Hey Brian I saw that one. Aluminum trainer, oversized. Shows how the M2 parts interchange and how they work. I don't see the switch, it might be missing. It is kind of a neat piece, bet it will bring more than a real carbine.....Frank

Here is mine, it is hanging in the garage. Don't look at the cob webs. I have had this about 20 years, paid $550 for it at the Pomona gun show.

If anyone has any, I am looking for a few more rounds for this.

Jim, I like it even with the cob webs!! The one on e-bay is also missing the lever, magazine, barrel and wood. Do you think they are the same otherwise?.....Frank

Frank,

Yes, they are the same. But I think someone would only buy that one for parts. I don't know if you could still find the other items to finish it off.

If you were looking, look for one conmplete. I have (1) plastic cartridge. need a few more. Been looking a long time and haven't found any.

That's funny Jim, mine is in storage and has cobwebs too.

Mike,

I can top that.

I got a BAR trainer from Derrick Mosebar in July of 2008.

With my work schedule, and then some health issues, a death in the family, I haven't even had time to open the crate. It is sitting on the garage floor below the Carbine trainer. How sad is that.

Jim, sure would like to see the BAR trainer, when you get a chance.....Frank

Here's another one missing parts, I e-mailed him about bullets, he said he had one but it is lost. Even with the two on e-bay you would still be short some parts.

All I know is that you guys really know how to decorate a house... Reminds me, where did I put that flamethrower - I wanted to move it into the entryway.... by the field cannon....

Some people are REALLY addicted!!!!
