I think you'll need to make one up I'm afraid if you want a good detailed 50 cal buy the academy set each 50 cal has 7 parts by far the best detailed plastic one out there

Ok if I am reading this right ( I tend to read too much into things ) You are reffering to the rods that run down the sides of the .50 cal. barrel ? That is the blank adapter used for manuver training . Trumpter includes the front and back brackets in their M1 kits . Hope this helps .

Yes, as the others have stated, they are called BFAs for blank firing adapters. They can be mounted to any of the various M2HBMG in either a flexible or fixed mount.Thanks alot for the info turrettoad13....I have 2 of those kits incoming..I will pilfer them for my dio project...Had no idea what theu were...to me they just look cool..so they're blank adapters huh?
