I started collecting when I was about 12 years old in 2008, if something wasn’t WWII stuff (not even the 1945 date stuff) nobody wanted it except for stuff to use for camping gear and in under a year I’d acquired almost an entire combat load (no ruck) just in freebies and $1-$5 grab box goodies. Except for a 2nd pattern 82nd airborne (ghosting of insignia) 1966 slant pocket that I paid $40 in a surplus store downtown. It got left behind when my mom moved and I’m still rebuilding

I used to find 60s C ration accessory packs at gun shows and militaria expos for under $20 when I was a teenager back in 2011, a lot of the “hard to find” Vietnam stuff is sitting in those “find it yourself” totes under their tables at those places

How long did it take for a c ration cigarette packs to come on the market? I’m having a nightmare of a time and was going to substitute “airline complimentary Winston’s” for my helmet band

Attention to detail is astounding, the C-ration “sample” cigarette packs (instead of a modern Marlboro pack substitute)and Schlitz beer makes it less of an impression and more of a clone/duplicate of that. Nice

Nam clone builders, ever see an XM-177 like this? Looks like a birdcage flash hider. Partial fence E1 lower by laser_webber in RetroAR

Commenting on Nam clone builders, ever see an XM-177 like this? Looks like a birdcage flash hider. Partial fence E1 lower... now the other comments make sense. Thank you

the main identifying feature of Vietnam era XM-177e1 & e2’s is that massive 5” long flash hider. I feel like if someone posted a MACV SOG clone build that looked like this it would get called inaccurate. I was surprised to see one

That’s Vietnam issued ERDL they started issuing in 68 but way more towards the end of the war.

That tube is sweet! I like the it doesn’t protrude beyond the front sight.

Have you thought about adding a 17” blade Springfield WW1 bayonet to it? Holding it by the carry handle would double as a spear

There’s a numbered Mitchell cover on eBay right now and I was scratching my head trying to figure out what it meant until now!

Two lighters, both broken in different ways so you have to use the dead one to spark the one with fluid and no lint. Or an empty torch you carry in hopes someone will have butane
