Does make me laugh that you want an actual gas mask for authenticity... ...but for the actual outfit you consider a fancy dress costume to be a reasonable option Btw, I decided to ask on the WW2 forums about the validity of a sawn off shotgun. The answer is pretty much: So I think I will get one anyway but might not take it to WW2 events

You're using those guns for skirmishing?! Also, it's a UKARA defence not a licence.

We doing eastbloc stuff again? sergei,bring the onesie

Be careful of the old filters. They can contain Asbestos if they are WW2 vintage. the definitive Gas Mask Website http://gasmasksukreferences.webs.com/britain.htm

Yeah SFrankish, that's the geezer. I like little touches for authenticity, thats why. I've got no skirmish-y need for the whole decon kit that ought to be carried with an S10 and MK4 NBC suit, the various bits just make good toys

I know. Bellenditis has struck me down... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WW2-ISSUE-BRITISH-ARMY-GAS-MASK-BAG-mk1-1943-1944-/121275890412 for the love of all that's perforated, please let this work!

Since October I've bought so much its hard to know where to start!! However my 3 latest purchases have been an ASG Sten MkII, a box of 5 KA MP40 mags and a WW2 vintage Sten Gun sling. The lot for about £160! Love the Sten. Won't be my primary, that's my G36's but it's a lovely, well made piece of kit all the same. Best of all the mags fit without any fettling required for them to fit and fire... I can go into action with the better part of 600 rounds of ammo if I choose to use it.

Elcan??? On an AK??? Who are you and what have you done with Ian...

not that I'll be in a hurry to get another ar... but could anyone identify this gun/handguard? damn! sure the handle looks great, but the camo is what really shines on this one, looks amazing! ain't bad pictures either!

Check it out. The build so far. My mummy let me take the pictures in her bedroom. I am rather pleased with the custom charging handle.

Errrrrrrr-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer-urgh! (that's a klaxon) Alert! No such thing! Alert! Read the UK Law forum! Alert! Don't even attempt to justify getting it wrong with "it doesn't matter", because it really really does! Alert!

custom built L119a1 AA R85 might dig out the rest of my armoury and get some up to date shots
