M2 carbine...select fire & no serial number?? NFA, BATF, ??? :yikes:

My 2 cents worth. Originally acquired a Underwood barrel/ receiver/ bolt/ trigger group (barrel date 2-44) and scrounged parts until I had a functioning M1. The bolt that was with it was a round...

More pretty pictures--a great restoration & superbly done model.

Major 2--I feel your pain. I acquired an M1916 Stahlhelm in very good shape with good original liner & M1891 pickelhaube chinstrap in great condition. It had the original WW1 hand brushed...

Is this legit???

Ditto what Sunray said. As a youth I spent a week on historic island of Corregidor, Philippines. I spent the week collecting WW2 stuff left lying about (US & Japanese). I still have a bunch of the...

When I purchased my SP1 (1982) in came with a 5 rd, blocked mag. The seller offered to swap it for a "normal" 20 rd. mag & I declined. The collector in me was intrigued by anything unusual &...

Here's my 2 cents worth. I was in aviation maintenance for 33 years (civilian) and have seen a lot of pilot's gear. One of the most popular (maybe the best?) maker of headphones, mics, and related...

There has been a marked decrease in drive-by-bayoneting incidents in the states that banned bayonet lugs.

Makes sense to me. A co-worker gave me a few Colt 20 rd. AR15 mags. I did not have an AR15. The logical remedy was to shop for/ buy an AR15.

I remedied the situation...in the form of a...

Feb, 2007 I was privileged to spend 2 days in Normandie and surrounding towns. Definitely was not enough time. I don't care what your political leanings are, when standing in the midst of all those...

The top symbol of your "drawing" sure kooks like a stylized flaming bomb ordnance stamp.

It looks European & 4" = 99.2 mm. Does that ring any bells? Who had 99mm artillery?

This video is 18 minutes long with incredibly clear shots of both US and German weapons & gear.

You won't be disappointed.

Seven Weeks After Normandy: Operation Cobra - YouTube

Two armed (screwdriver) intruders break into a home, homeowner wounds one who later dies. The home owner is up for a murder charge.

The left dreams of a gun-free = crime-free society? I don't...

I know that this is a semi-old post, but that looks like a Kerr "NoBuckl" sling. If it's original, it's worth some $$$.

The stripes are T/5, Technician 5th grade, or "tech corporal". The flaming sword on right shoulder is of course for the 63rd Inf. Div. On the left, the other flaming sword on blue background was...

This item is in great shape & leather chin strap looks/ feels new. The ID tag speaks for itself, however there is no provision for headphones. Perhaps it is a pre-radio helmet. I found several on...

Have 3 of these (from where?) in my bunker. The nomenclature on the envelope looks very military. They are shipped flat in the envelope & you must "build" them. The first picture is from the...

Shown is an item in my collection, a flight helmet, AN-H-15, marked AAF. The goggles are marked AN 6530. The boom microphone is a MT-522 A/U.

I know the USAAF B-17 aircrews used throat mics in...

Friday was the 73d year since the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima. The first flag was not as famous as the second. Who was first doesn't diminish the fact that they were all brave heroes &...

I have several Japanese firearms in my collection and have been able to decipher & figure out the markings & dates on all of them, except a T38 rifle. It has an intact Mum & the usual T38 receiver...

Jim....I agree, SP1's are not on the same level big $$$ collectibles, but if you wait long enough, the oldies might become goldies. There's already a "retro black rifle" bunch out there. Instead of...

Thanks gentlemen. I already do have some "chieu hoi" ammo bags. What I do not have (and probably never will) are those early waffle mags & pouches.

Enlighten me please--what is the metal...

6 February 1962 was when MACV began in Saigon. 56 years ago. When I was a kid, "56 years ago" was before WW 1 even began. Now 56 years ago doesn't seem so long ago.
Anyway, here's some Nam gear...

Thank you gentlemen for your response/ observations. Yes, Charlie Painter 777. My wife's uncle is S. Sgt. Frank Bren and the family seems to know little about him. While researching via the...
