That stock is black walnut, which is correct. Same with the M1s. The issue is that the USGI stocks were submerged in linseed oil and totally impregnated with it. It would eventually polymerize and harden up the structure of the wood. Nobody does that anymore. It was efficient for mass wartime production, but not for small scale civilian manufacturing these days. They get a surface finish now and get shipped out. Surface finishes are much more prone to scuffing and damage.
The walnut stocks are correct till 1942 after that they switch to the Bakalite stocks. I actually forgot to mention that. I didn’t know that about the surface finish that makes sense.
@@THEPAGUNGUY If you look up 1917 Enfield production, there's a video that shows Enfield's being built start to finish. At one point you see the floor open up and at stand come out of a dark liquid. In the stands are the stocks as they pick them off the racks. It's a really cool video. It's at the 4 minute mark or there abouts.
Tell ya what I got a TISAS 1911 A1 Great 1911! I put the GI grips on it and use Wilson combat mags. Feeds federal HST and Speer Gold Dot. Great 1911 and would take it over any kimber
I can't swallow the 8 grand pill! They are nice, but for that money, I'd rather get a real transferable reising or one of the Semi Auto FG42's. So I bought a BAR parts kit with a good WW1 era date so the receiver isnt arma steel and will build that semi auto only. It will be much cheaper and be real with history.
Private Reiben in "Saving Private Ryan" used his BAR without the tripod or carry handle. Like you said, soldiers would have wanted to reduce the weight of the weapon by ditching those components, therefore making it easier to carry and fight with.

I like how you check the time in the middle of shooting lol
I have an Apple Watch and a iPhone I record on. The watch is a view finder for the iPhone I was making sure i was in frame still
Would love to handle one of the old style ones like that. I have handled the hcar and loved it, but cant afford $8000.
I’m right there with you as far as money goes.. I’ve seen those Hcars and they look really bad ass I’d love to shoot one.

Yea now that you said that I remember. I know for sure at least in a few episodes of band of brothers the BAR has the bipod on it.
The Carry handle was a post war addition for the most part
@@vitoscaletta7151 Yeah, they were issued December 1944.
