Otter LRC CM4647296 comes home

[Jordan Baker]

The three boxes under the turret foot ring are Boyes Ammunition boxes. There is no sign of ever having a shelf mounted on the floor near the foot ring.

The turret rotates on 60 1/2” ball bearings. It’s supposed to be able to rotate quite freely.

As for the 37pat web straps. These clips are steel. I’ll have to take a closer look to see what remains of any webbing inside the clips.

As for today’s progress I’m working away on the magazine bins. Yesterday I picked up a Porta Spot Spotwelder a few hours away from me. I found it for sale on Facebook marketplace. It’s been a bit of a learning curve with a few blow through holes that I will have to fix. However I believe I’ve finally figured it out and seem to be making decent spot welds.
