You won't get any sort of WW2 bolt action rifle for under £200. You'll need to convert a VSR or similar. Slicks conversion is nice. All you really n...

It did snow during the Pacific game, perhaps we were fighting over the Aleutians A nice dusting of snow over the site the roads cleared the day bef...

Yes, I was thinking this is 'full Waffen SS rig' Tony isn't it? It is probably worth clarifying, although no SS runes and swastikas sounds pretty clea...

Russian kit can really be very minimal. Belt and gas mask bag is plenty. I certainly don't bother with a pistol. The plash palatka is a good bit of ...
