will also add phoenix price list to the top post

Its also been said we wont be able to get on site until after the open day finishs. So rather than set up tents in the dark we're confirming we can sleep in the building. It has toilets, vending machines, etc

I dont think instructions to necessary. A few of us can stand behind people and observe if they pull the shot etc but being as most of us are experienced airsofters we're ok on the shooting side already. will put an addendum on the top post about this

OK then, I'll bring everything, by then it will be;
M1 Garand GBB in 8mm (Possably two)
M1 Garand AEG in 6mm(AGM with original wood and new metalwork.)
M1 Carbine in 8mm X2
M1 Carbine in 6mm
M1 Thompson TM
Trench Gun Marui M3 Shotty Conversion(New stock and pump but no bayonet lug)
Colt .45 GBB

On a related note does anyone have a BAR De-act or replica I can take some piks and measurements from? I want to convert another AGM M14 to an LMG.

I'v asked him anyway. It would be good if he is though. What with My 2 Carbine's, Your old Springfirld, 2 Thompson's and 2 Garand's, I think that the BAR is all I need to outfit a rifle squad :shock:

BARs were quite rare during the war, I doubt if every rifle squad had 1, maybe a couple per company... towards the end of the war maybe a few more.

More Garands would look great, all on single shot!

If you're a yank, of course you can. If you're of the felgrau persuasion, speak to stubblehopper, I think he's organising the boches.
