my corporation and did not have to get the CLEO signoff, I wonder if that makes any difference. Wow is all I can say. Mark

www.whatpriceglory.com has them on sale for $25.00

Hi All, I have another SBR question, I hope this is the appropriate spot. I remember reading somewhere that it would be possible to get a SBR transfered without a CLEO signature. This was of course if you registered it through your corporation. Was this an older law, or was I dreaming? BTW, The only reason that I'm asking, is that my CLEO may not sign for the SBR. I live in a larger city, and I have been told the the "Chief" may not be very cooperative.... Thanks in advance. Mark
