In our local pubs it's a custom for tourists to leave a badge or patch from their hometown to be stuck on the wall, as a memento or whatever. Usually it's police / fire services, and my local has quite a collection on the wall already (actually, a 7 foot by 6 foot wall space covered in them).
So I go into my local today for dinner, and guess what just happens to be staring at me from the patch wall, that I've never even noticed before?
So now it resides proudly on the sleeve of my M65
My lucky day I guess... 0 -

haha., yep, im toasted., its over 30 degrees here every day.,
Im getting brought to some sort of surplus store tomorrow to see what i can get my hands on. The museum is very good, every different gun used in the war is there from the M16's, XM177's, M60's to BAR's, FN Fals, pump action CAW launchers and the lot.,:)
My internet connection is a bit slow at the moment so i cant upload pics right now.

Man, you simply have to visit Vietnam....
I spent ages in this huge indoor market place earlier where the majority of the stalls all sell military gear. theres anything you can imagine in there and the prices are fantastic. Although if you look any nationality other than Vietnamese they'll tell you its 4 times the real price. I didnt get any pics of the place but its a military enthusiasts wet dream! I did a little video of the inside of the place for ya though though.,
I got the original OD uniform, original helmet (with pen drawings and everything on it), webbing yoke, belt etc and some reproduction VN boots, and tiger stripe BDU, a couple of 50cal rounds. all for what sounded like a fortune in VND but converted to Euro, it cost fcuk all.,
There was tons of stuff like the old leather 1911 holsters and all, i forgot to grab one of them and some more ammo pouches but i might get a chance to head back down there.,0 -

Your a ****ing prik tease you know that.
Excluding the gun, my accumulation of kit has cost me 200 euro.
If you can grab me a helmet ill fix you up, original XL OD uniform would rock too can even ship it back to me ill paypal you like a hurricane.
Actually, if theres some nice ****, you can send it back here through post, ill pay you through paypal.
Now stop teasing me you dirt bag
miss you loads xxx0 -
haha., i'll see if i can pick ya up a lid, id imagine it'll cost a few quid to post it home though, and all my space is used up, the missus allocated the space, 90% her, 10% me so i've no room to take anything bulky and we havent even done the HK shopping yet. I'm staying within spitting distance of WGC, UNcompany and Dentrinity so they'll defeninately be getting a visit to get my parts for a new M16 shortie project.
so thats my tropic thunder loadout sorted, all i need is a huey now....0 -

Why must you rob my loadout idea...and made it like 100 times better, sigh
New BO Hawks loadout maybe :P

HAHA., sorry pal, theres another one i beat ya to., i bought a pack of malborough's earlier, and their the ones with te vietnamese writing and all.,
their gonna take pride of place in the band of my lid.,:)
you dirty smuggler.
Wel ive been actually smoking marlboro red the last week to REALLY get into the thing, start smoking or gtfo :P0 -
Did ya get a webbing yoke yet doc? i got one for ya from one of the people in the military market as a sweetener.
Just reading back now i see you are planning on using them belts we have in the shop. that'd look sh*t in my opinion. theres a big plastic snap buckle on the front of it instead of the hook and loop type like the real one and its just too modern. I could have got ya that belt and all, there really cheap.,
i got a bargain on a real deal ballistics vest earlier too, and also a winter field coat and shirt, mitchell helmet cover. a load of small arms pouches, butt back, entrenching tool, back pack etc etc. the only thing i cant find is the original ammo pouch that took 3 mags. i can get the one with the plastic fastener but id rather the older one. Id love a good m16 bayonet but the ones there were all in poor condition.,
gandalf, there was an original grenadiers vest there going cheap, I was gonna grab it for ya and would have went great with the whole CAW thing you have going. it was a pretty snug fit though and they didnt have any other sizes.,
i might do up a VC loadout too, their stuff is even cheaper to get and theres no shortage of the stuff., 0 -
