That vietnam helmet I got that has the dent on it, what would be the best method to get rid of that dent? Do i use a rubber mallet or what?

Has anyone here ever walked on boots with hobnails?
What's that shit like.

I'm giving up on my search for M05.

I'm going to buy another set of Wz2010.

>>34125259
It's a nice camo. Pretty good for the Midwest during autumn and spring, and is passable in summer. In the woods in winter it would seem alright, too.

Are the only advantages of Patrol smocks over normal duds more pockets and insulation?

>>34125324
Waterproofing?

>>34124865
If you want to restore it. Use a rounded thick wooden dowel and a mallet. If your wil lingo repaint. Heat it with a blow torch.

It's just like any other shoe, you don't really notice the difference. If you start noticing the difference, there's a problem with them.

>>34124865
Or maybe let the dent in it. Gives it character

HOW
THE FUCK
DO YOU DEAL WITH THEM
mine are properly sized, heated, broken in wet, dry, a thousand different ways and they STILL make my ankle fucking bleed even with a brand new insole
unbeknownst to me, I got drunk at a meet and shouted for about a half hour about how bad they were while trying to get them untied

>>34129259
Maybe soften and condition them? Yeah they were a bitch to break in but I used saddlesoap and polished them and wore 2 pairs of socks. Hope it helps man

>>34129259
Have you tried manning up you little batty boy?

It do take some conditioning of your feet to get used to wearing boots full time.

I've never cared much for surplus clothing, but I recently bought a Belgian parka because it was $12. Threw it in the washer and now it has holes. Is that something you're not supposed to do or was it just poor quality? Anyways, a $12 loss isn't gonna make me cry, but I'd like to know for future reference what to do and not do. Thanks

Actually the holes aren't too bad and I guess they kinda add to the character. I'll just deal with it. Thanks guys

>>34130757
>>34131278
What else did you wash it with? Unless it was already damaged, that shouldn't happen.

>>34131308
just normal clothes: tshirts and jeans. One of the pairs of jeans got a bit scuffed, but overall no other damage except to the jacket

Okay. Swiss M1918/40 with camo cover, or Finnish M40/55? Which Should I get? I'm not sure which is gonna disappear from the market sooner.

>>34130386
I did all of that man. They're fucking death, still.
>>34130487
I work on my feet all the damn time, it's hard to man up when your boots are wearing actual bleeding holes into your feet

Ww2/kore/early nam helmets have a dealer profile and sir lower on the head. It's hard to tell from just one helmet, but if you put them next to another it's a giveaway.

Both of these are rear seam helmets, right one I found in my granfathers barn. It's totally straight with minor rusting and perfect paint and sand. Left I bought a few years ago for $60, darn green overcoat with lighter green showing through, and cork I believe though it isn't fixed bail.

My steel pot also has areas where the paint is chipping and where it looks like it was running. Thing is though, this is not uncommon, repaints happened all the time while a helmet is in service and just looking at the color of paint and where it's been worn off and such really makes me believe that your helmet wasn't repainted by some idiot in his backward but probably while the helmet was still in service. Also the color does appear to be the apple green which would be the standard M1 helmet color from 1968 until it's replacement, my guess is that the original paint was almost gone so it was quickly repainted and then stuffed back on a rack to be reissued.

>>34174953
That makes a lot more sense than my theory. Honestly I think I might leave the paint be since it's gonna have a cover but I am gonna have to replace the chinstraps. Thank you for your help!

A quick heads-up for all you DIY enthusiasts - eBay user kit-ka-boodle has a bunch of Estonian camo fabric (listed as Russian Digiflora for some bizarre reason) for sale.

Why is camo so hard to find in SA, it's either overpriced, hunter camo shit or its common shit that sells for three times its value. Fucking bullshit

>kommandostore has Flecktarn and Puma parkas for cheap
>international shipping and customs make it unaffordable

At this point I think I should just start trading South African webbing with Burgers and Yuros for milsurp camo

Probably not considering that screws hold the barrel/receiver onto the magazine/trigger guard assembly. So I doubt it's gonna jump out of the stock. You could technically fire the whole thing without the stock attached.

I'm watching Siege of Jadotville, and it appears the Irish used a lot of gear similar to the Brits, however it still appears to be quite distinct in certain regards. Has Irish cold war surplus ever come up for sale online? I know they have a quite a small army, even back in the Cold War so I imagine they don't like to get rid of anything.

How do I go about cleaning milsurp clothing?

I've got a M43 Gimnasterka and a Syrika/OKZK cap + mask. Should I take them to the dry cleaners? Or is there a better way to clean them up?

I'm surprised how little washing and cleaning is mentioned on these threads. I like the milsurp musty smell, but it is unreasonable to leave dirt and shit on them

Resident of another board here with a question, please.

Quite the contrary, sadly they actively attempt to burn/destroy all obsolete gear to this day. As to what gear they actually had, I'm not sure if it was their own webbing or if they got '58 Pattern stuff from the Brits.

