Embalmer

I'd say that's a fun failure. Not so much when a 1942 byf luger decides to do it. ..

It's like m1 garands. Know of personally found by serial number of vets looking for the slim chance to be reunited with the rifle they carried. Hard and slim chances? Yes bUT not impossible

Some have been on ebay and gunbroker last time was looking for a stock

Only thing that differs from DIY, to kits offered. The kit had a hammer/striker attached to the firing pin spring

Good luck, gave up after 2 years looking

If can't find usgi, bmgparts.come sells a good repro a2 with monopod hole

Nice! Envious

Actually were about 10 ft to my right. Talked to joe before. He admits they are hot, and warned not to put these bar tuned ones in a garand cause it will blow them up. I believe there's some black powder mixed in with the other propellants, due to the slight egg smell when cleaning. My flash hider is the blank adapter, has a set screw inside that's interchangable, and I drilled out the largest of the 4 or 5 that came with it to Joes recommendations. I have some less powerful ones from Atlantic wall I'll be toying with. I know with current setup it hardly moves the bolt.

These are swanson blanks being tested in my bar. After reading this thread, probably going to readjust for less powerful blanks. Can see the amount of gas ect coming out of gas tube and flash hider. Orifice is .0172 I believe.

Anyone know where I can find a complete stock set for my kahr thompson m1? Factory wood doesn't feel as thick as usgi ect, thus not as comfortable.

Awesome. Love the m1928a1 look

They were making birch replacement garand stocks post wwii as replacements. Wouldn't surprise me if made bar foregrips too

someone on another mg site i lurk on made it. need to modify by adding rope handles on ends, and maybe reinforce in a couple places with screws

Good luck with your purchase, you won't be disappointed. Mirroring above, get rid of Web sling, and get a proper leather 3 hook sling, and blue the silver bolt (I have a whole thread here on stuff I did to mine to be wwii configuration) And careful on accessories, gets addictive http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/maninblue1861/1918%20Browning%20automatic%20rifle/_DSC1320_zpse41ucr5j.jpg

And they're ya have it, learned something new. Didn't know Aniston was still overhauling these that late.

BA mark probably when originally registered, as I don't know what armories were still operating to do overhauls in October 1968

Saw a few h&r m5 flare pistols marked b.o.l for inspector marks

already starting here... Figure since I had a well liked thread on my 1918 bar thread, figure show off my 1919 collection that ive started building up. not shown is dewat's belt loader, 100 round ammo can that attaches to side of gun (not IMA's!) and pedestal mounting fork. got to remark chest to saginaw http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/maninblue1861/Weapons/Saginaw%201919%20project/_DSC1321_zps0mljmglh.jpg http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/maninblue1861/Weapons/Saginaw%201919%20project/_DSC1323_zpscbrzfgt2.jpg tool pouch full of small replacement parts (all saginaw) including the booster. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/maninblue1861/Weapons/Saginaw%201919%20project/_DSC1324_zpswtewa8yu.jpg http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/maninblue1861/Weapons/Saginaw%201919%20project/_DSC1325_zpstwajzsgu.jpg

Why I'm glad he hesitated, as took almost 2 years to score one.

Unfortunately removing the residue, and tape resulted in paint loss, and shadows ect. Had a buddy bead blast it, I had the matching wwii paints and primer on hand, and had someone replicate markings on an original stencil cutting machine. Good as new http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/maninblue1861/1918%20Browning%20automatic%20rifle/20150821_095216_zpsbszzhylw.jpg http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/maninblue1861/1918%20Browning%20automatic%20rifle/20150821_095451_zps4bruusri.jpg http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/maninblue1861/1918%20Browning%20automatic%20rifle/20150821_102241_zpsvwqjvzwh.jpg

thanks Johnson, ended up buying Hayes's last one. the temptation for the real deal was to much and jumped at it. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/maninblue1861/1918%20Browning%20automatic%20rifle/20150814_154844_zpstvzniped.jpg 3 hours of go off, swearing, meticulous picking slowly away with a flat head, more swearing, and a case and half of yuengling up to about 94%... http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/maninblue1861/1918%20Browning%20automatic%20rifle/20150814_190823_zpse5ijzhvm.jpg also show off more mags that arrived... including 5 mint blued WWI mags http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/maninblue1861/1918%20Browning%20automatic%20rifle/20150814_190845_zpsp25f3gjn.jpg still got more to do as today after everything dried still a bit of residue crap remaining i got to figure how to get off as goo off didnt work as great as hoped.

Thanks, definitely nice for a repro (small amount of buttplate overhang on bottom left, ut otherwise great for the price paid) Cant wait to finish the machine rifle ammunition chest m1. unfortunately damn army tape goop is proving a real pain to get off without wrecking original paint. might end up doing what I did to the m1a1 .30 ammo chest can, bead blast it, and repaint with proper paints. but will give a few more days worth of elbowgrease before throwing in towel.

Actually got a usgi fork for 180 shipped

And I'm not close to being done.... http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/maninblue1861/1918%20Browning%20automatic%20rifle/_DSC1311_zpsnwylynlk.jpg http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff186/maninblue1861/1918%20Browning%20automatic%20rifle/_DSC1320_zpse41ucr5j.jpg

ended up getting a m1a1 chest, that ill refurb to m1 b.a.r. specs. seemed far easier, and cheaper than dealing with a 20 min phonecall lol
