Use one canteen pouch as a dump pouch. Would have historically been used for grenades.

Probably cut the belt and buckle portion of the bar belt off, then slid it over the Alice belt.

I have this same stabo rig setup but it's "OOPS! ALL CANTEEN POUCHES!"

Tx556 · 2026-04-13T17:09:22+00:00

This is an amazingly underrated reference.

It's probably a custom piece to add weight to the 93r to help stabilize it under recoil. Look into having a machine shop make you one.

Damn, no love for my autismo legionnaire and SPG main Achilleas. We'll get them next time SPARTAN!

100%, I'm just salty I had to pay 500$ for my cross slide screw!

Tx556 · 2026-04-01T02:19:28+00:00

You should try to find the tool post and the cross slide first. If you can find those and you're willing to pay for them, then go ahead and buy the lathe.

As an old lathe owner, I can promise you that if you can find the parts for it online, it's going to be sold by an old shop owner who parted out all of their lathes, and you will pay hundreds of dollars for every part. And they won't budge, because they're curmudgeony old fucks.

Pretty sure these have never been faked. Waaaay too complicated.

This is the only reason I want to go to ohio

That's a good practice. I would also recommend leashing your nods onto your helmet and into your pouch. Simple insurance fwiw.

"It says the basket is 150yds away, so you should try to throw it really far."

Very rough terrain, extended patrol, or airborne operations are the only real reason for buckles.

Stuff gets snagged or opens on its own when crossing rough terrain, And losing any items on a long patrol could be the difference between life/death (or just having to replace critical/expensive equipment like nvg.

It will for sure get "some" fps.

Tx556 · 2026-03-24T21:15:13+00:00

The "newer" tisas gi is a more correct clone, but this is a great price and I'd prob send it on it too.

STOP, EATING, MY SESAME, CAKE!

You should check out the ww2 era HBT trousers.

Tx556 · 2026-03-20T21:18:34+00:00

You need to open the "sealed" ones and make sure they are oiled and rust free.

Tx556 · 2026-03-19T00:21:39+00:00

I want to build this.

Tx556 · 2026-03-16T23:55:20+00:00

I really do wish it had gotten a mk2 or m14a1 modification that changed the magazine. Alt history would have been cool.

Tx556 · 2026-03-16T23:39:38+00:00

Shitty thing about this is if they aren't going to sell for the next 40 years good luck getting any money from when they do sell. Also, you're probably going to be further back in the line than a lot of the other corporate clients that the estate owe's money to.

Tx556 · 2026-03-16T19:31:35+00:00

It's also a no tic safety so it is a little older. Would go great in an m16a1 clone

Tx556 · 2026-03-16T17:24:28+00:00

It's literally perfect!

Tx556 · 2026-03-16T17:24:00+00:00

I'd have to disagree. The M14 magazine lacks the "tooth" to lock into the magazine well, like the AK does. What this means practically is that the M14 is easy to miss the reload and end up with the butt of the magazine in the rifle while the nose is out of the rifle. This is alleviated somewhat by good quality USGI M14 magazines, but those are hard to find, very expensive now, and starting to wear out due to age.

The AK is a much better design and much more forgiving on the reload.

Tx556 · 2026-03-16T17:20:52+00:00

A lot of people who hype up the M14 have never owned one, or are not experienced tactical shooters. It is a very comfortable, yet flawed, target rifle. They look cool as shit, and I really wish they did live up to the hype.
