Hello all, first time poster here. Mostly lurk and trying to learn as much as I can. Hoping I will be able to start building within the next year or two and start contributing something to these forums.
I recently bought a partial kit. Came with an israeli left side plate with matching trunnion and an unusual lower plate. All three had the same finish. The lower plate looks thicker than normal ones I've seen and has seven holes instead of the usual and the holes don't line up with the side plate. It's hard to tell from the pictures because it's double stamped, but it says MD ORD on the bottom (Maryland Ordnance? anyone ever heard of them?). All the rest of the parts in my planned build are brand new from Iron Creations, Ohio Ordnance, and Halo.
Anyone know what this is? A piece for a prop gun? A bottom plate to some other Browning-like gun? The inner dimensions are standard so I plan on welding the holes and using it.
