My Carbine

[Mikey51]

Hi Gunner, emmigee has it right. Here's a pic to show what he describes. There is no need at all for a weld in that place to make an M2. What is worth thinking about however ... I have seen Carbines from several places (especially Germany), where an old scope/ tap/drill hole, has been welded over in that place. Cheers, Mike. N.Z.
