  1. I remember a few years ago at the range with 3 of my BARs ...and a WWII paratrooper asking to hold the NESA...He remembers jumping with it before D-DAY,many times and then for the last time on D-DAY...he was half my size and weight and still in great shape...shot that BAR like it was a 22...his jump gear was 80-100 lbs and he wade 135 lbs.,,,I`ll never forget that day...
  2. I`m finishing the construction of a Chattelllerault M24/29...and I need a complete bolt assy...these seem to be very hard to find,any help would be greatly appreciated
  3. As I posted in my original reply...some people like him and some don`t..I have no problem with members/people that enjoy his video...my opinion on his info is he is incorrect on varity of firearms that I have built/repaired/refinished...strictly my opinion...based on my manufacture /repair /buying /selling hundereds postsample/transferable machineguns refinishing 1800s/1900s title one rifles and pistols.that`s it....this is not intended to insult anyone that enjoys his videos..he did post a video to not try and visit or his property..or there would be a problem..Again no offence on my part was intended
  4. You have to take this with a grain of salt....most of the members of this forum have far more accurate info them him...he gives inaccurate info on several different types of firearms.,Winchesters,remingtons,pistols,machineguns...some people like his opinions and videos and some don`t...he even threatens you if you wanted to visit him..so I just ignore for several years now...
  5. In 1966 a friend who lived in New Jersey visited his brother who owned a junkyard in Philly.That mornings adventure was the scrapping of a 1936 Packard Phaeton found in a soon to be raised warehouse.Upon removing the gas tank before crushing,a secret compartment was discovered containing 4 21 Colts w/drums...alarmed by this find all contents were turned over to the beat cop walking past the yard...today the total would be 500k-a million or more...wonder what the cop did with those Colts?
  6. Do you have to remove the blower before shooting?.. Ha...
  7. Update: Well I found a 30.06 barrel in good shape..now I am in need of a gas regulator assy...I have the chamber just need what is inside of it...
  8. Thanks Doug,... It`s great to here that your health is improving,..proof prayer and a positive outlook do indeed work.
  9. Thanks Doug...is there a difference between .303 and 30.06 springs?...
  10. I`m looking for a 30.06 barrel,front sight and gas regulator for a Savage aircraft Lewis.Any help would be much appreciated.
  11. I have had a few titanium pins with broken tips in the shop...they appear to be a tad too long...I made a run of pins out of drill blanks about 10 yrs ago and all are still running...I guess I got it right back then,,,Rockwell hardness measured 26 0n the original pins...my blanks measured 45...I used up my initial run last year...guess I `ll have to find my old fixture for another run...btw titanium is only stronger than steel by weight...not by volume...
  12. Good ole google..ha..My NESA is also stamped B.O.L. with a barrel date of 6/44...D-DAY month...which I always felt was cool...came from Kent Lomont and at onetime was owned by Roger Cox...well traveled BAR...
  13. I knew about this last summer...from an insider at the CMP I was informed they had 250,000 1911s and he inventoried them...claimed they had groups that were sequentially serial numbered ...and even found a Singer (not for sale)...went to their museum ...again this is second hand info...he brought a collection of military rifles to sell later at the Lakeland gun show...fwiw..
  14. Mine arrived and it is a cool accessory...nice workmanship...
  15. I have had no dealings with Vahan,but we have shot together..he always brought the coolest stuff to my range...too bad he ran afoul of some petty ATF regs..
  16. Got mine also...great reading..appreciate all the hard work and research...only thing missing is the centerfold...
  17. Mike let me know what you need for the mags...
  18. I just finished rebuilding one and test fired last weekend....I am surprised at the weight, they do run pretty smooth. Does anyone know of some magazines for sale or trade? I know that`s a long shot....
