Re: US WWII M4 Signal Projector and Flares
Very interesting piece. I've heard of one in the wild, but not I'm not sure if its this one or not. A friend of mine was making reproductions. I'm not sure if he ever finished up the project, but he had a lot of the pieces.

I picked up one about 15 years ago at a show, but not as nice in the finish department as this one is.

I heard of someone making reproductions back around Kentucky area but got no responses. I'd like one, or an original, and would trade some M20/M8 parts.

I can totally make these if you're open to loaning it.

We are talking about the same person. I have no idea whether or not he ever finished them. Given that I haven't seen any for sale, I'm guessing not.John Neuenburg wrote: ↑Sat Mar 03, 2018 11:44 amI heard of someone making reproductions back around Kentucky area but got no responses.

Hi guys,
Where any M4 signal flare projectors ever produced? I would like one for my M8 project.
Thanks for any response
