Does that 20mil fire anything? Bung an AEG at the other end and a super long piece of copper pipe for the barrel...what am I saying that thing would be firing at me!

Very nice Dave, I'm certainly jealous. Whats the plan for the main gun as its not included is it?
Do you plan to use it for airsoft or just reenacting? Gas/Blankfiring 20mm and coaxial AEG would be my choice. :good:

My latest; German tropical low boots and tropical waterbottle (with cup & straps). :D

Removing it is the easy part-getting it back is the bugger :cry: :cry: :cry:

I honestly couldnt tell you.

A few years ago i bought a couple of original shells and repro liners-never again.

Also made the mistake of stripping a liner out of a repro M35-again never again.

Trouble i had personaly is you need about 3 pairs of hands(did it myself)as you need to stretch the springs/leaves of the liners while also spreading the "wings" of the liner rivet and removing the washer(if you have correct type rivets).Thats the easier bit-taking the liner out.Re fitting it no matter how much i tried i could never get the washers and liner rivets fitting tight enough so they always were proud/loose on the shell which peed me off :evil: :evil: :evil:

There may be an easier way but i certainly wont be doing it again thats for sure.

Ive had mixed results with laquer/varnish over decals-worked ok on some but others bubbled.

Sorry i couldnt be any help and for putting a downer on things :oops:

Finally found a decent pair of size 7 ammo boots ( from Sabre )and a few bits of webbing I didn't really need but couldn't resist - that's a bad place to go if you want to stick to a budget !

Woohoo finally got something new to add to here. Its been a while what with xmas and new year killing my funds. But im now the owner of some US Airborne gloves (shudda bought them ages ago), and a GP Ammo Bag and strap. Its been 8 months of buying US airborne, and the list is still growing longer.

What sort of clips does your strap for your GP Ammo bag have on it? You would use one of these instead of a Musette pack you know, they were issued to radiomen so that they could carry equipment in them and carry their radio.
On another note, the list of kit is well and truly never ending...I've been going through the list of stuff I need for an M1 Carbine and including rigger pouches and other stuff it's come to a sizable lump of cash!

Got them from SOF. They've reduced the price of them to £20.

What sort of clips does your strap for your GP Ammo bag have on it? You would use one of these instead of a Musette pack you know, they were issued to radiomen so that they could carry equipment in them and carry their radio.

Its got the same clips on it as the musette bag. I've got pics of guys, wearing them and carrying grenades and extra ammo in them, in my new Mark Bando book. Im going to use it to carry my copious amount of gas and BB's, i'll be needing to keep my GBB Carbine going. Thats why i sold you my Thompson mag bag.

I dont have to wear my musette bag all the time, its another thing i can use if i wanna go light.

Just arrived, 2 boxes! One contained a magazine for the Tanaka, a box of MP40 midcaps, assorted upgrade parts and some gas and the other box contained various bits of tubing and box section for another project. Now, if only my garage wasn't like a deepfreeze!




When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
