Magazine Thanks for the offer. That sounds real expensive. I'm a fair hand at metalworking and could probably do it myself as I have a real 1918. I just need the details of how they went about doing it. I expect they took the easiest route and I would like to keep it as original as possible. I...

Parts I have the trainer hanging from the rafters right now and don't relish the thought of bringing it back down. Never the less, I could do so if required to measure the parts. What specifically are you searching for. I took numerous pictures when I reworked mine and those might provide the...

2x bar Yes, that's it. Is the magazine steel or aluminum? distshooter

Double size BAR No, I was not missing any parts for the BAR. I just needed a reamer in 6006 caliber to ream the chamber to adjust the headspace. Actually, I was missing the magazine. I built one from a solid block of wood which is non-functioning. Do you have one available? distshooter

Carry handle I'm not sure I understand the question completely, but if your concern is wether the short rifle will achieve 600yd with iron sights, then the answer is yes. The shorter the sight radius, the more influence any movement of the sight will have on impact location of the projectile...

BBL The abbreviation BBL dates back to the late 1800's and the advent of communications via telegraph which was perfected by Samuel Morse (Morse Code). Morse code, though blazingly fast for its era was still a time consuming process. Each letter of every word was comprised of a combination of...

Brownings Due to the heat in your area, along with the additional engine heat, I would go with a pair of water cooled 1928 Colt Brownings. You could plumb the water jackets to the radiator if your lawnmower is water cooled. Most 1928 Colts were chambered in 7.65 Argentine but they are easily...

Judging from your pictures, you have another 3/16 to 1/4 " left of rear travel. I would try to move it foreward though. I see nothing on the rails that could hang up in that slide position. I agree the problem is likely up at the recoil spring or guide. No, it appears impossible to reassemble...

Well, I have tried to reproduce this issue on my two Rugers and haven't been able to get them to lock up. They both tend to bind during reassembly, but with the slide much further forward. If I was in your position, I would lightly tap on the SLIDE with a rubber, or better yet hard plastic...

Sorry, in hte first post I meant ejector, not extractor.

Preferably a picture down the ejection port looking towards the rear of the magazine well. That ejector needs to be manually depressed before moving hte slide to the rear of its travel.

Ejector Can you provide a picture looking down into the magazine well? I seem to remember having an issue with the floating extractor binding on me once in the past. It has been a long time since I hav ehad my Rugers out.

Bill Ricca I tried Bill early on in this project. He only compiled the history of the double size trainers and has no practical knowledge on them. I was unable to remove the barrel and could not determine weather it was threaded into the receiver so I contacted him. He had never seen one in...

Surplus Store I would appreciate contact info for that store. It is a start, which is more than I have now. Thanks

Double Size Trainer Thanks, I have tried Numrich - the girl on the phone really didn't want to deal with me. Told me to call another number. The girl at that number told me to call the first number. Very frustrating. I contacted SARCO and got a phone message in about an hour. They didn't...

I have never posted with photobucket before. Let me know if this works. Here's a picture with a BAR and pack of smokes for scale.[URL="http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk166/distshooter/P1010420a.jpg"]

I have a double size trainer of the 1918A2 BAR. It is made of aluminum and steel and has cut aways to show the internal mechanisms. I am searching for a magazine and some inert ammunition that originally came with this mock-up. Any leads would be appreciated. distshooter
