This M38 will need some TLC but will be back in service soon.

Never fails to amaze me the amount of corrosion eaterners have to deal with. At the same time, it appears to be a fairly un-altered example.

Thank you Terry,I certainly will post more. This M38 should be great to work on ,full frame not a unibody like my Canadian M151A2'S that I have been restoring for the past 2 years ,Any info on the CFR service of this M38 would be a good start and a great help .

Samuel,

Great projects you have going there!

Would you please be so kind to attach your images? Please refer to Posting Images on the how to. I'm asking because our experience is that photos hosted elsewhere will disappear sooner or later, rendering your contributions here worthless. Here at MLU, we tend to say:


Thanks,
Hanno

Rob I would love to see some pic's of the A2 you are restoring and as far as the Iltis goes I would rather let bygones be bygones ,its kind of embarrassing to think of all the money I spent and all the money I lost. LOL

Hanno will I need to go back over all the pictures I have already posted and do this? or would this be for any other pictures I plan to add. I have posted them from Photobucket but I think what you would like is for me to post direct from my computer pic's ,would this be right?

Samuel,

I'd say for any new pictures you want to add, and if you have time please edit the ones your posted already. In Posting Images you can read how to upload and attach images from your computer hard disk or from a website link. If they are already on Photobucket already, you can see a table on the right to "Share links". If you copy and paste the "Direct" link in the Manage Attachments pop-up screen, the MLU forum software will attach the picture to your posting here:

Thanks,
Hanno

PS: I must say I am amazed you tackled such a restoration job on the M151A2, the amount of rust is incredible.....
