WTS: M2HB/M3HB Blank Fire Barrel Kit w/Blanks
I haven't done any reenacting with my halftrack for a number of years and have all dummies now for show. As a result I no longer have a use for this set-up. This is one of the Bill Guiette .50cal blank firing barrel kits used in movies. It's the complete set-up for the M2HB or M3HB BMG and cycles flawlessly on either full or semi auto. Muzzle blast is equivalent to a live round and just as loud with Swanson's blanks. It comes as shown along with 1,485 blanks......
1000 Linked, Mil-Spec, wad, in 10 cans/4 crates
200 Linked, Swanson, crimped "full load", in 2 cans
103 Loose, Swanson, crimped "full load", in a box
87 Linked, Winchester, crimped "medium load", in 1 can
95 Loose, Winchester, crimped, "medium load", in a box
From Bill's website on this kit:
.50 Cal. M2HB Motion Picture Blank-Fire Adapter.
Converts gun to blank-fire without any visible add-ons The standard for the motion picture industry since 1984. Utilizes a two-piece barrel assy., a modified original barrel support, and a feedway adapter. When assembled to gun, front barrel-half screws into threaded barrel support, and rear barrel-half, with a front piston attached, screws into barrel extension and is headspaced like original barrel. Piston on rear barrel fits in chamber bored into rear of front barrel and provides a means to utilize gas to operate the gun. Original barrel is used for construction of 2-pc. Barrel, in addition to piston made from 1018 steel. Front feedway adapter reversible for changing feed direction. Barrel muzzle threaded 5/8-18 (.250 orifice plug included for use with U.S. Military blanks only). No orifice plug required for use with Swanson’s motion picture blanks. Parkerized. Shipping wt.--50 lbs.
I want to keep the lot all together at this point and would seriously recommend anyone that wants it to come get it. Shipping would not be cheap and obviously questionable that it would all arrive complete/intact. Located in N/E CO. $6000 for the lot.
PM me with any questions. Thanks!

I just want to say that these are the best blank adaptors for the M2 BMG bar none. Good luck with the sale. You don't see many of these sold by their owners.

Yes, Bill still makes them... for now. His website says they're going to be discontinued. I'm not sure when he changed it but you have to supply your own barrel these days and he'll do the rest for $1500.
This set-up certainly gets the crowds attention when you let it rip and it was amazing how many kids lined up for the spent brass!

Someone got a pretty good deal, even with the FN blanks. The Swanson blanks are much better and definitely not cheap.tranham wrote: ↑Fri Apr 09, 2021 3:11 amSimilar set up sold recently on gunbroker FYI
