Picked it up this morning. Never having a vintage machinegun or any other wwii gun before it's amazing. Thinking about where it has been and who held it is crazy. The dings in the stock and finish wear and patina. A thompson might be next...
I've been to 4 gun shows and looked on gunbroker and local classifieds for a year. I have seen nothing under that except universal, iver johnson, and plainfields.
I finally found an m1 host for my registered kit close to me. It's a national postal meter with Winchester barrel from CEMP with box. Seller wants $1500.
I was thinking olympic. They made billet and forged. I had a Wilson E.A. cast reciever that I wanted anodized 20 yrs ago and no one would touch it. Had to have it moly coated.
Ive owned 3 and currently have one. Last one I used a full auto rated screw on can. It got filled with shit quick but I could switch it to my Norell 10/22. Val told me an integral is best. I would call E&L and ask if he knows someone who can build it. You"ll just need a mid sized (16") donor barrel.
I finally got my custom upper done for my M16 and Omega 36. I have shot lots of suppressed pistol caliber but never rifle. I want to shoot at a friends property Sunday on 10 acres not so much in the country. Is the noise enough for neighbors to know its gunshots?
My omega 36 just transferred in and it looks too long with the 20 inch barrel. My gunsmith is going to build me an upper this week. But he needs to know what barrel length. This is going on a Colt M16A2. Also should I ditch the fixed stock and get a collapsible one?
Thanks
My stepfather is retiring from a smaller size town sheriff this year. They have 4 AC556 folders they acquired in 1985. He cannot locate any paperwork. I would think they would have to be transferable? If so can a sheriff sell these to a private citizen?
Thanks
