A new excellent quality leather chinstrap for my M1C to replace the piece of rubbish I got from SOF and also a new webbing chinstrap for my newly modified Dutch M1. All from J.Murray in the states for £20 posted, only ordered it on Thursday! Recommended supplier!

I havent had much of a chance to play with it yet, but I chronoed it at just over 350fps, so should be ok after I shoot a few bbs through it. The battery compartment is quite tight, not sure if you could get a 9.6v battery in there, but the rate of fire seems more than adequate at 8.4v. It feels pretty solid, seems reasonably accurate, and the barrel is very easy to remove. Pretty pleased with it all in all. Just waiting on a few items of Russian uniform now.

Getting a M35 Gymnastiorka from the guy on ebay koliya1985, and a cheap pair of too small Sharovari breeches, which I'm going to have to let out somewhat (if that fails I'll have to order the expensive ones)

Yes got the PPsh from airsoft world, came with a sling as well.

Several 1940's original copies of "the Crossbelts", the regimental journal of the 8th (Kings Royal Irish) Hussars. Plus, an Ortlieb bergen liner and a jungle issue sleeping bag.




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

I've been looking at those as well... Note he's just extended his range to include M43 gym, pilotka and gas mask bag.

and a cheap pair of too small Sharovari breeches, which I'm going to have to let out somewhat (if that fails I'll have to order the expensive ones)

From Russian Storeman? I got the last pair in size 34" waist from there... they're a bit tight on me to be honest and I might also have to get the expensive ones.

Where do you get your alu stock from? All the places I used to go are trade only now.

Ordered all the parts for my mosfet. I've also got some good designs for a semi auto converter that should cost no more than £3 with a mosfet attached!
If all goes well I'll turn out a few extra and put them up for cost here.

If they work out to be sturdy enough you could probably do a tidy bit of business with NZ buyers, we are only allowed semi auto imports, which obviously complicates things with the AGM Stens etc

Mostly Ebay.
Also Noggin End Metals, but it's been a while since I bought from them.

Just dropped off by the neighbour (even though I've been in all day!), a new belt knife, some compeed plasters and a pair of ammo boots.
