BOEING , Pride in Excellence, 707, 747, 727, 737, 767, 757.  Great SUBJECT MATTER!   

Recently sold, Naval Aviator, "DUTCH", nice that it came with a khaki belt.

Two buckles from the seller above (aka: fitzkeemilitaria .. ps .. good guy!). I believe both planes shown are PV-2 Neptunes.    First buckle is named to the same person: David J. Arends, Patrol Squadron Four, Japan, Okinawa, China, Philippines        Second buckle: Naha, Okinawa, Patrol Squadron Four, US Navy   Great pair of birds!!

U S Marine Corps.  There was a short thread on these kits a number of years ago.  Probably around somewhere or another.   Member Dustin as I recalled had contributed to it. Had a photo of the kit in a Marine jeep and some contract info.

This my link to that movie

Two Osprey flew over my house when President Trump was campaigning at the Mesa Gateway Airport (formerly Williams Air force base).  They nearly shook the windows off my house.  Clearly an intimidating aircraft.    

Turned out nice, I build a PSA h and r clone. I finally got most of the correct a1 HR parts. Took me almost 2 years to find some of the parts, still need an original barrel and receiver but I don't got $1800 to spend lol. The one thing I hate about colt is the lack of a correct lower. I don't know why colt doesn't mass-produce a1 lower clones. I know they had the reissue but I was no way spending $2500 when they originally came out to get a colt lower. The only way to get a clone correct lower is an 80% lower. Im also thinking about building a colt a1 but not sure if I want to spend the money to get a clone correct lower. I got all the colt parts except an upper and barrel. It's just the lower that will be a pain to get "correct".

Thanks  Rich

To keep the original post from becoming to long I'll add more in a second reply. This stock came directly from an HR m16a1 demill. The stock has a faint raised 1 marking on the right side. It's not a scratch, as you can hopefully see in the angled picture it's definitely raised. From the research I have done, i do believe this to be a HR stock. I also have the HR demilled lower this stock was originally on. Now back to the question, I need help identifying the rack number. You can clearly see a 2 and 3 but I can't make out the letter or number in front of the 2. It also looks like there might have been a C above the 23 but I can't confirm that. There is for sure some type of letter or number in front of 23. My plan is to repaint the original rack number. I suppose I could leave the rack number as is, but I think it would look nice repainted. Let me know if I need to take better photos of the rack number.
