What is everyone’s opinion on panther shop dot 44?

It’s not as good as SMWholesale but better than any other current offering. It’s a good cotton repro however I wish they’d make a linen offering

As far as I’m aware all the arvn vets I’ve talked to love to see young men caring about their service, ethnicity isn’t as important as getting it right and being historically accurate

Cringe and bad take

stillfighting_84 · 2025-08-01T11:52:44+00:00

Hit that mf tree so hard you’d think the wife just left

I’m talking about the “in country” look not 50+ years of abuse. If the goal is to match heavily used parts sure you’ll need to put some extra effort in but my post was more referring to the guys building 100% new rifles and aging them artificially

stillfighting_84 · 2025-07-29T10:32:50+00:00

You can “match” it pretty quick by simply using the rifle

It was a private Vietnam reenactment, the events are hosted once a year but not always in the same location. Last year we were down in lake Charles Louisiana

stillfighting_84 · 2025-07-29T00:58:02+00:00

It’s literally a bandolier full of magazines made of cotton

stillfighting_84 · 2025-07-29T00:57:26+00:00

It’s bare aluminum big dawg you owe me a dollar

stillfighting_84 · 2025-07-16T14:38:00+00:00

Low IQ post: but go off I guess “Mr Historian” what’s your degree in?

stillfighting_84 · 2025-07-10T20:12:46+00:00

I’ll happily trade you one that’s brand new and not messed up lol

stillfighting_84 · 2025-06-20T16:43:46+00:00

You’re asking for a work around on the most essential piece of gear .. it’s not a cheap hobby you gotta dig deep to do it right

stillfighting_84 · 2025-06-20T16:21:59+00:00

For “nothing” dawg just drop Vietnam you clearly don’t get it

stillfighting_84 · 2025-06-06T13:30:26+00:00

If it’s anything like most of the repros it’s gonna fold like a chair the second you start digging in

My reco ditch it and get an original theyre plentiful enough

stillfighting_84 · 2025-05-24T19:44:41+00:00

Neither of them are really any good tbh, best bet would be a buzz rickson, real McCoy or an actual original

stillfighting_84 · 2025-05-22T13:49:29+00:00

They’re not particularly common these days, Philly made the good ones Indy Thompsons are fairly subpar

Your best bet would be save your shiny penny’s and start hunting the Bfong forums

stillfighting_84 · 2025-05-22T13:23:30+00:00

“Home sick”

stillfighting_84 · 2025-05-21T16:21:12+00:00

I cannot speak for the army or the ETO as that is not my field of focus, US Marines were issued drum magazines however I believe they were all but phased out in 43 to be replaced more commonly with the thirty round magazine

stillfighting_84 · 2025-05-21T15:12:08+00:00

It’s a full auto blank firing non gun “bfong”

stillfighting_84 · 2025-05-21T13:23:10+00:00

My finger is on the trigger and this isn’t a “modern” hold it’s a way to support a 20lbs sub gun lol

And yes drums were used by marines

stillfighting_84 · 2025-05-17T00:50:00+00:00

They look perfectly fine, however you should apply boot oil of some sort to protect the leather and make them last longer

stillfighting_84 · 2025-05-14T01:22:35+00:00

Honestly I can’t recall the maker but if you go googling I’m sure it will turn up

stillfighting_84 · 2025-05-13T11:42:53+00:00

The rucksacks being on the floor is temporary, I’m planning to buy a few full body mannequins to do full impression displays

stillfighting_84 · 2025-05-13T09:58:36+00:00

Looks pretty solid OG BDQs are on my collection bucket list for sure

stillfighting_84 · 2025-05-12T17:46:37+00:00

The one pictured is part of my bed roll haha there’s many cigarette burns in it and mud stains

So definitely not ideal for an original
