Today, by endless trawling on Ebay, I managed to source another 8 shotgun magazines for my M1 Garand. They really are like rocking horse s**t at the moment.
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
Loaded the van, too much gear as always. I console my self that it's not all for me.
The last job was to clean and dubbin my boots.

Ordered a ridiculous amount of Polish movies on WWII... This is why most people write on things that the library has. 
Bought a second hand DE M50 bolt action to use as a pattern. Along with the elusive 1" diameter router bit which I had to order specially from the US, I might finally get around to making some cheap lookalikey Lee Enfield front ends. 
Bought a coffee and stayed up til the early hours of hte morning doing a mix of stitching stuff and stabbing my finger with a needle...

"Yes you did, you invaded Poland..."
Made myself another set of K ration boxes and tried a new template for an M1 Carbine ammo box.
It's big enough to fit 2 magazines in, real and airsoft!

Should I have a pin cushion and start making 'Bless this Mess' fabrics too? 
BTW, that ammo box looks pretty sweet!
