Looking for M8 Flaregun or accessories

Post by David B » Sun Apr 12, 2015 2:02 pm

Howdy-I am putting together an AAF Emergency/Survival collection and am looking for an M8 Flare gun, 35mm flare cartridges for said gun (cartg can be expended/live is desirable) gun port attachment for M8. Also looking for C1 emergency sustenance items for the C1 vest...I have the gaff assembly-looking for the spit in its box. Emergency reversible sun boonie cap (green outside, day orange/yellow inside).

Leads or items for sale appreciated. PM what you have and price. Thanks!

There are usually M8 flare guns listed on GunBroker and GunAuction and infrequently there are correct flares listed.

David,

I used to have an M8 flare gun and a half dozen red star with parachute flares. Sold the flare gun and several flares, but may still have a flare or two. Let me know if your interested ($75 ea. plus shipping). If you think you might be interested, I'll dig them out tonight and let you know how many I have, and snap a picture or two.
