Bowman Arms M2HB

[SNAFU22]

This is cross posted on another forum. I put everything else on hold to get this M2HB parts kit from Bowman Arms. Its an AC Spark Plug, Div. of GM. WWII gun in really nice shape. I bought the parts I needed from Sarco, Apex, BMG, MSG, Numrich, GB, and Ebay. I got the semi auto RSP, trigger and sear from KMP. I decided to weld up and use the original right side plate to keep the markings. Modified the buffer body, bolt, barrel extension, trigger block, bolt hold open, and added denials to the side plate for a semi auto build. I made a rivet setter and smashed them with a 3 pound hammer. Top cover closes nice and back plate slides in. Everything was ready to dry fit and test with dummy rounds. It would not cycle without lube. Got it all wet and everything got cozy and cycled fine I welded the tripod scraps together and made the pintle latch from scratch. I had a lot of fun putting this together and its a blast to shoot.
