Went a bit mad today and spent too much.
Got some bits ordered to bring my US kit upto scratch.
2x '42 dated shelter halves by the same maker
M43 jacket and rigger modded trousers, airborne style
US camo HBT trousers for the 2nd Armoured look
Service shoes and buckle boots
De-act M1 Garand, new spec.

Where did you get the jacket and rigger trousers ?

If you want to sling your gun safely you'll need a barrel strengthener. Only

No. The Marui Thompson has a weak point where the barrel meets the receiver. If you use a sling they tend to break as it puts pressure on the joint from the wrong angle.

I sell fixes for said problem meaning you can sling the gun without risk of breaking it....however you have to break the barrel to fit the fix! ;)

Most people just use the gun until it breaks (because most do), then get the fix.

Unfortunately I don't have a sling to offer you.

Cheers

It's not urgent. I have a thing about holding onto weapons with at least 1 hand at all times when moving about. I just wanted a sling in case I'm an idiot and drop it, but it sounds like this sling catching it might do more damage than simply dropping it from my shortass height :P

Just ordered a pair of blurred edge camo trousers from Spearhead, here's hoping they turn up in time for CR!

Where did you get the jacket and rigger trousers ?

At The Front in the USA, most of the clothing/boots listed I ordered from there.
There is a set on E-bay I saw, Big size though. Search for M43 and it should show up.

Has anyone got a spare Thompson sling I can borrow for CR?

BTW, you want an Enfield sling if you're doing British not the US one. :)

I have a US sling that I don't use if you want... I bought it in error when I first started.

Hey Yith,

If Morg doesn't want the U.S Thompson sling can I have it off you? How much were you looking for?
