Does anybody know where I can lay my hands on a 1/4 inch netting for my M1?
Can't seem to fine one for love nor money. :cry:

Sabre Sales or Soldier of Fortune.

I believe they're actually the British ones that were issued to the yanks.

I can pick a few up from Sabre at the weekend if you like

Hmmm... now this is interesting...

The one I have from SoF is actually 1/2" netting...

The ones from Sabre are 3/8" netting

The one I got from Beltring in 2006 is 3/8" but made with thicker string...

Which is the right type?

Monstrosity removed :whistle:

This is a pick of an original that looks about right for the small

Though not having seen stuff I'm rubbish at estimating

Yeh the SoF nets are the wrong one's for what we're after.

Is this a 3/8 net?

I would imagine what was available at the time. Most films is shows green, but in likelyhood, they would have kept the Tan 1 over from when the Infantry were in North Africa, Sicily and Italy.
