Which brand are those? 1:25

Which version comes or came without the lining? The crater Rim is the current civvy version. Is there a linerless version of that? Edit: Apparently the extra length was by design. Because the boot was designed for the mountains of Afghanistan and troops carrying very heavy loads the extra length was supposed to prevent the wearer's toes from mashing into the front of the boot when traversing downhill.

Thank you for this information on this obscure jacket since I can't really find any other online sources of it

In Thailand,The Royal Thai Police Cadet Academy (RPCA) has adopted the culture of wearing the Kepi cap of the Gendarmerie police since about 1902 CE onwards. the kepi cap has been used with the study uniform and casual attire of police cadets at the RPCA.

can i use this as a motorcycle helmet

I just purchased a Steyr M.95. It's a long rifle. All walnut stock. Underslung swivels. I have a fancy S stamped over the widest part of the barrel shank. The original proof marks are hardly visible under the S. At the furthest point forward on the barrel taper, just before it goes under the rear sight, there is the number "4". What is this, or what does it indicate? On the right side of the receiver, just behind the barrel shank, and on the right side of the barrel shank before the taper, there are two stamps. But they are illegible to me. They might be the Austrian eagle crests?? The bolt: there is a K on the base of the bolt handle, and an R on the back of the firing pin body. There is a K stamped onto the front flange of the trigger/magazine group. The rifle definitely has the updated rear sight with range markings only on the left side. I CANNOT FIND AN IMPORT STAMP ANYWHERE - even under the barrel just behind the front sight. The front sight is attached to a barrel band. All serial numbers match. But the barrel shank font is different from the receiver. The bolt is electro-penciled. On the right side of the the stock, it has its original serial number lined-out, and the matching serial number (to the rest of the gun) next to it. On the left side of the stock is another set of numbers (very faint), but they do not match the lined-out serial number, or the updated serial number. What is your assessment?

I liked the unique design that was different from the US military. I still want one if I can get one now.

Thank God for the double-buckle boot!

Great video thanks! Can't wait to clean and then run some shots through it!

So American soldiers are dumb? Wow well as an 82ns Airborne Division Paratrooper retired i know private E-nothing with a greater problem solving melon than you will ever have you freakin pog.

Hallo, es gibt keinen sowjetischen Einfluss bei diesem Helm. Er ist das Produkt einer Entwicklung die mit der Pickelhaube begann und mit diesem DDR Modell endete. Die Fremdartigkeit oder Modernität des Helmes ergibt sich aus der Linienführung die gerade bis zum unteren Rand geführt wird und hervorragenden Schutz gegen Splitter und anderes gewährleistet. Alles Gute.

Came across this while cleaning the guns my FIL gave to me. Mine is a "Coast to Coast" brand, (re-branded Savage 340). Had to buy the mag tube rod for it, but once im done cleaning and oiling it, I'm absolutely gonna put some rounds through it!

You should not show people how to use a gun. They could use the information for evil.

Hold on a minute . I've got a fewU.S army E tools. Many types ww2. Very interesting.👍

I have an X-Large ECH, and it's been a pain to find any information this, plus I can't seem to find an extra large helmet cover for the ECH please help

I need one

Thank you! It's all about preservation of these rifles, since they are wholly about 19th/20th Century's reestablishment of Empire.

When did the Cetan Empire adopt this helmet?

Thank you for this info i have 2 of the canteens like that,

I like the 58 canteen to i got one on a backpacking trip i run in to some Britsh SAS guys that were on a hike in the USA like in 1980 .one of the guys really like my WW 2 USGI steel canteen & cup set and i really like his 58 canteen cup & Crusader cup & stove so we traded, i still use it to day .

This is great. Easy to wash. Lightweight. Kevlar is thin.

sometimes this helmet did not always protect from the sides and some people did not like this type of helmet

Did the Finnish remove the helmet lugs on their m16-18 and austro-Hungarian helmets given to them by the Germans. I’ve seen quite a few with their lugs missing

I’ve deer hunted over 20 years in a row with my early model 340 just like that. It took down 3 bucks by 8am one opening morning (group hunting)

Where did you get the repro Tsarist badge for the Russian Adrian?

