Nice grouping I think you one upped me on the accessories at least. Is that an SOG beret? What model Woodsman's pal is that? Unusual handle.

I have a substantial Vietnam War Advisor/Leg/Airborne/SOG/MAAG/Viet Minh/LLDB/CIDG/Cong/NVA/Khmer Serei collection from my 5th SF reenactment days. You have a good eye to pick out the odd shaped handle on the Woodsman's pal, it was damaged at some point in its career and a large piece snapped off. The beret is a repop 5th SF. The PRC 25 still works and I was lucky to get four 257477BA battery adapters from PRC68.com while he was still making them so I can run my PRC 25's on 10 D cells.

the Woodsman's pal,

The early ones were leather...we still had those with wood handles on issue when I had Reconnaissance Pl in the 3rd Bn in '89/'90. I swiped one and had a leather scabbard made as the canvas is pretty feeble. It's long gone to someone that needed it much more.

The early ones were leather.

I have a couple (one pristine). Looks to be a useful tool.

There was a pistol submachine gun in 22 WMR with a 30 rd magazine manufactured in Argentinia called the EDDA

Hi John,

As per my pm mate, I would personally avoid a certain AR dealer in the 'North West', not a great experience there a few years back.

I personally think the AR builder of choice is Rob from Guncraft, for parts and builds, I've only ever heard good things about Rob and his build quality is absolutely first class, I had the pleasure of trying one of his builds chambered in .30 Blackout at my local range and it was lovely...

Hi John,

Thanks, I will check out Guncraft and let you know how I get on.

I would second John's recommendation. I've only used Rob for parts so far, a really helpful guy.
