ok will add him
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'll come along for this jolly mate, If you have a place left. What guns do you want to play with?
Anything US you have, mate. I'll be bringing all mine along so we can get a wee range set up - and instruction!
Well range yes, I couldnt instruct on them though mate.
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.
warren does mate have a word with him
Yeah but Isnt he working on a conversion kit? I'll have a work anyway. Thanks rhys
not for a BAR as far as im aware. he gave webby a bunch of dimensions when webby was building his(at least i think he did, could be to much turkey muddling my brain)
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
haha Syd's army!
Well almost, all I need is a Grease gun and a bazooca. Oh and a few more Garands. So how many more should I get?
depends how big a army you want
all in all though this is looking to be a great training day
it should be a yes from me if thats ok , slight problem being i would need a lift from coventry area , i will pay for half petrol if anyone is willing to help?
chris
I'll pop you up as a yes pending lift mate and start a car thread too i think
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 I could get my damn wrist strong enough I'd get one again
howdo is this just a doughboys event, or would i be able to make one?
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.
open to anyone with american tendancies not just doughboys
