Now someone just needs to make a Mauser Gewehr 1898 then I'll don a trench coat & fedora before relieving everyone of their Lee enfields... (Wind that shakes the barley)

Welcome aboard mate, I'm in SE London. TWA's my old regular but I'm out of the game at the moment due to lack of a gun and a car - soon to be remedied however!

I'm lucky in that the PRR is also correct for my early USMC kit. For PRR bodies : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-CLEAN-grade-C-Prc-343-bowman-H4855-Prr-100-WORKING-body-/221574707983?pt=UK_ConsumerElectronics_SpecialistRadioEquipment_SM&hash=item3396e1bb0f The seller has a lot of PRR related stuff for sale, I'm sure if you contacted him he'd be able to source empty bodies if you wanted to go into converting them.

In essence, yeah. I'd like a connector for real Bowman's as you said. Thats the only reason I've not bought a surplus one. I personally (if its do-able) would love a PRR with pmr guts so that I could keep my kit accurate but not need everyone else I want to speak to using a PRR also.

I'd have no problem lugging about an antenna or back packing a radio, IF it was useful. I mean, I've always liked the idea and I'm all for immersion, but I think the problem lies in we are limited by range, would these extend range at all? If they did I'd be all for it! RE your questions : Are you guys even BOTHERED about realistic looking military radios? Your average player, maybe not. Milsimmers and gear wh*res like my self, I'd love one, I just dont have the money to buy an expensive replica (I hear most are rubbish anyway) Would you prefer EXACT replica's or just something more rugged than most 446's? I'd allow slight differences if it appeared the same on initial inspection/sitting in a pouch. Similar controls and functions would be nice. How big are most of the game sites? This really REALLY varies, you can have ridiculously smalll sites with 30 players, upto sites with 100+ per side. I've no idea on their size but I know a few MOD training areas are rented for weekends to put it in terms you might be familiar with. Do you have an actual problem with radios that needs fixing? Cant speak on this, I'm yet to take the comms plunge but I'm in the process of doing my pre-purchasing research. I'm not really content with the civilian looking pmr's. My inner gear wh*re wants something legitimate to match the rest of my kit.

Cheapest motorla pmr446 which takes a headset? Sister bought me some T41's on holiday not knowing they don't take headsets...

Must say its beautiful mate! What's the knife?

I won't drink the tap water where I live in South East London, it's vile. In Glasgow however it's pretty clean and nice tasting so I've no quarrel drinking it there. The difference in water becomes apparent in that when I return to London, my hair doesn't feel "wet" in the shower. Its incredibly hard to explain but I think it must be something to do with hard/soft water and all that rubbish?

Sounds my cup of tea, I'll look out for them! Cheers James, and you Cav for the bergen info!

Are there any Milsim events where you do have to carry everything into the field with you Jcheese? I.E. Wear your bergen and have to carry all your stuff pretty much everywhere? Must sound mental but the amount I paid for my FILBE and the amount I'm going to pay for a air support pack, I'd like to "use" them as it were lol!

I've a set of mess tins and a hexi cooker but looking to save a bit of space in my webbing so I can carry more water, will likely get a crusader set. Just need to know if they're any good first

Without hijacking and whilst we're on the subject,anyone know what the current issue cook system is? Crusader? Confused about the osprey bottle/ '58 pattern bottle thing are these the same? I know private purchase jet boils are probably the order of the day but I'm on a budget.

As Jcheese said you can only communicate with other PRR's with them. They're Ally as f*ck though and at they price they can be had now I'll be picking one up for my kit. I'll also be running Motorola for PMR446 frequencies. I think the added bonus you can securely communicate with anyone using a PRR is another reason to carry one. I'm not the most knowledgable on radios by a long shot I'm just getting into them, but surely for a Milsim team PRR's make sense for close range secure communication. Usually a long range radio is issued for communication with command elements.

An airsoft one, yes.

Can't remember if it was 30m or 50m but if you can hit a large dinner plate you should be okay

Looking for a cheap set of Crye Multicam "replicas" for my UKSF kit. Are Emerson any good?

Damn you Tac! Just as I had persuaded myself to leave USMC kit and go British, you flaunt that sexy thing in my face!

Just copy and paste the link from Youtube, James.

Looking foward to seeing it done mate.
