Plase PM with any info

there are some manuals around - just difficult to find !

I was at a vintage arms dealer and saw a four times version available for about the same price as a real Garand. This was last year.

There was one on Pawn stars last night and a 50 cal too!
Anyone see it?

One was a BAR, they figured it was worth about $1200.

Thanks for all the help! (Mr.Womack) Which vintage arms dealer?

That is funny. I just recently started watching Pawn Stars and saw that show last night. The oversize rifles are also shown on the training videos listed at the top of the forums page.

Very few complete ones exist.

A complete one will have all the ammo, the clips, mags, or ammo belt, the pamphlet, the travel case, the internal stand, several spare parts, and a content listing by the manufacturer.

One thing to keep in mind. If you buy or sell one, do it locally. The travel cases were never designed for shipping. They were designed to be put in the rear of a truck and delivered to a unit, then returned to the training center.

If you ship one by common carrier, chances are it will get broken up pretty badly and destroyed.
