USMC_COLLECTOR Posted January 26, 2023 #1 Posted January 26, 2023 Here I did two nam impressions. The first is of an army soldier on a patrol without a ruck in 1968, and the other is one of my personal favorites, a marine in Hue city. All original gear with the exception of the gun. Please leave any comments or feedback on either one of these impression.
iron bender Posted January 26, 2023 #2 Posted January 26, 2023 Your kits look awesome! Now find some private land in summer time to go sweat them out, take a 5 mile hike through terrain and at least one waist level creek, a touch of mud, a night sleeping outside with no camping gear (maybe a poncho), and it'll be spot on. Don't forget you need some mechanical dirtiness from MG's/afv's on your gear too! Nice work

Rakkasan187 Posted January 26, 2023 #4 Posted January 26, 2023 Both impressions look very good. I presume you don't have a rifle sling yet.. Leigh
USMC_COLLECTOR Posted January 26, 2023 Author #5 Posted January 26, 2023 I do, it's a cotton one on my garand for now. I'm planning on using it for my army in the future. Do you have any you would sell? 1 hour ago, Rakkasan187 said: Both impressions look very good. I presume you don't have a rifle sling yet.. Leigh

Do you have any you would sell? I will check for you and let you know what I may have. I have some black rifle slings and possibly a green one as well.. I will let you know in a day or so.. Leigh
TheCanadianCollector Posted April 2, 2024 #8 Posted April 2, 2024 Is that a M1961 buttpack in the first impression?
USMC_COLLECTOR Posted April 2, 2024 Author #9 Posted April 2, 2024 That is correct. 7 hours ago, TheCanadianCollector said: Is that a M1961 buttpack in the first impression?
