That very much depends on where you are. I could expect to pay maybe $1000CDN for a complete Nazi 88 with casing and projectile, unfired. Maybe less. I was offered a complete one for $1100CDN and...

We actually adopted those for a time too with one of our uniforms...would buy that very ascot from the PX in say, Ft Lewis WA. They were a rich man's idea I'm sure.

Mine too. First because of deployed status.

Yes, all of that. Yes and M14. Definitely not RVN. There are other pics here that make me certain it's the beginning with the M14 in Germany with the 2nd battle group, 6th inf HQ in Berlin. The...

Again, this is part of the Berlin Bde...I think the other pic would have been these guys too.

Bayonets on for a pic...careful... Looks like that might be Germany? Anyone know different?

I look at it from one possibility for him...I had more than one of a few things and only have room for so many. I sold my extras even though they were hard to find. Now I have more and the sales...

:yikes:

A real hen's tooth, that. Never ever would I expect to see one hereabouts.

Really, really simple. Someone lost a bolt long after this was released from service and found a replacement. They head spaced to some end and marked it with serial to "Make it correct" for the...

Yes it is.

I was going to say, must have been size of the Holland tunnel to get you through...but I see her point.

It would. Didn't they have the chance to use them too, a full scale riot at one time...

Rear sight is sure cranked waaaay up...!

I've still never even shot one of those...

Thanks for remembering to get back to us on this one.

Top pic looks like dismount drills for the camera. Bottom pic, why did the BAR get the tools box for the .30 cal? It looks like...

Springfield Research Service and it has a list of martial arms serial numbers with details such as date of manufacture and issue. Four volumes I think? I only have number one.

Yep, I can see why you'd grab it.

I saw that too...

Yes, that's one. Looks like a "Show and shine" type thing. Everyone looking them over.

That would explain the stellar condition. As for the charger insert, don't even know if you can find them now. We didn't have the magazines over here until the late '80s or early '90s. I had a CAL...

So...it was converted by John Q Public then?
