    I have a friend who's an author, writing a book about a sniper, and needs to borrow a couple of .50 rounds for his book pictures.

    He'd like a total of five inert rounds, two complete, and three with separate brass and projectile. I'm guessing the total time would be maybe a month - given shipping to/from/between if it's local to So MD, Kensington, or Annapolis, I could pick it up on certain days or gun day if Annapolis) and return it when I get it back.

    The guy writing the book is a Marine (from a long time ago) and a guy that I trust to take care of borrowed stuff. He's not a shooter (unless forced, then he returns to Marine), which is why he asked for my help in lining stuff up.

    If you can help, pm me, and we can work out logistics...

    Cheers,
    Rob

    If a .585 Nyati will do the trick, I can be of assistance. :D

    I have 2 50 cal cases only if that helps. Let me know.

    Thanks Spank, I'm going to try to get everything from one source so I don't wind up messing up the returns when my friend is done.

    If I wind up needing to take you up on this, I'll pm you separately.

    Cheers,
    Rob
