how much its cost

@ChrisfurrsMilitaria1941 Күн бұрын

@user-fb7xw3xj9i it was about £ 45 because it is in relic condition. i bought the scabbard separately to complete it. This was many years ago so the prices have gone up

Really funny, they’ve got good gas masks but they don’t even know the names of them! Which in my opinion is really stupid. They’ll just be misinforming other people which I hate. They’re calling the Civilian Duty Respirator the Special Service Respirator???? What?! They’re making the names up as they go along! Cheers, TM.

@ChrisfurrsMilitaria1941 22 күн бұрын

@Tmilitaria thanks Tom yeah i was thinking that too. Yep i agree that its misinforming the public when they look at the displays and think oh thats what its called but the mask is not named correctly.

I managed to get one of these for Christmas one year. The bolt is finicky, but if I lift it up slightly then I can move it back. I want to convert it to shoot ball bearing projectiles one day. But I wanna try and make it more like a real M1, not that it will fire bullets, but so it has the openable butt plate and the adjustable sights.

@ChrisfurrsMilitaria1941 25 күн бұрын

@layne620 nice! i think it depends on what one you get with the build quality mine works fine luckily. Hope all goes well with the ball bearing conversion. Thanks for the comment

Thanks for posting! I was a rifleman 0311 (Purple Heart) Marine in Vietnam for one-year and put Halazone in canteens the entire time because we rarely had clean water and had to fill up from stream. I recently got an empty bottle [looks new] from eBay and it lists these: 1/16 grain Halazone with sodium borate and chloride. From Abbott Laboratories, Chicago. Did taking this stuff 100s of times harm my health? Hope someone can help me with this. A quick google search of sodium borate and chloride showed that they are harmful to health. I'll do more research in an attempt to see if this stuff is "truly" harmful when taken for one year at about the rate of two tabs per canteen. We drank two-three canteens each day; while in 100 degrees and walking tens of miles with gear.

@ChrisfurrsMilitaria1941 Ай бұрын

Thanks for commenting appreciated telling a bit of you time in the forces i would of thought that they would be harmful to health if they were uesed not of the intended use like taking the tablets as they are and not putting them in the water.

Yeah the kit that i used is the AMT ERTL Fast & Furious 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo 1:25 Scale Model Kit and the only parts that i used was the body shell, chassis, glass and the dashboard. The rest was scratch built and aftermarket parts. For the wheels they were off a AMT nascar kit but recently released some aftermarket crager black wheels that are correct that you can get now.