Your rear sight ramp is missing .

I just acquired one of these from my Grandfather who passed last year

The leather on these boots is pig skin

Contrary to the video conclusions, the Mountain Cookset was developed and procured during World War II, nomenclature “Cookset, Mountain”, Stock No. 64-C-1145 Specification OQMG 79A, J.Q.D. No. 305 Drawings D-591, D-592, D-593, D-594, D-591A, supplied by contractors including Republic Stamping and Enameling Co. (“R.S.E.”) Canton, Ohio January - February, 1944.

When the example in the video supplied in 1952, the 10th Mountain Division was a Stateside training unit, not participating in the unpleasantness on the Korean Peninsula. Although the Division took them to Italy starting in December 1944, Fifth Army declared the Division’s specialized alpine and mountain gear unit level equipment, so it remained in depot storage in warehouses in Naples and the Peninsula Base Section in Pisa, while they went into the line in January 1945, much to the consternation of ski troopers who had trained with the equipment. Quartermaster Historian Thomas M. Pitkin, writing in 1944, includes the following in his monograph: “Along with the 1942 stove and intended to act as a container for it when it was carried in the rucksack, a mountain cookset was developed. This cookset designed to serve the needs of two men on extended operations away from a regular company mess, consisted of two pots which nested into each other, with a cover for the larger pot. The cover could also be used as a frying pan. The cookset was preferably made of aluminum for lightness, but the first large procurement was made using steel due to the critical shortage of the lighter metal. The combined stove and cookset attracted the attention of a number of arms and services, and it soon became apparent that issue would be requested by a variety of forces in the field, in addition to the mountain troops” (Footnotes omitted, page 52).

$130 is ridiculous

The only one i seen for sale is going for 700$

a stevens 3030

I have a pair from the mid 50's, spent forever feeding the leather & unfortunately the seam stiching is starting to waste. Hopefully I can find a good old fashioned cobbler to give them a new lease of life.

Thank you for making this video! I just bought one of these at a yard sale for $30 with the face shield. This video is one of the few pieces of info I can find on it

Dose anyone have any expiriance with a dishwasher and this canteen? I know its a bit lazy but sometimes its just more convenient.

I have a 340 just like you no letter designation it's in pretty good shape...has to be a 1950 or 1951

I have a 340e. My dad bought it for me when I was 15, I'm 50 now. It's seen better days and I'm planning on restoring it soon.

Traded in our steel pots for kelvar in Germany 1984. Never said PASGT, it was KELVAR period

I have a Taz 83 field shirt. I wear it for the drip, and by golly is it drippy!

Leggings also helped prevent leg cramps since the soldiers had to walk so much

$270 USD or CAD?

Drink up! 🥵

what??? they made a fordable titanium etool??? you have video?

Ordered a surplus one, let say it was kinda ruff. Looks like a Soviet tank ran over it in the Winter War.

Great video. A question. Can you get the DOT fasteners anywhere to replace on the Alpha M65. They are smaller than the issued real M65's.

You disappeared. What happened? Did you and Paige break up and she got the house?

how have they panned out 6 years later/ i bought a brand new pair 4 months ago and also suffered with that neoprene patch, but ended up with massive blisters..felt like my heels had been sliced open, i treat mine with renapur for the leather care but wondered what the best stuff is for the canvas panels if you have any idea.. i wear them daily (once the heel break in is done ) they are really comfortable for the reasonable amounts of distances i walk. i had the american panama soled boot a few years ago they where good but the haix boots are another level, i agree with a lot of your views and thoughts about them. thank you

As a police officer years ago, we were issued these from military surplus. I wore them during snow storms on duty, and they simply keep your feet warm. I also used them at home whenever I had to shovel snow. Mine were made in 1979, and are currently in my garage in California. They are great for use in water too. These boots will be around well after I pass on, and hopefully someone else will get use out of them. They still look like the day i received them.
