M-79 parts WTB
I'm working on restoring an old Springfield Armory M-79, and am looking for any internal small parts. Drop me a PM if you have anything around. I know most can be bought from J&T but they are a bit on the costly side. Figured there might be some floating around in some old armorer's kit bag, that I could provide a good home for. Be a good project for post-op rehab...  GROG
Edited to add:
The 79 I have is a registered destructive device, class III. Thanks TR!

I would assume that you are complying with all Federal and state laws in this build, and the M-79 is NFA compliant.

She's up, and running. Fired her first two rounds today (ALS Short Range smokes) http://s119.photobucket.com/albums/o...ng07-12-08.flv
I had to make a locking lug for the barrel, out of aluminum U channel, but, hey, it works! Just a bit of re-finishing to do, and I can take some close-up photos. GROG

Congratulations. I've always had a soft spot for M-79s myself (usually a "lightly bruised" soft spot ). Now you need to win the lottery so you can afford to shoot the good stuff.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Same here, I would not mind owning one too. We called them blooper guns.
Photos would be nice. Thanks in advance.
