Re: SOG Early
Cool picture. Any idea as to whom manufactured the NV and suppressor?
I wonder how clear that G1 NV was?!

Re: SOG Early
That is pretty cool. I wonder how good that NV was along with the suppressor?

Either he's short, or that's a long gun. Could be a little of both

Re: SOG Early
I am not sorry for my response, I take it strongly the defense of friends and he is one of mine.
Very cool dude, and works hard at what we do. To have internet funny guys make fun of his picture and knowing he comes on the hide from time to time is not cool in my book.

Re: SOG Early
Im sure he was and still is a stud, he's from a generation or two before my time but I personnaly think the Vietnam guys were about the last of the days of men being men and tough as nails. The army just hasnt been the same since the pussification of the 80's and 90's. Give him my respect for his service in Nam

Pretty cool pic of "state of the art" technology back then. I believe we had progressed to an AN/PVS2 <span style="color: #3366FF">{edit: by 1981}</span> night scope (although not often available...as it 'wasn't needed') and <span style="font-style: italic">digressed</span>,IMO*, to an M21 that it could be mounted on.
* The U.S. Army was always hard pressed to get two authorities to ever agree that in order to get long range accuracy, a bolt gun was needed. Volume of fire always had to be/accompany a choice for a sniper rifle in the U.S. Army. The M21 fit that mold.
Is that an M14 or M21?
Also, FWIW, we transititon 6 mo's after I got to the 1st Rgr Bn., from camo'd jungle fatigues (std Marine issue) to standard Viet Nam era OD jungle fatigues. Exactly what your friend is wearing.
On a long shot, you might ask him if he knew John Weir. Wounded about 15 days before PCS back to the states in '68. After TET.

I meant no disrespect to your friend. I'm just another joe, it's something I hear everyday. I just thought it sounded like something you would hear now-a-days, even if your over sea's.
No doubt your friend was and is a Badass

Re: SOG Early
Neat photo. I really envy the military rulings of prior days, before priorities got misplaced. Simple things that shouldnt matter at all, began to take precedence over important things (ie, uniform wear, hair, what you do with your hands, ect)
