    Great mountain boots, I have been having a similar pair for years and never realised they were US. This is fun . I like the scope too.

    Mountain trousers, except for the fact that there is no label they are in quite a good condition.

    Why do you think the scope is for a M2 .50 Cal? It looks to me like it might have been for "bore sighting".

    um, not to burst anyones bubble but, as i have shot many a 50 cal i have never seen a scope like that mounted to a 50. but i don't think its for boresighting ether as most of the boresights that i have used, have "boresight " on the data plate.

    In the back of my head I had an image of a .50 with the same sight mounted.....I was pretty sure about my mental image......not so any more, I will try to check it out. The dial was very cheap so there is no big loss if it doesn't fit the Ma deuce!

    M3 tripod mount with pintle and T&E mechanism for the Ma deuce. The cover that came with it is for an M2 tripod though. I'm not sure if this one is WWII or post WWII though!

    Great items, Skylinedrive! Bill Ricca is a very trustworthy person and i know him from a other forum. He deals with guns and parts but sadly not outside of the USA!
    Hope that the M2 will be a working one!;) And not only as a semi auto castrated thing like you would get over here:(
