Looks like but that's his AGM weathered- his showing the before and after.

This is the real Shoei and AGM

[Boche]

Oops, yeah, it's not a Shoei, sorry about the confusion. I shoulda mentioned it in the first post.

Yupper!


CrackShot, where'd you get the kurz patrone, or is it something else?

[CrackShot 07137]

Oh, its the Shoei Stg44 replica with Kurz Patrone- Not AEG version.

[Boche]

ahh, I see......nice!

[aZn_triXta07]

Isn't the shoei a classic?

[sortie39]

shoei actually made two types of mp44,one is AEG,and the other is a model-gun by firing blank caps.
seems there is a cap mp44 above.

Memel, who or where were the white stg44 pouches used? Kind of caught my eye and was curious.

I got those repro pouches from MilitaryTour.com a few years ago, but they came in a weird colour(blu-ish, if I recall correctly) , something that I'd never seen before with real pouches from WW2. So, I tried my hand at fading them with a diluted bleach mixture. I dunked them in and before I could count to two they were a light grey, it was real fast (too much bleach, haha).

They're a little too light for my taste, but alot better than the original colour.

Perhaps a darker grey dye job is in order?

Maybe, how could you dye it without dying or damaging the leather though?

[Donster]

glad to know ill have that guarding my back while i use my Kar98k when i finally get my WWII kit together and come to a game with you guys

[Donster]

i forgot to add, i love the weathering look on your gun memel! looks amazing. i almost decided to buy one, but i am instead going to go with an M4. i am still holding out for my favourite WWII gun of all time: G43. If they make an all wood/metal version of that, its as good as sold to me. i will upgrade that to rival my M14 and then i can play WWII all year round.
Winter/Fall = G43
Spring/Summer = Kar98k

Good question.....I'd have to try it and see what happens, haha.

Donster, it looks like we're going to have an excellent season of WW2 airsoft, get your shit together quickly and join us. And don't feel your equipment has to be squared away 100% before you come out to a game. I'm missing lots of bits and pieces and so are others, but we still attend games. Plus, most of us have extra pieces to lend (like in your case, an Mp40, incase you get into a CQB pickle with that k98, haha).
