@@DevinK well I can admit when I am wrong. I stand corrected Sir. I apologize. I was going by my own wingmaster. Not sure of manufacturer date. But mine is plastic.
I picked up a NOS pair made by Belleville. Haven’t used them extensively but they look to be a well thought out and made boot. Careful to inspect them thoroughly before buying though. Some pairs out on the resale market have an issue on the inside where the lining wasn’t secured and/or came loose over time and has caused uncomfortable bumps that protrude and make contact with the foot.
The airframe was Always a interesting helmet also the Russians and Ukrainians are using a replica airframe helmet In Ukraine the Russians have the spartanet 3 helmet imported by 5.45 design but its just a Chinese made militech helmet that they have been using i recently acquired a militech airframe I might make a video on it this would be the first time I make a helmet video if I did make it from what I see it’s not the same as a original crye airframe with material being Kevlar also the replica one has a Wendy clone retention system and pads the helmet is comparable to all the other Chinese made helmets by militech and other company’s that sell Chinese made helmets like hard head veterans early helmets and ballistic armor co. Etc The helmet looks allmost identical to the real one only the shroud color and interior and rails are different due to it being a clone but if you put ops core rails and shroud it would look like the original.
I nabbed this rifle from my dads closet, its been taken to the range once in the last 30 years probably, still has the dookendorf irons, im new to rifle shooting and have seen this gun my whole life and i want to see if i can get any good with it 🤙
Just purchased a 340 C 30/30 in excellent shape and the side mount scope base , Then 3-9 weaver scope was purchased so I have about $ 450 in the items and going to load some pointed 30 cal bullets in this cartrige to see what they will do !!! Very nice gun to have and I'm looking for some other calibers in that model to buy . Enjoyed your video . Dave Cook
The back pockets are from left to right are for gas mask, mess kit and water flask. The back pack long pockets left and right are for rifle anti tank grenades.The two inside straps are used to buckle the trouser suspenders to help carry the load of fully packed trousers with hand grenades etc.
@@DevinK ay alright, I would be careful as they are very radioactive due to the paint and I reccomendndoe your to keep a good distance(about 4 feet or so), also to have the room well ventilated due to their ability to produce a good amount of radon gas. If you want to check i recommend a cheap Geiger counter such as a gmc-300/320.
One note about night vision on the PASGT; the primary method to attach a night-vision mount is to take the bracket and hook a nylon strap to the top that goes over the top of the helmet and hooks onto the lip of the helmet at the rear. You can see US troops with this system during the 2003 Iraq invasion. Personally I would recommend this method as it's much easier to install and doesn't involve messing with any of the existing hardware on the helmet and possibly compromising its integrity. Plus you don't have to cut a hole in the cover for the screw to go through.
Sorry but in 1914 India did make a 17” blade bayonet the same length as your Remington 1907 bayonet, it is called the Ishapore Pattern 1907 bayonet “RFI” with 17” blade. The second short blade Indian bayonet is not known as the 1907 bayonet but your bayonet with false edge ( 2” sharpening on top tip of blade) is a Indian No1 Mk2* bayonet. The Ross bayonet although patterned in 1907 is referred to as the Pattern 1908 bayonet now known as the Mk1 Ross bayonet.
I recently bought an ex-Danish army CGF Gallet helmet with the MTP cover fixed on the helmet shell. The liner is the ACH style foam paddings and the chin strap is marked Revision, its the same as the latest British Virtus helmet chin strap. The scratched spots on the shell are in yellow so I think its made of aramid fibre. Have you ever heard this type of helmet? I think its just got phased out not too long ago.
Their purpose was to provide ankle support and protection for the lower legs. They were cheaper and more breathable than making taller leather boots. They also kept water and debris out of your boots.
Greetings to you. Please, can you inform me if the sole in these boots is durable and what is it like to wear these boots in winter? I wish you all the best !The boots look very good
I had 7 of it and send it to Limmers boots for resole. Wow. Best leather It’s a Bally boots. They are expensive now before I bought it $35 a pair. If you found one buy it and have them resole. And you have the best boots in the world
The BDU top doesn't have a bi-swing back. The BDU stopped being made in 100% cotton and switched to 50/50 nyco ripstop around 1993-1994. The 100% cotton ones fade really fast and are less durable plus they duy slower, however they are lighter and are comfy to wear.
The Vz.28 looked similar to the Austrian-Hungarian M17 helmet. And why does it look similar you might ask? It’s because we got independence from A.-Hungary.
@@DevinK I understand they aren't designed to stop rounds but only frag and shrapnel but I have never saw a test where a PASGTs failed to stop a 9mm Luger. It's well enough known that they're commonly referred to as NIJ lvl IIIA ( I'm aware helmets don't fall under the NIJ body armour rating system). The Italian version however has consistently failed to stop a 9mm in every instance I've seen it tested. I've even read from Italian soldiers who liked how light and comfortable the rig is but as far as protection goes it's not on par with peer countries counterparts.
I don’t think that the extra holes mean that it was an m40, those where probably drilled to fit the Hungarian helmet liners as the Finish probably had extra stock of those, at least more than their custom ones to fit their m55 stahlhelms. The m40s that the Germans used had split pins towards the front, which the m55’s eventually did. But before that they probably just used the Hungarian liners that had the extra rivet spots in the back. This is just what I saw when researching after someone else claimed that the “real” German helmets had the extra holes, which i don’t think is true. Hard to know for sure though as there is not a lot of info around the m55 (m40/55) helmets.
I’m guessing you are confusing the Hungarian m35 and m38 which are two different helmets with different liners. The Hungarian m38 has a very German based one piece liner and chinstrap. Whereas the Finn did not they had a liner and chinstrap system based off the German and Austrian m17 from wwi which had separate liner and chinstrap but it’s what they had Infrastructure to produce and it was easier to just punch holes in the shell then was the change how they made liners.
Their is plastic to. The trigger guard is plastic. You learned something today.

The side profile of the Mk.7 reminds me of a mid-cut "gunfighter"-style ACH; halfway between the normal and high-cut styles.

Well abs isn’t a model of helmet it’s a type of plastic

Did Britain have a department for silly military equipment. No doubt to make the enemy incapable of fighting due to falling around laughing.

PASGTs actually stop bullets. These Italian versions might as well be made of paper-mache.
