    I remember receiving three NIB M3A1 submachineguns for our Combat Engineer Vehicle in the late 1970's. Delivered by USPS and left on the front step of the Armory door anyone could have walked off with them.

    imntxs564-- Many of the commercial contracted arms in WWII were built from subcontracted parts. Buffalo Arms was one of those subcontractors. The prime example is the M1icon Carbine. Several folks over at 1919A4.com have built semi auto M1919A4s from Buffalo Arms parts. Its unique disease for semi auto BA marked M1919A4 not unlike the Border Cities Industries (BCI) marked parts.

    Cheers

    I would have loved to, I enjoyed mine. I had a second barrel with a can that changed the game completely. I sure went through a pile of ammo with it then...

    British modified magazine catch area

    Sometimes called the "Britishicon horseshoe" is a bar tack welded across the mag catch area to prevent an accidental bump which might release the magazine
