Weapons & mounts?

[Dieselsmoke]

Okay, what about a weapon/replica and mounting systems forum...or would that be something best left to the actual vehicle section since most mounting systems would be pretty much vehicle specific?
On another note, I'd like to find 3 replica M1 Garands with stacking swivels. Stacking arms in the camp always looks cool and makes for a nice display. []

And again on another note sandbagged machine gun positions make for a really cool display....but who wants to lug around a ton of sand and stack them up :shocked: A guy in our club has his sandbags filled with sawdust, fills them up nicely and is lightweight enough to move around, yet heavy enough not to blow over

Thanks for the suggestion of sawdust in the sandbags. I've been trying to find something light for that exact reason.

Of course all y'all know the easiest way to fill sand bags right? If not take a few pieces of 2x4 lumber and fab up a rack to hold a traffic cone upside down. Cut the end off to suit your flow, pop the bag under and start shoveling.

one thing I've been really amazed at was the cost of replica machineguns for the deuce, there are movie prop companies that make ones out of stamped metal, but they cost almost 1000 bucks a piece or more if you want one that can fire blanks, (and that's for your basic replica m2hb) static ones, made of resin, with NO moving parts are cheaper by comparison, but even they cost about 300 to 500 bucks, I was really amazed.

There are kits available in the Shotgun News to make up replicas. they are usually made up of DeMil and condemned military parts, and a dummy receiver. They are not as cheap as the resin guns, although I have seem=n 30 calibers for around $350. they look and feel like the real thing, but have no internal parts.

There is a guy on ebay that has the resin type M60 M2HB RPG's

for $125.00 -$150.00. And they look well good.

I saw some of those at the Tower Park meet. They look very realistic and for the price can't be beat. They are also designed to fit in standard mounts.
