Today i refitted my webbing. Ditched the garand belt for riggers pouches. I also rearranged my belt contents, for a more authentic look.
....cleaned my kit for PBI training day.
This i chose not to go out on the piss. I instead stayed in and watched Kelly's Heroes for the first time. Its actually a very enjoyable light hearted film. I was expecting your normal Clint Eastwood Gung-ho Film, Donald sutherland steals the show though.

Jay, I think they're excellent, and good value - much better cut on their tunics than the Sturm ones. www.reenactment-box.com

...spent quite a bit at stoneleigh...
... spent very little at Stoneleigh, but more than usual - a couple of Brit type pocketknives for £5 the pair (being degreased now) and an original MP40 sling for £25 (meh, repros are £20)
Managed to not see Yith or the Blaggers but bumped into Helga, which was nice.

...finished the upgrade on the S&S Garand. With the addition of a nice tight bore barrel and new Spring i should be getting a much healthier 330-340fps. Was firing at 260-70fps before.
watch out jerry

Bleached and died my crappy SOF first run webbing it looks alright now, still need to replace it in the future tho.

It'll be wintry with that stuff a lot longer than snow as well... It's a right bugger to hoover up.
Just don't ever try sanding the stuff inside... that's madness!
I got a £1000+ tax rebate PLUS £70 interest - suck on that Mr Brown!
I'm also continuing my pre-M1A1 Thompson refurb - hope to get is done by Sat Training Day...
And today I also lost a lot of time (but time well spent) in forum banter with some top blokes who know the difference between a debate and an argument...

Today, I tried on all of my Brit' kit for the first time. Glad to say it all fits and looks pretty good, the webbing is a revelation for me, being used to German stuff that drops to bits the second you try to put it on! Also did a bit more work on my Sten project.


























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

"dear mr brown, make cheque payable to"




Sent my newly refurb M2 helmet off to be weathered and battle scarred. Also to have its 506th spade painted on.
