just got a price per kilo for brass, very pleased to know its got a scrap value of 27 quid lol, not bad for free.
Just got back from Spanhoe...pretty good event, loads of kit I wanted to buy but not enough money, thankfully! Complete sets of KD shorts and shirts, £25!!!! But not enough cash!!
Webbing was pretty steep, but did mange to pick up a 1938 dated bren gun pouch!! It's made by M.W&s Ltd. the date is certianly 193? but between a 5 and an 8 i'd put money on it being an 8 seeing as its 37 pattern!!!!
Anywho! It's unblancoed but has been issued. There are no cartridge holders in the top of the 'lid' AND the rear attachements for the belt are the same height as my Mark 2s but it looks like it has been moved down.
Anyone got any ideas?? I can stick a photo up if required. It looks like it is an altered Mark I pouch.
Never seen a Mark I so nearly weed myself when I saw it!

Jas
hehe... yeah put pics up... (then alter it back to being a proper mark 1 and sell it to me... )

El cheapo CYMA Thompson turned up today - bargain at £115 delivered from Airsoft Warehouse.
It's the first time I've looked at one closely - this one hasn't got those horrible white screen printed trades (good) and has a 328fps sticker on the box (not yet chrono'd so can't verify) has the usual charger that I don't trust (cut off the tamiya plug and lead for the spares box, charger in the bin) and 1200Ah NiCd battery (next to useless for me but meh, I'll charge it anyway) and a speed loader (good - can never have too many speedloaders) and a tacky plastic but heavy low-cap (that will need some filing to fit to the gun smoothly) and an unauthentic sling (that will be replaced with and Enfield sling) and a small bag of BB's just sufficient to riddle the polystyrene packing box (has to be done in the name of 'testing'). My NiMH 3300 and 3700 batteries fit the stock but the 4300 doesn't - the gun has the small connector so will have to change that to a big-un.
The faux wood finish is pretty good, nice with a lot of metalwork (which has a dead flat black finish that I don't much care for). Fire/safe & single/auto selectors are firm with good detents. Good slow and heavy thunking action on full auto! Iffy pretty box lid that has something like the Thompson 'signature' logo and claims 'Official Product' 
.
Can wait to slap all the AZR kit on it!
i love mine dave, it has a TM hop on it( fitted by the previous owner , not sure what aeg its from , he did say but i wasnt listening) and it is great.
