Interesting curved mag in the middle.
franken magazine - modified AK 47 magazine to fit upper magazine body of an M16 magazine (are you really going to use this kind of home-made magazine in combathttps://www.milsurps.com/images/impo.../30c109c-1.jpg
Question is, did it work?
Evidently not that well otherwise they mods would have been common?
JUST what I thought when I saw that pic (thread 12) RCS. It is an L1A1 in thread 10 and the magazine loooks like it's a UK made L4 Bren mag because our L4 30 rounders were slightly curved whereas the Aust 30 rounders were straight.
Although I've never tried that double pistol grip on an L1A1, I have used a few zillion L1A1's and 2's. Quite how the front grip stayed firm attached to the laminated wood part of a set of laminated fabricated handguards, rivetted to the end caps was quite beyond me. And how was the grip affixed? Screwed to what? How did the two halves not separate under load? Think about it!
Mickey mouse watches spring to mind. Looks good for the folks back home - but not a lot of use when it comes to telling the time! Same applies to photo 12 I feel
I remember looking at some photo of a field modified L1A1 with the barrel cut back and rigged-up to fire full auto, it was called "the bitch" anyone recall this modification
The bolt carrier says L1A1 and the blokes and the sign in the background says re-enactor, but that's just an opinion.
Is it true there were Navy Seals in WW2 and were only issued Shorts, Flippers and Goggles. I read that's all they had and LOTS of C2 with fuses for underwater demo. You know how stories can get on the internet. If it is its amazing how they evolved to what they are today by learning through each conflict. I didn't know they existed in WW2. I'm sure there were some group of men that did there own recon, and go deep behind enemy lines in WW2 I've read books about them.
Merrills marauders fit the bill.
Google "UDT", the US Navy boys who pre-date SEALs
So were Canadian 30s, straight...Quote:
