I used mosquito netting. -The Truth is Out There-

Hey guns, I'm picking up a Sig 238 in the coming weeks and was looking into getting an ambidextrous safety for it, but I've only found one guy who makes them, and I'd have to send it in to be done. I'd rather just do it myself or done locally. The 238 is a clone of the Colt Mustang, so would the...

You could also cover the rifle with hair ties, then add natural veg to it. That's what I do.

Who are you referring to? -The Truth is Out There-

Base uniform doesn't really matter. After the ghillie wash and use it all turns brown anyways, but try to get something that matches your AO i.e. DCU for dead grassy plains, BDU for woodland, UCU for snowy areas, etc. One size up should be sufficient. Don't worry about long or whatever. The...

Lets see your ghillie. Post-wash: I used a lot less jute on this one than my on my last ghillie, but I think it works. I'll need to fan the jute out some once it's dried completely. I have left over to add if I need it. Btw, never bring a German Shepherd to do a ghillie wash with you. He...

Lets see your ghillie. Armpit mesh: Gave the collar a button: Reinforced elbows with the Cordura: Mosquito netting in the boonie with flap for rain/cold weather: Cordura on the front, netting on the back: Zippers on pant legs for easy on/off with boots: Boot stirrups: All I...

Here is my newest one I'm making for my section. Beings as it's my third one, I went all out on it. Base is a leftover pair of multicams. Cordura 1000 denier on the front: Tactical Concealment netting on the back: Moved the pocket to the sleeve and added finger loops: Clips on the sides...

Looking to upgrade my drag bag and I really enjoyed having the Granite Gear case for the EBR I was issued. The only downside is that they are $550 new, and even used ones go for hundreds. The main feature I like about it is that it has the opening flap for pulling the rifle out when dragging...

I'm not sure if I can post eBay links, but I found some that are pretty close to what I need. If I can, I'lll post the link for those interested.

Ok, but I'm looking for the specific type used on ACUs and Multicams. Do you know what the model number or name are?

I'm posting in fieldcraft because this is for my next ghillie suit. I'm going to be implementing mesh ventilation in the armpit areas and I want to add a zipper so I can have them open for summer or closed for winter. The set up will be similar to the vent system on the Army pt jacket. I want...

Can you post the picture on here? The link isn't working, just shows a blank photobucket page for me.

Exactly. Thank you. Not so much excuses as facts. The military doesn't make time for thorough training, and they don't pay you enough to justify spending $200 on ammo every paycheck to go do it on your own (unless you have absolutely nothing else to spend your money on). Those that do have the...

While I can confirm that military weapons are, for the most part, p.o.s., I can also attest that they are not all crap. I personally used the M110 and liked it a lot. I'm a very small framed individual and left handed, so the lower recoil and ambidextrous functions were definitely a plus. It can...

I get what you are saying, and a LRF IS more accurate than any manual method, but in reality a sniper isn't going to make a 1000m shot to begin with. So in the realm of realistic sniper shots, 800m is the max for most. It sure is for me. 1000m is tough for anyone, even using a BC. My point was...

We had a list of random common things written down and measured so we could mil properly, like the bumper width of the popular cars or the jingle trucks in the AO, even military vehicles, etc. That way we could accurately mil those TOI. Other soldiers thought we were weird for carrying around a...

Depends on why I would be shooting past 1k. Considering the M24 and M110 are rated for 800m, 1000m shooter dependent, I wouldn't confidently try to make that shot unless someone needed help that far away. Another reason why both the shooter and spotter should mil the target and average the...

I'd rather spend $700-$2000+ on ammo or upgraded parts than on a LRF, especially when I can mil it or or do some RE.

That sounds like the video I saw too. He later comes back and explains how it happened. Maybe just coincidence, but it sounds familiar.
