Corpsmancollector Posted July 13, 2010 Share #6 Posted July 13, 2010 Ken, this is an awesome impression! I've recently read Force Recon Diary by Bruce Norton and am putting together a Marine Recon impression myself. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kammo-man Posted July 17, 2010 Share #11 Posted July 17, 2010 Ken , Very nice . Now for the hard stuff. You have to get an extra pair of leather gloves and cut the fingers off ....more recon. Gas mask case on the back , loose it . Other wise nice . owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCRECON Posted July 17, 2010 Share #12 Posted July 17, 2010 Your impression looks really good. The only comment I might make, and this comes from over 40 year old memory, is that I don't remember ever seeing a K-bar that was quite so reddish brown. All the ones I remember, including the one I brought home had a dark brown sheath and handle. The short bbl M-16 (XM-177E1), if I remember was a pretty rare commodity in Recon in 67-68. I had one for a short while late in my tour but had to turn it back in. The most populous individual weapon (if certainly not the most popular) was the standard M-16 with forward bolt assist and 3-prong flash suppressor (that worked well at opening the wire band on C-rats and Long-rats). Someone else commented on leather gloves with the fingers cut off...that may have become popular later as well. As I remember, most of us didn't wear gloves of any sort, except for some of the point men, perhaps. Maybe they were more popular in 3rd recon....don't know 'bout that.

Mr. Standfast Posted August 7, 2010 Share #13 Posted August 7, 2010 What brand is that USMC knife? I like it. My brother had a Case reproduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
