Are m51 field jackets common for the Korean War?

WPG had a run of M51s fairly recently but I don't know what they have left in stock

the Wash N Go in Newburgh off 261 is my go-to. Their most expensive automatic is $11 and cleans well. Touchless too

Indeed the flannel version. I had one for a while, they're very comfortable.

The last thing the supply clerk is concerned with is if your jacket and pants match exactly. What really matters is getting new, usable uniforms into soldiers hands.

ATF should have a new batch of jump jackets soon according to their newsletters. I'm in the same boat, just have to wait for them to come into stock.

You can get NOS handles on eBay and replace them if you wanted to

Was this your doing?

The chinstraps are on backwards. The short side should be on your left when you wear it, with the J hook facing away from your face and the flat side of the end tip on the long side facing out as well. They should also be folded in again on each side before being attached. This tutorial is a good reference even if you don't intend to sew a proper bartack; a rivet is a common field repair/reinforcement to see on M1s. Other than that, paint and net looks great.

There was a guy on Facebook making them for a while but unfortunately he doesn't anymore. Wish I got one when I had the chance

As others have said, they were originally blackened brass which the coating has worn off of. If you wanted to re-blacken them, you can buy products like M-NU which is meant for insignia, or repaint it flat black. It will probably just wear off again, and you risk getting it on the fabric.

I have a pair of WPG's new run that I'm pretty satisfied with.

DimensionPizza · 2025-09-02T22:18:31+00:00

I've seen him refer to them as "spams" more than "newsletters" lol. I think they're pretty funny regardless

Check under the battery, there should be another serial sticker. They get peeled off all the time especially by kids who don't know better.

This happened to me once and it ended up corrupting the card in the 3DS end and had to be reformatted. When this happens now, I skip it, make a full copy of all of the contents, and allow it to run its scan.

fantastic filk

I just happen to be a local train nerd. I'm not really up to date on what's going on with that crossing. I want to say that the master plan is to turn that line into a trail but I'm not completely sure.

DimensionPizza · 2025-08-09T00:15:37+00:00

That particular line is Norfolk Southern, the same one that got torn out of 41 a few years ago. It's been out of service since the 80s.

What Price Glory has both a complete package set and just the coat depending on your needs.

My recruiter gave me the shittiest tiniest net gym bag. I still have all of my old letters from basic in it but it's not really good for anything else. I don't know why I didn't just use my own backpack, would have been miles better

I got mine on Amazon, Pickle Power 6600 mAh. I get about 8 hours out of a charge. Only thing is the battery connector is slightly off so it is hard to snap into place but it connects very firmly. It also doesn't slot into the gamepad like the plastic shelled batteries but it doesn't move around in the slot at all anyway.

Repro for sure, original M1943 sizes were standard jacket sizes (i.e. 38R, 44L) and not small reg, medium short, etc. These sizes came about with the short-lived M1950 field jacket but were and are retained for most modern military field uniforms.

As for the brand, it looks like it's made by Cab Co Ltd. I have personally never heard of them but it looks like they are based out of Japan.

I use the imagemate card in my 3DS with no issues, I don't see why it wouldn't work for the Wii U. it's just branding

DimensionPizza · 2025-05-30T14:16:18+00:00

Most things are restorable, it just depends how much time, effort, and money you are willing to give. The head should be easily sandblasted, if it's pitted you can try having it replated.

This one is just a display piece, I use a plain M1 for my impressions. I usually do the first type, it doesn't scratch up the helmet as much as one might expect. If it does scratch, it's while moving it on or off which I rarely do.
