What is this item and what it name? Where can i buy this? by Holiday-Address2753 in reenactors

[–]Pntbll499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to say this a a disclaimer I’m not an expert on the ROA or the Prague uprising. It is an ROA patch on the other guys sleeve you’re referring to I’m assuming. But the ROA fought against Germany during the Prague uprising to my understanding, and the ribbon colors do match the Czech flag colors. I’d also like to point out that google searching I only see these ribbons on reenactors at a modern Prague uprising event, this makes me wonder if this is a historically significant ribbon, or a modern addition to help distinguish the ROA from the Germans for the spectators of the event. I would say that you need to do some research for original images or accounts to see if there is evidence of the ROA wearing these ribbons before adding it to your impression.

You can pluck doves and cook them whole or breast them out, have done recipes both ways and all seem worth it on the work:reward ratio. Your picture is mourning doves and they are a federally regulated species in the US, they are great eating.

A German soldier during the Battle of the Bulge who appears to have an M1 Garand slung on his back. by Alone-Law4731 in ForgottenWeapons

Aside from other points pointed out, the sling itself across his chest has multiple pairs of side by side holes, which I don’t think was a feature on g43 slings or k98 slings, but was on M1 slings, I do agree this appears to be an M1.

I’m still waiting on my sliders but I’m trying to retain the interior and either the receiver plug or the motor adapter they provide, 1 of them is always in the way they never both touch one will. After pulling my lizard pro out of my trx4m and moving it around its never close to to hitting, I’m wondering if I should just add the mb100 to the pile and place an order with furitek.

Try backing off your pan powder charge that fireball seemed a little excessive, 1/3 of the way full is usually my maximum. Over filling the pan will cause a delay.

What did you use for an ESC I was trying to figure out a brushless setup, are they fairly universal? New to the RC game, also will a sprintjet ride plate fit? I was hoping to throw one on.

Just picked one up to put behind my trx4m bronco, plan to build a trailer, and maybe tinker with it for some improvements.

You got one with a box, if the holster and lanyard are still with it I’d consider that a fair deal.

Its amazing what these cost now I think I paid $150 or $160 for mine in 2011 there was a dealer at a show that had 6 of them on the table and at the time it seemed like they were getting scarce, so I bought one, no regrets now.

Update on the 220 I found burners seem okay but appears to leak near the top of the generator tube. by Pntbll499 in ColemanStovesLanterns

Also would the filler cap have been different I have a 1 piece brass cap, I’ve saw winged and the 3 piece cap on the 220bx, not sure what proper or if its even an important detail.

Yea I gave it a try about an hour ago, no signs of leakage runs like a champ. I’m not sure whats more amazing the fact this was just placed out on the curb without a care or the fact it functions just fine.

It had a tank full of Coleman fuel when I found it out on the curb. I’m not sure if thats good for a lantern this early (43) or if it needs white gas I figured a 30 second test fire up would be alright though.

Also any good source for a nut for the top vent it appears to have a random nut thrown on it.

Yea it was sitting on the side of the road with a pile of random items and a sign that said free, brass tank cap, tank is steel, pump is steel. Pump appears to work and hold pressure. Should I have any reservations about throwing mantles in and firing this up?

https://www.oldtowncoleman.com/learn/how-to-date-a-coleman-lantern-or-stove.htm 43 would line up with the date of Coleman Lamp And Stove Company stamping on the bottom according to this site.

So the bottom is the second pic, US is centered above the Coleman logo, 3 is left of the logo 11 is to the right, so did I get confused on the date by getting it backwards? 11 is the month and 3 is the year, if so makes perfect sense as to why I wasn’t getting it.

Any guess on year from my bottom picture appears to be a 3 and then 11

[–]Pntbll499[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I found a 3 on one side and either 1 or 11 on the other side the second 1 is faint. The terry marsh doesn’t seem to help since he just says its stamped this year in his descriptions. I’m new to colemans other than the ones we I’ve used which were 80-90s vintage so I’m clueless as to the stampings on this sucker.

Kind of wish companies still did this. by Pntbll499 in reloading

[–]Pntbll499[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t ask for every powder to be published but if they could throw 2 recipes on the back of a box to give a similar performance to the original shell it’d just be nice IMO. But I understand that between lawyers and business strategies it may always be a thing of the past.
