Has anyone ever made a semi auto grease gun?? This gun is coming up on my WWII list but I dont know if there are even any around. I can find full auto's but no semi's.

Valkyrie Arms (Val Johnson) made them, they were expensive, didn't work, she didn't deliver in a timly fashon, and then she filed Bankruptcy.
Yep that about covers it....

just because someone else screwed it up doenst mean that it cant be done.

we build just about anything we set our minds too.

if you really want one lets talk about it and see whats out there.

Oh, I don't know about all of them, but mine (1 of 5, we bought) still shoots fine.
Yeah the service and delivery sucked (deja vu? Who does that bring to mind?)
Good shooter, though the extractors were a little weak (supplier problem) they were replaced with mil-spec M3A1 extractors.

very nice guns and this does look buildable if the kits are available.

a tube gun is a tube gun.... not that tough to build.

I want one, but right now Im not willing to spend the $$$ I think im gonna have to spend... I am waiting for Ohio Ordnance to call and tell me my BAR is ready so I have to keep my funds ready to take that hit, which for me is substantial... but to me, thats the centerpiece of my collection.. the BAR has been a dream gun of mine for over 10 years

Im soooo affraid though cuz its not gonna be done til sometime this winter or later they said... im scared some kind of awb will go through and I wont get my baby...

Great looking guns Arizona

True, but an M3/M3A1 is not a tube gun. It was made from two stamped sides welded together at the seams. The Valkyrie Arms M3A1 was made from a tube with a cast aluminum lower I believe. It kinda looked like an M3A1, but was really quite different.

Sure would be nice if someone would make up some stampings... I heard that some were made aftermarket years ago. Anyone here in the metal stamping business?

fair enough.

i was just looking at the picture up there..... and even if those are a stamping it could be done in a tube that would be really close in looks.

but then again, we been getting some real good jigs runing around for bending stamped stuff..

Whoever stamped out those HK/CETME flats could sure do it I think. No bending jig required for the M3/M3A1, just the two stampings, one left hand and one right hand.

I'd consider trying to get some made, but how many could I sell- 5 or 50 or 500 sets? How many parts kits are out there?

ya know im still not sure which lie about the cetme flats we did is true.....

who really stamped them to start with???

but yes the jig made a hell of a finished product out of them.

that would be real cool for one of these..

are there parts kits for these out there??

Az Beagle, can i get a copy of the manual in the pic?
I bought a Valk. grease gun at a show 2nd hand for $300 but the seller forgot to bring the booklette. No problems with mine either.
$300.00? Were you wearing a mask at the time?:D

PM me an address and I will send you a copy.