MARPAT Poncho liners are rare as fuck even in the Marine Corps itself, I've only ever seen green tricolor ones and coyote ones. Plus I use most of my gear camping anyways, I was just thinking of offloading blouses/trousers since I won't be wearing muh slave outfit no mo'

It was just a thought because last time I was across the pond I saw desert MARPAT blouses going for 40pounds in Brighton, I was thinkin maybe get some cash for the pub and totally not trade in for (guilty pleasure) flektarn camping gear

>>34180847
Silly goose, there is no solid color coyote poncho liner. They're all marpat/coyote, it's just the that marpat fades like nothing else, and is hardly to totally invisible after 1 day of use.

>>34181581
OKZK stuff is treated with something to absorb chemicals/gas so you'd probably want a warm wash, only thing is that they tend to get worn out fast.
As for the Gimnasterka, usually for old things I give them a cold hand-wash with a mild soap.

Muh security basically. Mexico and Ireland destroy their surplus so that cartels/IRA don't get their hands on them and impersonate them.
Allegedly the Swedes used to sell their M90 as surp until one day a dude infiltrated a base wearing a uniform he put together.
A lot of Euro countries, particularly Sweden, Denmark, and Norway have banned Permethrin from being used within their borders but use it for uniforms, so that's one reason why desert uniforms from those countries are so rare and hard to find as they are required to burn them all before they even return to their home country.

Really just old Brit OD uniforms and '58 pattern gear would be your best bet if you're going for a recreation or something, just find some Irish insignia and throw it on.
Not sure if it has a specific name, but whatever OD they wore pre-DPM in the 60's should work.

Do milsurp cartridge belts and pouches still show up, or are those all gone now? I'd love a classic leather pouch sort of thing.

>>34186808
The 1903 leather bandoliers (in brown) you see in that pic are mostly repro now.
Protip: Search for Star Wars Jawa bandoliers and you will get cheaper repro of the same thing.
Otherwise they're piss easy to build yourself.

For any other generic leather milsurp pouches, you can get eastern european ones very easily.

>>34186932
WHat sort of stuff to search for eastern euro ones?

>>34187142
Actually it might depend where you are, I was looking at Britbong eBay where European shipping can often be reasonable.
Still try eBay though, at least to get an idea. Look for leather ammo pouches and make sure you're in the Collectibles > Military Surplus category.

>>34187673
I get it. I was thinking more for the yugo Mauser belts what I'd do for either across the shoulder or the waist.

>>34187697
As long as it's purely for aesthetics then just get a nice normal brown leather belt with a really basic buckle but if you're wanting to be able to wear it over your shoulder then you should expect the belt to warp a little bit either around your shoulder or hip, you would need an extra 45 degree link to make up for this. Or just wear it under a coat or something and no one will know.

I actually went ANA's Rostov, mainly because the photo on the site was the same as in pic related (The updated picture on the site shows a better representation, as the brown is quite green).
It works rather well for my purposes (which is just daily wear- NOT operating), though I often wear it over a hoodie. It's also quite comfy, if I say so myself. That said, if I were to go back and change my decision, I'd probably go for the fleece-lined, just simply based on my circumstances.
The biggest thing to keep in mind is what you're buying it for. If you want a winter suit, I'd say go fleece. If you don't plan on going out in it below 20 degrees, most anything should be fine. If it's just a fashion item (like mine really was), just go with what looks coolest to you.

Is that sum Croat special forces digi?

>>34209602
I might be wrong, but it looks more like just faded normal stuff. The woodland fades to near grey after one or two washes from my own experiences.

Knowing korea, it's the real stuff. I may be totally wrong.

Thanks famalam

Not to sound like a shill, but has anyone ever gotten anything from southafricanmilitarysurplus co za? Some of that Nutria stuff seems kinda neat, and I'd rather not support NE or whatever.

I recently bought a '75 Soviet tanker helmet that has the forehead pad painted orange. Is this some kind of rank indicator or did some douche paint the front of his helmet for cosmetic reasons?

>>34212316
I've seen numbers but not orange paint. Could be for training like to designate someone's role.

>>34212594
I thought that too. It has the pink stamp under the neck flap if that helps.

Anything but quality

>>34213091
I saw a dude wearing a real Alpha Industries bomber jacket today. He looked comfy as fuck.

w2c?

>>34214063
Not gonna happen. I'm convinced he's got the only one in existance. Just regular sumpftarnmuster is rare but a sumpftarnmuster MA-1 is on a whole new level of unobtanium

Now that´s a proper commando team if I ever saw one. They should´ve made a campy 80's B action film with those guys.

>>34214661
They've already got Tom Hanks.

>>34217018
Nice I have 3 pairs of 1966 Jungles with the olf vibram soles on them. You have good taste
>>34217437
He posted the gun earlier you retarded faggot

>>34217761
Also how the fuck do i get the nape straps in the liner? I think i got it but post your helmet liner, i wanna see if I got it right

>>34218752
I actually removed mine, I read somewhere that most troops discarded their nape strap because it was uncomfortable and made their head hotter but I could dig it up and put it back on if I found it

>>34216852
Postage was a killer. I could have gotten a much better nick one but there was $29 postage.

I've only seen one other, it had a BGS patch and tab on the left shoulder, probably added by someone.
They aren't issue, they're Mil-tec/Sturm items that I guess were factory seconds or just some failed product, notably the sideways pattern.
I haven't seen any others besides these two.
