Last of my old-school leather lens covers. $50 ea. + shipping or 2 < $50 ea. shipped.

Elmore traded as many receivers as he sold complete rifles. He would give AMU armorers receivers for having them build him NM rifles. Ahhhhh....the good old days.
Not into Class III items what-so-ever, so I have no idea of the value.
This can was specifically designed to carry/store 10 20 rd. Thompson SMG mags. Inside the can, you can see there are slots...
Or anything close.
Looking for the green USGI cloth bags which holds a rifle cleaning kit for storage in the butt stock.
Would be interested in as many as you have.
What do I have to do to get " sufficient privileges" to respond to post and threads.
I cannot even respond to moderators to get this answer.
Let's assume it is an original (which it is). How much? All I want is a ballpark figure so my Dad does not give it away.
Don't have pics (item is with my Dad), but it is similar to the first pic. But USGI. The second pic you have looks like a drop-bag. Don't think I've seen one so short.
This was a WWII (airborne?) case designed for the '27-28 Thompson sub-machine gun models with the detachable butt stock. About 2.5' in length with a number of pouches for magazines. It was canvas,...
I enjoyed it. It was a story that I had not heard of before. Shameful that governments treat their soldiers with such disdain.
I find Armslist to be about a 50/50 chance of someone serious about buying or selling. Many of the rifles I approach are scams. Others are trollers looking for something; I don't know what. But it...
Do not know of a source on the mounts or parts. As previously stated, complete originals are going for $250+. Stripping the parts off a repro may be your best bet. Is the female threads on the...
Why is my account blocked?
As previously mentioned, the value in this gun is to remain in the original packing. This means $1000s to a Garand or sniper rifle collector. If you are very rich, take it out of the USGI packaging...
For a car to be antique, it is 20 years. Usually for a scope, it is 50 years. Redfield scopes made in Denver CO. are considered antigue due to Leupold buying the name.
The scope base on your rifle is correct. Now your decission is to decide which way you want to go: WWII or Korea.
WWII would presently be the cheaper route to go. The rings are 3/4" with a...
With what I can tell from pics and your description, this may be a USGI refurbish for Korean War. These usually go for more than a WWII version due to the value of the rings and scope. $4k is a bit...
Sounds like a Shepard scope. The circles are for range estimation. Don't have any time behind one of these, but some praise them.
What are you trying to scope and what is your budget?
Sure seems like the selling morals of our society are getting very low. Glad ebay seller has changed his tune. There was a guy on the M14 forum that had "new, unissued rare oprods". He got raked...
I have a leathersmith that is making up some scope covers for the Weaver K4. Also have some for the 330 series, Lyman Alaskan, and the M-81/82 scopes. Close to the originals, well made in the USA....
The first rifle serial number 460890 was built in 1911, so the barrel matches. This is also the era in which the scope mounted rifles were first produced. The front and rear scope blocks were...
