Hey grant. check out this .45. My bud used to love that thing, that's him in the forefront and that was his weapon of choice believe it or not. It's the old greasegun, cost about $7.50 to make. The breach would flip open and the bolt had a finger hole in it that you pulled back to **** it. Sure put out some serious lead in thick bush though...when he could keep it firing that is. As you can see, I went for a little larger bore on mine...hehe

 

Very nice and a great pic! Thanks for sharing it.

 

Hey Bob
I loved the grease gun when I was able to carry it, simple and great close quarters weapon.

 

Cell phone and a credit card for me, maybe a multitool. The few times that I have needed anything SE I just pull into one of tha many auto parts chains that have loaner tools and borrow what I need.

 

Heavy little sucker wasn't it? You are right though, close quarters would shoot right through grips of bamboo. He had lots of challenges with the mags. The gun worked fine, but those mags were always getting hung up. About the only gun oil we had reg. access to was SLA, you remember that stuff? LOL guerrilla snot. So his mags were always all gummed up. It was good to hear him working it though when it was firing.

Personally, my fav. was the 204 over/under m16/m79 (got hold of one of those in early '71 when they first issued them out) and of course, my colt. I kept BB rounds in the 79 and by then we also started getting some 30 round bananas for the 16. so that was nice piece. Also I carried a sawed off single shot 12 gauge that was about 8-12" long, looked like a pirate gun. I kept that in the top flap of my ruck, just in case. To top all that off, I carried 30 pounds of c4 too because I was a demo man. LOL, hey we all can't live forever, eh?

What year were there bro?

 

You mean 203? Carried one of those occasionally. I was not in Nam, too young, was in Recon late 70's, as a S/S (8541) we had the pick of any weapons still in the armory as a backup. Always carried a 1911 and the M3 since they used the same ammo.

 

203, 204...I don't remember. It had two barrels was all I needed to know. One went rat-tat-tat and the other went: plunk...wait for it, ka-boom!

Ahh, so the 8541 connection, cool. I think if I was to add military numbers to my handle it would have to be: Article 15. LOL, got plenty of those...

 

Well it was either 8541 or 51/50 ... lol

 

These come in handy. Obviously only need the standard and torx.
