applied for a job with the British antarctic survey, i hate to think about being half a world away from my wife and kids for 18 months, but thats how desperate i am for work . ( and the money is crap, but there are no shops on that continent so nothing to spend the 24 grand a year on)

Essential viewing for anyone considering a journey like that:

Herzog is a fucking genius IMHO.

:good: I'll bet I'm not in it. I sure I wasn't in the medic shots. A lone 1st infantry GI would have looked out of place.

if your trying to get it to take an m14 big, good luck, there were 3 of us with a total of 65 years of carpentry and joinery knowledge in a fully stocked workshop and we couldnt do it and make it viable. it will fit, but it will be as fragile as egg shells.

Someone posted up a pic of a snapped stock on this forum the other day - that was a hollowed out original I think...

Christ almighty, that Garand stock is the Airsoft equivalent of the Office Bike. Been had by all.

Less likely to catch something off of it, admittedly.
