I do not have an online shopping cart. Once installed, that piece of software will automatically bill each customer for everything. As I run out of original material, I am constantly having to change customers' orders. Most orders would require more work issuing credits. If I were selling newly made items, online clearance of credit cards would not present a problem. All credit card and contact information is on each page. You can call in your credit card, email it, or send it by mail.

For the ultimate collectors of carbines, or carbine magazines, available is an original box of 100 magazine covers. PHOTO  This item was still in development in 1945, but never standardized or contracted until after the war ended.  So far the earliest contract found is this one from 1953. Original box contains nomenclature and contractor's name. PHOTO Original box also contains directions, as this was a pretty new item for its time. PHOTO    If you plan on using them, covers still have the original powdered white preservative and must be soaked in luke warm water with mild dish detergent. Original unopened box of 100............... $60.00

D9    M8 Jointed Cleaning Rod, WWII production, for carbine use only.  This rod is proper length to stop short of hitting receiver’s rear, thus
breaking tips and bending brushes. Each rod will include a US GI bore brush and carrying case.

When the rod was developed, both the 4 section carrying cases and the later 3 section carrying cases were authorized for use.  As a general rule you can assume the 4 section cases were issued earlier.  Here is a quick summary of production:
 

4 Section Production

3 Section Production

1941 thru 1944

1943 thru 1965

You can now order separately a collectible carrying case from WWII or more common ones for storage of your rod.  The below photos will give you examples.

West German case, produced in Holland circa 1958.  Most dealers include this one with their rods.  PHOTO  $6.00 Each (Just a few available)

US GI 3 piece OD case, produced 1964 and 1965.  PHOTO $8.00 Each or order with M8 rod for $22.50.

US GI WWII 4 piece Khaki, undated PHOTO.  Shades of Khaki vary.  This version was produced 1943 through 1944.  $15.00 Each or order with M8 rod for $30.00 Each

US GI WWII 4 piece dated, Khaki or OD, produced 1943 through 1944. Dated cases are a scarce commodity so I cannot guarantee which color or date is available at time of your order.  PHOTO  $20.00 Each or order with M8 rod for $35.00 Each.

D10  Torque Wrench, Orig, GI, Mfg’d. during the 1980’s. 
For measuring torque when installing rear sight. 
Direct support thru Depot, No Carrying Case...................$27.50

D11  Same as above, Armorer’s version with metal
Carrying Case ………………..........................…………….$40.00

D12  Late Issue US GI Caliber .30 Field Rod.  This rod
is an adaptation of the swivel handle from the late 1980's.
Two sections and the tip make it the perfect size
for the carbine. When assembled the brush will not hit the
rear of the receiver. Comes with carrying case and
bore brush.   ........................................................................... $12.00
  
PHOTO   Assembled for storage: PHOTO

D14 Blank Firing Attachment (BFA), Dutch, 1950's manufactured. This BFA was produced in 1958 and probably through the 1960's, in Holland.  The BFA was issued to the Dutch troops and was also issued in West Germany during those early days of NATO. 

The BFA is being offered as follows:

bullet

Early production with acceptance proof, NATO Federal Stock Number, and month and date of manufacture (58)  marked on the body. PHOTO  $20.00

bullet

Late production with acceptance proof only. PHOTO  $15.00

The BFA can be displayed on the carbine. PHOTO  It has a red band around the body for a visual warning to prevent the use of service ammunition with it mounted. It rotates to lock onto the barrel with a spring and plunger assembly. These BFA's will not fit any carbine that has a stamped front sight from US WWII production; the sights are too wide.  The majority of front sights were machined (and thin cast during the 1960's) in US production. Additionally the West Germans produced their own machined sights during the late 1950's.

Cleaning Patches, US GI, flannel, smooth and rough sided. Large 4 inch x 4 inch, these were produced back in the 1970's for the .50 caliber BMG. PHOTO  Cut in half and get two uses for the price of one. Pack of 100/$7.50

 Return Policy

Every item sold is guaranteed to function as originally designed.  Items purchased which do not function as originally designed, will be replaced at no charge to the customer.  Items purchased for uses different than they were originally designed, will void the guarantee, and those sales are final.  Returned items must be in the same condition as when shipped and any alteration will void our guarantee. Call or email if in doubt, we are here to help.

Items purchased and then returned due to customer error will result in a restocking charge of 25%. 
In the event that item brings the total purchase below our minimum order, a $5.00 charge will be applied to the credit due.  Items returned for replacement due to customer error may result in addition shipping charges.

Sorry but I cannot sell parts based upon color requests.  Nobody on the internet can match their parts with your rifle, which is hundreds of miles away.  Ask and it will be recommended you attend a gun show with those items you want to match and compare them with what is available for sale.

All items for return must be tendered to the returning carrier within one week of receipt by customer.  We recommend high value items be returned via UPS to our return address on the shipping label.
