I will put my German k98 in the car so if you don't find a gun you can use it. We will just say you lost yours when the glider crashed and we are go good at killen Nazis that there were hundreds laying at our feet.

Shawn Kesterke favebook messaged me and he said that he would lend my dad a grand. i'm still in need of a weapon. i'm up for using other things. i'll buy the ammo for other weapons if need be. if someone's going to give me a bolt action rifle then can someone bring stripper clips because i hated feeding the individual rounds at lowel. all i'm asking is if it's not gonna be a grand can u bring the clips and the bag or something i may need for it.

I don't wear a 10 or 11. Like i said boots are the hardest thing to loan out because it seams that everyone is a different size. If you cant get the boots for your dad are you going to still come?

i just found out that the boots i checked to see what size my dad wears were big on him so the boot size is 10. and we don't have the money right now to be buying my dad boots so if we could barrow ANYTHING size 10 please let us know. if my dad likes this then he'll start investing but before that he wants to barrow until he knows if he likes this or not.

I do not have ammo for my Carbine and Thompson. I will have to use my Garand as my gun for the event. The tripod broke for the 30 cal at the last event. The only gun I have they could use is a german K98 that they may be able to get ammo for at the event.

Here is a couple of boot options.
http://www.atthefront.com/ Roughout Service Shoe $110 Combat Service Boots $125 Paratrooper Boots $125 ATF has a deal where you can buy 2 pairs of boots for $195 so you could get a pair of rough outs,double buckles or jumpboots
little cheaper Rough outs don't know how well they are made but the have 11s

Boots are one of the hardest things to loan out because it seams everyone wears a different size. Id Try to buy him a pair or buy you a 2nd pair and have him wear thick socks.
24 rounds wont last you to long at a tactical with 2 of you using them. I would order some more. What sucks about loaning out rifles is the guy who loaned it out has to clean.
IF your have hearing problems pick up some ear plugs no one will say anything about them.

i have 3 Em Blocks. as for boots i have 1 pair (jump boots) that i put leggings on when i need to.
I'm planing on wearing my gear and 43s. if we could get Service shoes or Roughouts for him he could wear my leggings. but he can use my wools and 41 jacket.
I'd like not to use the MG as much as possible due to i already have hearing problems and I'd like to move around. plus i could barely pull back the lever to get the top open last time.

thats true they will make you look like a german but in this one photo book i have on the 82nd you see a lot of photos of the guys usin them so I may pick up a set.
my father and i are going as long as we can get that stuff i asked about
Boots = 11 webbing helmet weapon for the both of us
I think we should be able to put together a helmet and webbing, but the boots will be tough.
If you have 2 pairs of boots your dad can just put on some extra socks to help them fit.
As far as weapons go....do you have any blanks?
I was talking to Scott and I said anyone who uses the .30 cal needs to start paying for rounds because its not fair that whoever uses it at events....me included get to blow off his rounds at his cost.
So if you have blanks let us know....if not we might be able to sell some depending on what weapon we have available.
