Hi Norm,
You just have to be lucky to find them....... and persistant. A guy called me a couple of years ago and mentioned he had talked to a guy back east who had a complete 1915 Artillery Rig and he thought I might want to call him. I did and this guy had this rig for a long time and was a Winchester collector. It was in 98% condition, unit marked on the back grip strap, had a matching magazine, matching stock, holster, straps, 2 mag pouch, 1st issue snail drum with dust cover and machine gun adaptor, and snail drum loading tool with it. He had traded for it about 20 years ealier and had decided it was time to get rid of some of his stuff. When I heard what he had I was pretty excited and agreed to purchase it right then. No hesitation on that one. Sometimes you just gotta be Lucky. --- Bill
