Saving private ryan on dvd. Must have been the only one in the world not to have a copy.

I love that movie - and i don't care if it's full of errors.

You know the guy that Hanks is pulling out of the sea and then he realizes he's dead and lets him go? He's a friend of mine...(I mix with C-list celebrities you know )

must be the monocle ?

Finally got that pre-1945 50mm Elmar lens that was/wasn't supposed to come with my 1941-dated Leica IIIc camera...took'm 2 and a half month to figure that one out.

5 clone Thompson mags today only thing they hold 300 but less to carry, so I bought to many

a new m1 liner from SOF , the danish one, its painted blue but is the correct liner for m1 helmets, not the crappy 1960s ones the send out with the m1 shells, this one has the studs for the leather strap and fits great, i recommend them for 15 quid.( now,,, wheres that olive green spray paint)

oh, forgot to add , my CIA membership card came today too, its lovely lol lol lol

Do the liners come with the nape strap,sweatband and leather chinstraps?

not the leather chinstrap, but they have the studs for it, apparently they are US made for the swedes just after the war , only difference is the webbing insde is light blue and the outer shell is blue, but they are really good.

Thing is if it's a proper M1C liner, they've got press studs inside as well...and the A Frames are attached to them. Atleast I think they are without going and looking at my kit.

the A frames are only attached to airborne liners,as are the studs for the webbing chin strap , these are just GS liners, i rivetted the A frames in today at lunch.put the chinstrap press studs in last night. 20 min job. much better than the shite 60s para liner my m1 shell came with.

You could probably sell that "shite"60s para liner on Ebay for around £15 if its a Nam and not 80s one

Danish M1 liners are good-very good in fact but you cannot beat a Belgian one as they are 100% spot on

its an 80s mate,,,,,, not nam era, but i have an m1 shell coming from biguk , i will put it in that and use it for general us load outs.

General Service Beret/Flop-Cap from SoF. Hope it's worth it!

Arrived today. It's very high quality, but the "62cm" headband is more like a 60cm.

hot water mate and stretch it over your knee, pulling and turning. that should do the trick.

Cheers!

Pop rivet tool, to repair a broken one in the top cover of my BC-1000 radio.

....a modern Voightlander VC II light meter ...to use with my vintage cameras

A British Large Pack from a local surplus dealer. I needed a large bit of canvas for my Crown & Anchor betting-board. So I cut it up with a knife and some scissors . Don't worry it was way beyond repair to start with.

Oh, and two vials of concentrated gun lubricant.

flibble, are you near tilburg? we are visiting a friend there in a few weeks.

Yeah, Tilburg is like 15 minutes by car from where I live.
I received a speeding ticket from that very city today,

The Large Pack will live on as my Crown & Anchor game board
