WTS: Complete M2HB Retracting Slide Assembly -SOLD

This is a used, take-off from a demilled WWII M2HB, all complete just as it came off the gun. All parts are in very good to excellent condition. There is a little bit of orange oxidization discoloration on the pivoting handle bracket, but one would probably refinish the whole assembly anyway. Normal finish wear other than that. Sold as is, but it is all in perfect working order and can be installed as is, ready to roll.

Asking $300 shipped via Priority Mail. First post here gets it, follow up by PM or e-mail. I can take major credit cards, or you can mail funds. Thanks!

Lucky, I would not refinish that, it looks great the way it is now. I have a few 1919 parts with that brownish orange finish. I have always wondered why some parts turned that color. I think i see a partial K so I think its a kesley-hayes wheel MFG. wish I could afford it now but between you and russ and lee I am broke

Thanks, Allan. I do agree that it has that nice vintage look in terms of the faded plum color, which seems to be characteristic of the cast iron parts. But there was a thin patch of rust oxidization on that handle part, right in the pocket recess. It was very minor, and it cleaned up with light steel wool, so it doesn't really show anymore. But I wanted to disclose all in detail. Sorry we broke you and took all your money, lol. Hopefully, someone will have a need for this before I go the auction route. I am a bit below Sarco's price, and the condition is as good as one finds for the parts having been in service.

On the mfg, I don't know if the K is a Kelsey-Hayes mark, though it certainly is what they used. The MPD marking is on many components, and my research tells me that was a subcontractor on these assemblies, and were commonly used on guns of all manufacturers, even those who made their own parts. This set came off a Colt gun, but may not have been its original set it left the factory with.

I always wanted a second one so I could put a charging assembly on each side of the gun. Buuuut, not today. Too busy buying presents for the kids.
