1897 trench conversion

[M1 C FAN]

Thank you Sir, I really need to buy your books. I have just started down the Trechgun wormhole. I do not intend to try to fake a Real gun just want to make as near as possible of an affordable version of one. So I would take it I should look for a 4 row heat shield to make my takedown gun WWII correct?

I have a spare soft cover book by Bruce I will send you if you PM me your address to ship. It will just appear. I have two.

What an incredibly generous offer Sir. Thank you so much PM sent. I hope I can repay the favor someday.

Yes, only the very early WWII trench guns had the six row handguard. Most were of the four row variety.

The gun I purchased SR# 894964 has a 30" full choke barrel that I am not going to cut. If anyone has experience with them,What is the opinion of the after market barrels being sold by Numrich? Also so for a conversion I`m thinking all I need for parts would be the bayonet mount/heat shroud, barrel, rear swivel, sling and magazine plug? I already have an extra 1917 bayonet.
