| Carbine Blank adapter Howdy, Anyone know of a way to fire blanks in the carbine? Do they make a blank adapter for it? If so, where are they available? John Krzos |

| There is a adapter but you would need to thread the inside of the barrel ruining it for other than firing blanks |

| There is also another type that slips over the muzzle and turns to lock on the front sight. But I don't recommend either as both can "damage" a carbine. If you are going to use it for reenactment, you want the inside the barrel type. But remember it ruins the barrel for shooting. Orlando....are you going to OGCA?

E-Mail Query@fulton-armory.com jkrzos, Try Sarco at sarcoinc.com for the Carbine BFA. They advertise them for about $10. Last edited by oldjarhead; 05-07-2008 at 01:42 AM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost | ||

| Carbine blanks and a blank adapter were type certified/adopted in 1945, but with the war ending none were ever produced. The only one available that I know of is the West German that locks around the front sight. Sarco and others occasionaly have these. IF new & complete there is a gas shield that goes over the bolt which is a part of the set. More often you just find the BFA. Blanks are a major problem as the only ones available are those made for reenactors at a cost of 35¢ a round + shipping. jimb2 - How can a BFA damage a carbine??? Also threading the bore in NO way effects shooting live ammo unless you screw up and leave the BFA in. I have shot ALL types of blank adapted weapons for over 28 yrs without any problems unless I screwed up and left the BFA attached when firing live ammo or had a faulty BFA. Sarge |

| There is a blank adapter that threads on but you must tap threads to the inside of the barrel. Thats what affects accuracy for shooting live rounds and ruins collectability. |

| Orlando hit the point on the insert type. As far as the lock on BFA goes, it damages the finish on the barrel (wear) and again lowers the collector value.
