Belgian M2

Here is a pic I found of Belgian Troops cleaning their M2 Rifles.

Hmmm… Something looks “odd” about this pic. If you look, you can tell that it is a slide because of the reversed image. The charging handle and the selector are on the right side in the pic. Cool pic!

interesting I never really paid attention to it really. I was mainly looking for Belgian M2 pics , this one shows the M2 with a synthetic butt. others I have seen have it with wood. I am making plans to make a clone and have been looking for pics of M2's The barrel is a lugged closed ear rifle. I am just wondering if it is an argy style for a bayonet or a G1 style.

There you go, Sean!

Much better.

Of course the Belgians are cleaning their weapons -- they have been firing blanks. That probably crudded them up a bit.

The M1919A4 in the back ground has a BFA and the linked ammo appears to have no bullets.

cool picture thanks for digging it up.

MordeanGrey,

Thanks! Now I can sleep better knowing that I won't have to find parts for the "elusive and very rare" left handed FAL. Come to think of it though... I don't have a Belgian M2 yet??? Hmmm... time to start trolling the boards for Belgian parts. Later.
