might go for US airborne theres a bigger market for that, or mabe a mix like the FSSF thoughs guys clean house. Where did you get most of your kit from?

Hey all!
It's Squibber, for the record.
I am putting together a WWII airborne kit, 82nd, yea, Erik_james gets the screaming eagles.
My webbing and thompson mag pouch is on order, so I should have then inside of a month.

Cheers

Crown does have some pretty good stuff... you just gotta look hard and ask either the owner (forget his name, curly black hair and glasses) or his father.

his wife/brother in law mean well but they don't know all to much. I asked if they had any mitchell pattern helmet covers in stock and they wern't sure whate that looked like, so I explained it to them and pointed it out on a poster. They said they had none, so I thanked them and left. On the way out, I looked through a window (that looks into their storage rooms) and saw a few of these covers on helmets :(

ebay is always a good bet, but as far as that SAS you could just get a black/od sweater (military wool type, easy to come by) a red berret and whatever trousers they used. Then you gotta talk some airsoft companies into making either a stengun or even better, a Mk. 4 Lee Enfeild

Good luck

I'm alive an' well in Cowtown. Don't have the net but my number is (403) 473-1190. I don't care about my privacy, lol. Please call, it's rather borin' an' I have hardly any time on the net to check upcoming dates for games.

To all you ww2'ers

There is the "Things Military" shop over behind the old Ikea store in the N.E(in the phone book) and there is a new store called Harrisons (3 or 4 months old) accross from Chinook by the B.o.M. bank, and he used to sell airsoft guns too!!
Haven't been there for a bit though. There is also Shoulder to Shoulder Collectibles on 9th ave 2 doors east of spolombos rest.
Hope this helps.
I'm working on a German outfit, but got a long way to go.(Hence the kar 98)
got the lid, no suspension but its a start.

i have a bit of ww2 style stuff that i might get rid of i dunno if anyone interested just send me a pm

Since we're talking about ww2 interest, thought I'd revive this thread and throw it out there for any Albertans in the Calgary area interested in getting together.

Im interested, I came across a site that runs a Battle of the Bulge sim in Washington. You can rent the gear as well.

Yeah... look at the next thread below this one

Ya that's the one :)

Im thinking of going so if anyone from Calgary is interested let me know and we can split gas money.

Nobody from Calgary is into WW2, only 1 guy has a serious Vietnam impression.
Most of it is modern, particularly PSD shit.

That and there has been a larger imflux of noobs who tend to not handle milsims at all.

If you're interested in starting, let me know. I'm always lookin for people.

I'm from Edmonton, but travel lots. So if you guys are serious I'm sure I can make a trek or two. Wehrmact, I might be interested in splitting a trip.... Let me know!
