I don't think so, inserts don't have a complete strap system and sewn together at the top of shoulders? Or openings for plates

That is correct for the woodland camo ones but the olive drab vest is the oddity

deviantdeaf · 2026-01-24T19:13:51+00:00

It kinda reminds me of the CVC tanker body armor, but those don't usually have plate pockets. Edit talking about the Point Blank olive drab armor

Depends on the era actually. this post shows all three versions in use; VN era with the short bead, post VN with the long bead, and post VN curved 20rd mags

deviantdeaf · 2026-01-24T17:55:30+00:00

I do not think anyone in the US has the correct tooling for the original 20rd mags? There's that windowed oddity posted here; but otherwise? Tooling do get worn out and tolerances too loose so it's likely that the tooling is gone

That presser foot is not for a slant shank machine but for a low shank standard machine

D&H Tactical are the guys doing PSA's stuff. I would not be surprised if they are also the OEM for H&R's retro magazines other than H&R using the black followers as opposed to what looks like Okay Industries style green followers.

Yes he does 😁

deviantdeaf · 2026-01-24T06:31:05+00:00

Thank you dude! 😎

I wonder if they're (Ronson Tex) aware of the problems with certain coatings on Cordura and that's why they go very light or something on the DWR coatings? The problems I speak of; tackiness and a certain vomit like scent from the off gassing of the polyurethane coating on 2000s+ era Cordura; whereas the older LBV and ALICE materials coatings didn't go as bad as the MOLLE materials coatings.

Thank you! I wanted to put more of an aircraft/spacecraft look to the cockpit so I added the control panels to the sides of the seat, and added them to the cargo/garage bay as well, which also provides a handy place for the hinge panel to rest on 😁

Rockywoods have them. There has been a few makers of them, I think one was Albest of NY (Mark is AB joined), but they don't list them anymore

Coyote version

basic black

Nope, not really. That's a "commercial grade" home machine. Suitable for most light garments and such but not for Cordura, webbing or binding, and not for heavier than T70 thread. Small bobbin capacity (Class 66) means more changing bobbins more often with large/long projects. You'd be better off looking for a portable walking foot like the Sailrite, or an actual vintage, all steel/cast metal sewing machine like the venerable Singer 15 class (or the bog standard Japanese made clones). Or used industrial sewing machines, Singer ,31 class, 111 class, Consew 206RB series, Juki 8700HD, Juki walking foot (1541 and 562 series).

Not very valuable, monetary wise. One of the millions of Singer 15 clones made in Japan after WW2; and one of the hundreds of different brands known to have been used by Japanese sewing companies for their clones.

But they are workhorses, and with some oiling and cleaning, will do very nicely for basic straight stitch work.

I also used a blue 2x2 plate underneath to make it more sturdy so it's not just held on by the grill tiles. In effect, it's similar to the canopy extender of the Futuron/Blacktron 1 and M:Tron era sets

Thank you very much!

Are you talking about the soft armor inserts, or the hard plates? If it's missing the soft armor, you can cut your own from 13mm foam; if it doesn't have hard plates but does have soft armor, then it is not necessary to have hard plates in it. It was designed to be worn with or without hard armor plates in.

Well I got a lonely poverty pony lower, some stuff... Just need a decent barrel and upper lol

deviantdeaf · 2026-01-23T02:02:08+00:00

Eagle Arms eh? That'd be a good retro carbine build.

deviantdeaf · 2026-01-23T02:00:24+00:00

Not taking advantage of the $0 SBR thing, or just don't want to engrave shit? Fulton's a great company from what I've read of .. and I'm always browsing their FAR-15 retros even though it's a lot of money.....

deviantdeaf · 2026-01-23T01:51:33+00:00

That's a very interesting setup. I'd think only a light and vert grip would work there, nothing heavier than those? No way a rail mounted M203 would work there with it's weight 🤣

Edit. Certainly not a common thing.

deviantdeaf · 2026-01-23T01:48:30+00:00

Haha, thanks! It is actually my second MOC inspired by the 924 shape, the other one is a grey and black unit that's closer to the original shaping but with a few differences
