Some M2's

[Promo]

Well, I cheated a bit on the topic - but anyway: I purchased some "spare parts", they're free to own here and I thought to myself it could be that some time I'm able (and allowed) to put a M2 together, so why not take it.

And well, nearly forgot - took two M14 receivers aswell. Now hunting for the Springfield and H&R M14 receiver to complete the collection

Lucky you.

To me it is a waste of receivers here. To be thrown away because of a single number stamped onto the front of the receiver. It takes a lot more then the receiver, it is but one part. At least you could salvage a historical weapon using it. Just a way to destroy another gun. Hell, you can modify an M1 receiver and make it work in auto.
I think it would be better to make the disconnector lever, block and plunger the retricted parts. Without those parts it will not go bang any faster then an M1. But you can find them all over the place. Strange logic to me.

I don't understand either. If the FA is registered, what's the problem. People don't use FA's to pull jobs, it's mostly notes and angry looks. And they work just fine.

Well, depends upon every country. At least something to start with

Nice photos, especially from a phone!

Nice late receivers too!

@USGI: Always those EXIF readers . I know why I used to delete those in the past. Well, if you ruined your cam and prefer to spend your money rather on guns than on a camera you need to arrange (but it's not a easy thing to make good pictures with an iPhone).

I'm asking myself whether I should buy more of those (M2 receivers) as there are more available. Mainly I bought those as I thought they're available now, but what might be in the future.

I have had some M2s over the years, but never kept them.
I could use one for my collection.
One stamp ( 2 ) and we don't have a snowballs chance in H*ll of taking them to the range.

You know, I have never had anybody check my receivers when I have gone to any range. Not that they would find anything out of line. People come over and want to see a Carbine, Garand, and 45 when I bring them. I let some shoot them. But never has anyone checked the receiver ring. I don't know if they just don't know about it to even look, or know about it at all. That includes the rangemasters. That's why I think it is pretty silly to ban a receiver because of a number.

I aquired two M2 stocks for my M2 receivers. Both have several markings on them. Comparing them side to side I noticed that one of the two stocks is noticeable thicker on the foreend than the other one, I hope it's visible in the pictures. How comes and why is this that way?

I also recently aquired a nice looking stock as the price was OK and I liked the style of it. Just to make sure that I understood everything correctly: this is what you would call a highwood stock and it has the so-called I-cut? Any idea what the markings on that stock mean?

And it does not belong to this thread once again, but I got another M14 receiver for my collection, now the Springfield is the only one missing. Any idea why all of them have the marked scratches (or whatever this is)?
