M21 Double Size Trainer

Larry had this on display. The barrels are attached to the receiver by a small weld. Many of these have the barrel either taken off for compact storage, or broken off over time. This one is intact.
When the barrels come off the barrel band is often lost.

It seems the muzzle insert is another item that goes missing. It can be seen here.

I have never seen the transit chest except as pictured in the technical manuals. I believe there was a TM with this, but was not photographed.
Larry had obtained the measurements and built the one shown.

Another item rarely present are the plastic bullets.

Here is the trainer broken down.

I have seen many that have been polished or painted. Improperly cleaning also takes a toll on the  on the device. This one still retains the inked acceptance mark, which is often scrubbed or worn off.
