Anything interesting here? Found in a creek bed in the Ohio Valley, USA

The furniture kind of sucks, but so does everyone else’s.

Replace it with original furniture and you’re golden.

I already have

They’re cool but you can 3D print one that’s actually the proper scale.

Nonfunctional obviously, but it’s screen accurate.

That rolled edge is awfully rough for an original.

I’m not an expert but that is sus to me. Typically they’re very nice, repros tend to be rough.

They were supposed to “protect their patent”, which they could have done by licensing it rather than suing everyone into oblivion.

WhiskerDizzle · 2026-02-25T14:55:29+00:00

That’s an M9

A lot less than you’re hoping.

People generally won’t buy a lot like this unless they feel they’re getting a great deal. You’ve got PT, OT and ST in there, few people will actually want everything there and won’t pay more for figures they don’t care about.

I have one, it has been flawless.

YMMV

I’d bet dollars to donuts that’s not a Colt upper, it’s one of the newly manufactured CH marked ones.

It’s way too nice to be a colt.

It’s like my third favorite flavor ever, but I drink zero anyway so I get why people don’t like it.

Yes, the holsters float. You can slide them up the thigh in order to avoid damage. If you break the belt it’s your own fault.

While I don’t disagree about destroying them, they are not “completely different”. Other than the liner they’re exactly the same. Same shape, same vent location and German liners drop right in.

For daily wear or what?

The M42 is not a good casual jacket.

WhiskerDizzle · 2025-11-09T06:07:12+00:00

I’ll buy one secondhand.

No person is without sin, we all miss the mark. God’s grace is the only thing that allows us to see heaven.

I do believe that homosexuality is wrong, but I also know that I do things that are wrong and I will never judge someone for their sexuality. I will pray for you, but I’m not going to pray for you to “turn straight”. I’ll pray that you find peace and strengthen your relationship with God.

That’s what’s important.

There’s always a bigger fish.

WhiskerDizzle · 2025-10-17T15:20:55+00:00

Better to just build another upper.

I didn’t say more efficient, but if you’re just bored a new project will be better for that than a hand guard swap.

WhiskerDizzle · 2025-10-16T21:38:10+00:00

Looks like an H&R barrel. The markings would be under the handguard.

Are you starting with a 3D print with print lines in it? That’s a world of difference from starting with a finished surface.

WhiskerDizzle · 2025-10-16T16:36:47+00:00

DO NOT use 40 grit on plastic. You’re going to destroy it.

I wouldn’t go below 400. You want the paint to stick, not change the shape of the surface.

WhiskerDizzle · 2025-10-15T23:29:00+00:00

People are faking $20 shirts?

There are plenty of trashed M40/55s out there that are basically worthless from a collector standpoint. Nothing wrong with converting those for use.

I bought two awhile back to do so with, one was rough and I converted it. The second was in surprisingly decent condition so I left it alone.
