Same here, does not explain the primer on the other end. Very small print on the primer indicates electrically fire. The Vulcan System and the 25 mm cannon atop the Bradly Fighting Vehicle are...

Am wondering what type shell this would be. A primer on one end and and open on the other with some threads, assuming something would...

Per chance could it be a "Khyber Pass" copy? I've seen some of the Brit Martini copies at the bazaar's, very difficult to tell the diff unless you knew what to look for. The Afghans do some good work.

My LB resto project was a butchered rifle, all I...

You could always say it was the helmet that Jane Fonda wore, :dancingbanana: I saw a lot of bootleg stuff while in Afghanistan also.

I,ll venture Austrian from the 1950,s, I just saw some like that on the Liberty Tree surplus site.

That's a nice idea and looks good. For the bulk and weight, would it be easier to build two boxes? That would make it easier to carry, and to slide in and out of a SUV type car. Adding some rope...

A ballpark figure of what you paid for it, less then, more then? That is a sweet find.

Do you have a pic or two, to show us. You can never know the logic behind such things as you describe. It made sense to someone, at onetime though. Oops, I just seen your comment of forthcoming...

The diameter of the front scope "bell" was large enough that the original owner scalloped the wood and cut the handguard ring, those pieces I replaced with NOS. The LGS told me the owner did not use...

Liberated from the US side of the house, courtesy of Bagram.

Yep, basically a Chief Warrant handed it to me one day and asked me if I had a use for it, "Of course I do" was my reply :D. People have made offers on it but I decline, it works very nicely on the...

The sad thing is when I took it all apart to clean, it still had cosmoline packed into the nooks and crannies of the stock. Also around the trigger mechanism, so a decent A3 was instantly turned into...

Got this Rem A3 in a horse trade at the local gunshop, the original owner hogged off the rear sight to mount a "LARGE" scope. Which means it's been D&T over the chamber and the bolt handle was...

What a great job you have done with that H-Track. I remember in the late 80's when I lived in Illinois, I chased down a story of halftracks sitting in an auto salvage/scrap yard in the farm town of...

Sharp eye for detail sir, those Steiners came home with me from Afghanistan. You would be surprised how much optics/scopes get destroyed by DRMO in country. So I managed to "liberate" that pair. Plus...

New member here with a varied interest in the milsurps, thought ya might like to see my resto Longbranch. Saved it from bubba who cut up the wood, left the metal alone though. Picked it up for $50...

Did you have it checked for proper headspace by a gunsmith, during the rearsenal process barrels get changed out. Sometimes they get turned in to far, there is a witness mark on the underside of the...

I'll chime in as a new member and current Army. I used the H and Y style LBE during my active duty (81-85), had a big break in service and joined the Reserve side of the house in 1996. By that time...
