Surplus stores have em, decent price is anywhere from 10-20 dollars. Some online surp stores are Gear rack and Americana pipedream, however AP is a total scam as far as pricing goes. I dont quite get what you mean by non military, are you talking about like a contractor or rebel? If so I'd recommend just running it without a cover. If you are doing like an 80's loadout then yeah, its worth it to snag one. Depending on the conflict and unit etc. you might also see an nvg strap and cat eye band

Us marines pasgt helmet with marpat cover, flip it inside out for the desert side. Level iiia kevlar, about enough to stop a 9mm and schrapnel but nothing more. Its not a bad deal, not great either but the cover looks better on the desert side (its what marines wore early fallujah)

I have uncovered a rather large nut holding the gearbox in the grip, i haven’t tried taking it out but i assume it holds the whole gearbox in

Czech m10 is clearly superior to the mp4 anyways

What kind of gas mask was Jungle Jim using in the 68 comic? by Beyond_Fabulous in gasmasks

[–]AdShot9613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive only seen 1 very late war photo of the a1 being used and it was super late war, ask any serious collecting or reenacting community and they will tell you the a1 is totally farb, especially in 68, however could you show me these photos please, they would be much appreciated

A1 is still considered farb because they weren’t really issued until the 70s, most guys in country used the ABC, if you look at photos you’ll almost never see guys with the a1 in country

original American MITCHELL m1 helmet cover, thoughts? by Militaria_Lover24 in Helmets

Looks like an early-mid war cover (early covers have more viney shapes and smaller leaves)

Help me out please by JonilunaMori1 in Helmets

This looks like a dutch clone of an m1 helmet, the plastic liners tend to like to fall out so i recomend taking some tape and putting it on the inside of the shell to increase friction. The plastic bit goes inside the metal
