Looking for two replica .50 cal. machine gun barrels with the cooling jackets...and two 500 lb bomb replicas as well. I have found the replica bombs online, but I can't justify the almost
$1000 apiece that they are asking.
I am looking to spruce up my Freightliner soon, the .50's will work out nicely moulded into the hood, and I'd like to find a pair of 500 lb bombs made of fiberglass, that would mount to the frame behind the fuel tanks on my Freightshaker. I need all the help I can get to find a parking space at the truck stops.

Gary, at the Banaire link click on "military surplus" and then "gun barrels".

Jay Wisler also has the following listed:

A-261
50 Caliber Aircraft Cooling Jacket, WWII design, brand New
$ 125.00 ea

If just plastic barrels will do, I don't think you'll beat the prices here, although cooling jackets are only .30 cal size:

Dan, thanks for the leads! Well worth checking into...

BDK...I know that they have the barrels and the cooling jackets...I also know that the prices have gone up since I'd last enquired from them....But, I should be in Chino Monday, and I'll check in with them again....

Thanks Guys!
