FS: Fully restored 1955 M38A1

Post by cabinfever »

I have decided to sell my M38A1. It had a full restoration in 2011. Everything works. Starts and runs great. Tranny and TC work perfectly. All lights work. Brakes work. Includes all the canvas: top, side curtains, and doors. The reason for the sale is we need the funds to put toward a RV. We would like to do some traveling after I retire next year.

This M38A1 is mounted with an M2HB made by "Show of Force". This is a museum quality piece made by a machinist who makes them for military museum. It is non-firing. I uses many original parts. The M2 cannot be distinguished from the real thing unless you are right next to it. You can pull back the bolt handle and it "cock" the firing pin. Then, when you hit the trigger, it makes a snapping sound. This M2 is all steel and is parkerized. It is so authentic that the barrel has rifling.
