    Finally completed the MAC Carbine upper set (sort of)

    That’s what makes it fun for me! The little nuances and details. There aren’t many people into the MAC stuff on that level. Plenty of retro Colt guys sitting around analyzing dimpled selector switches etc but not many guys get into that stuff with these guns, I know a couple other big...

    Finally completed the MAC Carbine upper set (sort of)

    There was the M11/9 Thompson style upper, had a die cast Thompson style grip and ribbed barrel, Cobray printed into the grip, pretty cool and kinda on the rarer side. That upper came much later, FMJ era, early 90s. I collect the RPB and MAC era stuff (mostly RPB) but a few of these are RPB...

    Finally completed the MAC Carbine upper set (sort of)

    Do you have the same 11/9 rifle upper in the pic I posted? With the long heat shield? Or the standard production model with the shorter heatshield and ribbed barrel? Just wondering, as I’ve never bumped into any other examples of the long shroud 11/9 upper in the wild before

    Finally completed the MAC Carbine upper set (sort of)

    The sights on the receivers have been hammered down flat, so that there is only a front sight on the barrel shroud.

    Finally completed the MAC Carbine upper set (sort of)

    I finally scored the RPB era M11 .380 Carbine upper receiver that had been eluding me for the last few years of collecting. I now have a complete set of RPB carbine uppers (sort of), M10, M11 and the very early 1983-84 SWD “transitional” M11/9 carbine upper. The early 11/9 carbine upper...

    Federal ordnance/John Masen flash hider?

    Does anybody know where I can find one of the fed ord/masen slip on flash hiders with the bayo lug and protective ears on the front sight? I just score a nice 183 series blue steel mini and want to jazz up the barrel like I did on my SS 181. I prefer the looks of the bayonet lug but it seems...

    M11/380 Registered Trigger in a PKM

    Yes. I explained this in detail in my previous post…. The sear block is supposed to catch on the sear notch if an open bolt assembly is installed. The closed bolt is rounded on the front end so that it smoothly rides over the sear block instead of catching on it (the same way an SMG with a...

    M11/380 Registered Trigger in a PKM

    This is wrong. You CANT install an open bolt in the closed bolt semi. There is a sear block that prevents the open bolt from closing. As I mentioned in the previous post, the sear block in the semi auto closed bolt M11/9 is in the lower receiver. You have to remove the welded sear block...

    LAGE 11/22 KIT

    There is one listed in the parts for sale board right now if you are still looking… not my ad, and I’m not affiliated with the seller.

    M11/380 Registered Trigger in a PKM

    The open bolt doesn’t drop in and function, the lower receiver has a sear block that prevents this. The lower would have to be modified for this to work. Not sure how they feel about sear blocks being removed from host guns. The m2 kits don’t require the host gun to be modified at all, it...

    This has turned into a legendary thread!! Some great pics in here! I have a few of those Cobray diplomas, they are not filled out but have the exact same signatures in the red and blue pen, were they hand signed or copies???

    Atlanta PD MAC

    I go to PA shows, valley forge area eagle arms shows and Morganville. Gunshows are usually a big let down these days… the occasional decent deal on a used magazine but rarely anything else worth talking about. Me and my wife wore bomber jackets with Cobray patches to the last one… not a...

    I guess I should start going to your gunshows I saw photos of him online from some event not too long ago, may have been on his instagram. He was wearing a black beret with a gold Cobray logo on it, the Cobray symbol had wheat around it, it was something unique to Jason as far as I have...

    I know a guy who did the Nicaragua thing back in the 80s.. he went and supported the Contras with some civilian group, I forget what they were called, but i don’t think they ever actually got to get involved in the real dirty work. Here’s a Cobray school brochure Were you familiar with...

    I can only imagine. If I had one of those special deloreans the first place I’d go is an Atlanta gunshow in the early 80s and then take a trip over to BQM, I’ve heard so many cool stories about that showroom, I loved army surplus stores when I was growing up in the early 90s, and BQM was the...

    I won one of these on eBay a few months ago, the seller had misquoted the shipping then tried to tell me it was gonna cost over 100 bucks to ship so I passed on it… wish he could have figured out a cheaper way to ship. I’ve got a mint BQ zippo in my collection as well as cufflinks and various...

    It looks like EAGLE magazine took a lot of their photos at the Cobray/SIONICS center. Here’s the cool berets..

    Mitch’s son (or sons, not sure if Geoff was involved) owned BQM. They are in a lot of the catalogs, modeling some of the camo clothing. I collect vintage BQM stuff, the catalogs as well.

    I have that plaque as well! Very cool! That SWD field case with the SIONICS patch is too cool. I would love to find one of those patches. Speaking of patches from the training center, did you have one of those berets with the Cobray logo on it? Or the sionics eagle? Still got it...
