The spoon looks like our standard cooking implements in our mess halls...unchanged with time. The pin, wonder if it's a retirement pin? We have one very similar given to sailors of certain ranks on...

I only ended up with it because it presented itself and only owned it for a few years. My 1928 though, I had that one for 22 years and shot it whenever I could. It was the last to go.

Yes, that I was aware of. Liberace's AK...

I had one some years back now, a Guide lamp gun. It had lived for years wrapped in a grease covered rag, buried in the floor of a greenhouse in a box. I had some work to refurbish it. It shot...

I dunno though...these are all basic dewats aren't they? Needing parts and refurb? Those clowns can buy new guns straight from source through straw purchase or direct order. Would they bother with...

That's the part folks have to grasp, and like when we had to do conversions of FA here to SA there were equal problems, depending on the firearm.

Initial mod was a simple sling loop wire welded across the button to keep things away from it.

Correct theory. During ACP (aid to the civil power) training the shield was held up in front and the troops went under at the knees and shins.



By far the best, with the thong that goes over...

Sad, too bad. They'll go out at theft prices and be used in crimes, only to be destroyed by police after recapture. If they can't be reactivated they'll be ditched.

If it were marked DP then it was judged unworthy. There are dozens of threads here showing reason. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. DP is DP.

Or the whole field can be wired together so when you try to pull the first one out they all go together. Plus booby traps behind you...they can run miles in diameter.

That is correct, mag catch guard for M3 SMG

I've shot my share, specially liked the 7.62 version. Aussies still carried them when I went to Enoggera/Canungra in '77.

What would we make of that M1917 helmet? A sailor I suppose...no gear either.

We never treated that as a three man job.

Well Peter, when we start discussing one here, we look for you to come and give input. That's a fact.

Even the belt looks odd, no holes so it's not a US M1936. No pouches either. Jap belt?

Little bit of everything there, including a flamethrower tossed casually aside.

I say very little about this. I feel for you though. We're right on the edge of the very same thing. Already have had lots taken from us.

Yes, with three posts inside a circle. Here's a thread we had years ago showing pics that survived... Also I'll carry the pic here...

You still see that here with some guys still asking $400/$450CDN per thousand primers...

I have about three of the new ones but you don't see the old ones at all. They would have gone out as soon as the slotted flash hider replaced the prong flash hider, the eyes at top would have then...

Are you thinking Fess Parker?



I thought we saw this before and determined it was Raiders? The painted helmets...? Too, I've seen army reserve painted like that early in the war.

Of course, it started as a 1903...

Like hotcakes...
