I got the bug. It started with the seemingly innocuous purchase of a 1917A1 Spanner Wrench from Sir Plus. (I love the original box marked "Atlas Mfg. Co") Real early WW2 Stuff.
Then I called OOW about their 1917A1 Tripod, since I now had a wrench that needed a tripod. Then wanted a 1917 Semi auto - funds limited supply tight, opted for the 1928 Colt Argentine Contract. Now OOW is not making anytime soon, but the complete gun kits, as oppossed to the parts kits, are available. This includes milled internals, semi side plate and in .30-06. Everything including the rivits. Gun only.
Plan on making this as close to a WW2 era 1917A1.
Planning ahead on accessories, in the market for the hose, steam chest, etc.
I would not have considered building one without this sight and having a ORF 1919A4. Seems logical enough. Looking forward to my first build.
Thanks all for your insights and continued inspiration.
