M48TANKER

If you don't have any success at repairing the cracked forearm, I may have an extra for you.

If you wish to sell your extra magazine spring I sure could use it.

Thanks, Michael Roper

Hello again,

I'm still in need of a locking lug bushing. You may email me at:

Hey Walt, I'm looking for some barrels and some barrel locking lug bushings. Do you have any? Thanks, Michael  Roper

Hello Brian,

What is the best barrel to use as a replacement for a JSAR barrel? Maybe a 1903 Springfield? What did Winfield use?

Is there any source for locking lug collars?

I've been trying to contact Joe Scott and having no luck. I would like to begin making new barrels and provide new wood stocks for collectors. I think Joe was buying "reproduced stocks" from someone and finishing them himself to perfection. I need those contacts if possible. Someone is going to have to pick up where Joe has left off. I can do it.

Thanks, Michael Roper

This may be redundant but I'm not sure if my other messages went through.

I'd like to see the jig you are speaking of.

Also I'd like a price on the "donor" upper for a 1941 JLMG build and any other parts I may need which you could furnish.

Thanks, Mike

Hello Brian,

I knew of all the people on this message board that you would have the contacts necessary on this project.

If you would be so kind as to help me get in touch with the right person, I would greatly appreciate it!

I will hold off on any purchases until I can get in touch with your contact. THANKS....Mike

You may always email me at: "michaeleroper@comcast.net"

I might have to build both a DROR and a 1941 Johnson LMG?

Walt,

First, I want to offer my condolences on your house fire. As a Custom Home Building Contractor, I have been involved with helping to replace or repair many fire damaged homes. I'm 69 years old now and hope and pray that this never happens again. I'm glad to hear that you are getting back to some semblance of normalcy.

What Johnson's or parts, do you have for sale? I might be interested in some burned guns or bayonets.

Thanks.

Brian, how about 6138

Hello Joe,

This is Michael Roper....aka...M48TANKER. I may be in the market for one of your stock sets. Do you have any near completion? If so what is the price shipped?

Have you been able to locate anyone to buy your business? I would be interested but I'd have a lot to learn. I already own a Brown & Sharp #2A Milling machine and a South Bend 9 lathe. I'm a retired Custom Homebuilding Contractor with excellent woodworking skills and quite a bit of gunsmithing and mechanical knowledge.

Please let me know what's going on with you and your health issues. I wish you the best.
