    Every A-Team had one...very rare today, especially working. Developed in the late 1940's/early 50's by the CIA as the electrically identical RS-1 spy-set, this is an improved version (c1964) US Army GRC-109A station... made to be buried, submerged and take a lick'n and keep on tick'n.

    Re: Another Okinawa Veteran... I think the issue was the Marine love affair with the Ka-Bar knives... I imagine that enlisting pre-1941 and being issued a knife that you carried for almost 5 years makes you pretty attached... especially when it was stamped USMC and your new one is USN <grin>...

    Among other stuff, this USMC issued fighting knife was brought home after WW2 by a relative. It's a USN Mk 2 Combat Knife made by Cammillus. The owner was pretty disappointed when he got this one just before Okinawa. He had his original issue Kabar made Mark 2,USMC marked knife and leather...

    This is a battlefield bring-back by a relative who picked it up on Okinawa during WW2. It's a Type 89 Japanese Army HE mortar round for the Type 89 Nambu "Knee Mortar" seen in The Pacific and recounted by nearly every Marine who fought the Japanese in WW2. The mortar was valued because it...

    Sling Help - SPR

    Re: Sling Help - SPR I ended up purchasing both the VTAC2 and VCAS slings to evaluate them. After trying them both I found that I liked the VCAS best for the reasons mentioned here and the fact that it fits my use model better, I think it carries a heavy rifle better. Both slings are quality...

    Sling Help - SPR

    Re: Sling Help - SPR Is it worth getting the Blue Force Vickers with the sewen on push button QD sling swivels ? I already have extra of those... is there a problem threading them on the standard Vickers sling ? Or is it just that the sewen on ones look cuter :-)

    Sling Help - SPR

    I wanna put a sling on my Noveske N6 18" SPR. I'm considering a Viking VTAC2. I suspect they were originally intended for a carbine but even though scoped, the N6 with the 18" tube and Emod stock seems "carbineish" (and heavy) and not that well suited for a TAB or TIS style sling. Comments...
