dgrev Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Everyone This thing was amongst some British parts I have. See photo. I don't know what it is, a thing to be sure, but what sort of thing? The shape vaguely suggests an adaptor for a very heavy antenna? The threaded section that sticks out the fatter end spins loosely, which seems pretty self defeating. The stud on the skinny end is fixed.

Adrian Barrell Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I think it's the rear half of a dummy barrel for a .50 M2 mg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrev Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 I think it's the rear half of a dummy barrel for a .50 M2 mg. Hey Adrian, That sounds plausible. Why would they make it multi piece and this section so short and not make the barrel full length? The screw together design seems like a real weakness?

Adrian Barrell Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It's a good place to join two halves as there is a major dimension change at that point but a loose thread does seem a little odd. Not all replicas are created equal........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
