18B's and Wannabes, Name This Item
 

Following TR's lead,but with a slight twist, here is something that you will probably never see. What is it ??

Air.177 DO NOT PARTICIPATE !!

Broken?

I would guess torch cut parts for a machinegun, likely an imported one, but am not sure of the specifics yet.

TR

Way beyond Broken, "De-Milled" !!

De-milled=De-Militarized. Same Same Destroyed. (To those that are not of strong will and ingenuity !!)

TR is close.

Giant over-under shotgun?

TR

Not a Shotgun unless you consider repetitive rounds to be "Shot" !!

I think I see welding!

Damn, It's nice to be "In The Know" for once:D

AA Gun?

It could be used for that.

Mr H is right, there was quite a bit of Welding involved. Much much more machining of 4140 though. Bending the shiny piece was a REAL chore.

I believe that these are torch cut demilled components of a machine gun.

The scale in the first pic threw me off, but the paper it is on, if standard 8"x10" sheets, is more reasonable.

The design appears to be of a weapon with a spring or operating rod tube roughly the same diameter of and parallel to the barrel.

Barrel appears to be quick change, so not a BAR.

It appears to be the pintle mount section of the weapon, basically the front of the receiver and barrel extension/op rod area.

I do not recognize it as a modern system, looks more like WW II era piece. Not a 1919, nor an MG42, nor a Nambu, from my perspective. Maybe Czech, like a ZB26, or Soviet?

Good game AM, where are the 18Bs?

TR

Come On Crip !!!

Buffer spring housing for a DSHK?

NDD's "favorite 18B candidate" does not have a clue.

First some Riveting:

More welding.

I believe that is an M-60 Machinegun Receiver.

My final answer.

TR

TR get's the Cookie !!:D

And next.

I can drink beer legally, and will when I see you.

Man, that is an OLD pic, a REAL removable pull top. Mixing Bud and Coors? Pre-'86, I am sure.

TR

A very slow process.

It works !!

Air.177's Mom hosing !!

And of course, Air.177.........!!:munchin

Aha, aiming low at an early age!

Probably appropriate for a D Model with the spade grips.

TR

To ALL !! That is a LEGALLY REGISTERED Title II Weapon. I was fortunate enough to build it just before the manufacturing ban for "Civil" use went into effect. TR had it, mid '80s.

Is that pic of Air recent? LOL

In reference to our ages it was yesterday.

Nice Sock Monkey, BTW, Air.177!

TR

Well, I'll take it as a compliment that these two thought me enough of a target for such a preemptive strike. And I'll have you all know it's a sock BEAR Thank You Very Much.

Absolutely.

And a very nice Sock Bear it is.

I am sure that they humored you when you called the Sock Monkey that. "Aw look, isn't he the cutest little thang?"

Do you still have it?

If we don't get our 5.11 order soon, you will see it again here. Tell your CTD Boss that we can come to visit for a while till they come in. We can have a little tea party.

Unless AM kills us off in the meanwhile for pulling your chain. You realize we don't bother playing with the people we don't like, BTW.

Always great when someone you know well puts the chum in the waters for you. :D

Take care.

TR

.

Cool picture of Air.177, I didn't know he was that old...

Speechless?

TR

Chum? Mmmmmmmmmm. LOL

That was really neat to see. Thanks AM. I have never seen anything like it.

Uh oh, no response from Air.177, I think he's in the back assembling packages, everyone be real careful opening any stray boxes you get in the mail...

Yes:

And, as you can see, He is less than impressed with being called a "Monkey"
