He does have a magazine in his carbine, but I still think it is a grenade launcher. At the top you can see he's either missing the coil spring or it's the early version of the grenade launcher that...

Hello all, figured I would put the word out that if anyone is looking for good steel 30 round 7.62x39:magazines from Eastern Europe, Liberty tree has them for $22 a piece. They have them listed as...
Are those round metal billet looking things stacked at the bottom of the picture what the receivers start out as? Yes you can definitely tell this is a cutting machine. Notice the little hook like...
That is absolutely beautiful!
You can certainly tell BAR is trained in critical thinking. Something that would not have dawned on me but something as little as a tiny dent in a drum would absolutely kill it dead making the 50...
Must have been pretty close fighting since he has his bayonet mounted
Are there any members here that are in or near Berlin that could help out? This forum is worldwide and hopefully someone in that area will see this and reach out to you and help look through the...
Wow BAR, your attention to detail is immaculent! I didn't even realize those sentinels were women until you said something haha
Oh wow! I have never participated in the huge auction houses and have never been involved with an auction that had a premium buyers fee. Wayne, that is mind-blowing that a $35 win turned into over...
I have no idea what to tell you on value and I'm not an expert by any means but I can see a bidding war over something like this. It is in excellent condition. You just don't see things like this...
Well if she went 20 smoothly with no hangups, that's a great sign because if your carbine is finicky, it usually doesn't take long to show itself and would have probably showed itself somewhere...
I bet the OP has a great little shooter. It is a very slick looking carbine. Even better that she's been put away for the last 60 years and not used much. Now you need to take it out often and...
Your trigger housing is an M2 variant. Nothing at all wrong with that just pointing it out in case you didn't know
Whenever I see any carbine start with a number 7 it makes me take closer looks. To the OP, is there any particular reason why you have a live round in the chamber? If anything you need a snap cap my...
To my understanding the gray ones were meant for Navy use. Mine is gray and I noticed RCS's example is also gray. I have only seen a green one one time.
Here is a picture of mine with its setback band. Mine is labeled E1 and it's dated 1945
The eBay seller luckily for the OP is in Florida so he wouldn't have to mess with customs if he were to go that route, albeit a lot more expensive.. But I feel exactly what you are saying sapper, a...
Maybe a lot more than what you bargained for but on eBay right now from a seller BigChieft76 has a Glock 44 complete slide and spare parts listed. Little pricey it's over $200 but if you were...
I think she's a beautiful old war horse. When you say saved from being scrapped, did you save it from your local government or from a private person that was just going to throw it away? I'm just...
The predecessor to the M2A1 grenade chemical projection adapter. Later on, the M2A1 would use a setback ring to hold the spoon instead of the way pictured. The setback ring or setback band is a ring...
That's what it looks like to me ram1Alaska, where the Japanese were short, I'm sure their bunkers were lower so his buddy most likely took his helmet and belt off to be able to fit in there. I...
Yes that's all I would be shooting it with. Seems like you'd be able to get on target quicker shooting at paper targets. You know like if you had three or four side by side and you were practicing...
It's crazy how RCS knows about these obscure firearms and ammunition! He's like a living library haha. Thanks RCS, very fascinating
Hey Bob, is it easier to get a good site picture with the front sight ears shaved off? Seems like I have read of that modification on several other carbines that have been seen over the years. Seems...
Bob, you're set up looks about like mine when I go to the range haha. Got to have my spotters scope because my eyes arent as good as they used to be but instead of a square of carpet, I use towels to...
