Default OT: Mil surp addiction

Hi everyone my name is Jonny and I am addicted to collecting military surplus.

Today I worked at a gunshow and I didn't buy anything until I got to the military vehicle show outside of the gunshow...there I found an original ww2 BAR belt and I plunked down $50 for it just because I have always wanted one. Its old and canvas and kinda smells. It will hold 12-20 round BAR magazines, 12 -20 round M14 magazines or 18-20 round M16 Magazines!! Bwahahaha my fetish for nostalgia is satified for a moment.

For some reson new stuff just doesn't get me going that much. I like some of it but there is just something about imagining this old piece of ww2 gear, continueing to serve on into Korea and then Vietnam with the SF guys. I liked how our military re used stuff back in those days.

On secondary note my XM-177e2 is on its way. I plan on doing a weapons thread for you guys one days so you can see all the cold war stuff I have.

Take it easy
