WEAPON SYSTEMS
______________________________________________
Mark Kubes from Florida - this guy has everything you could ever need for your Mosin-Nagant weapon system. Remember Tovarichi - if you want to buy any of the pressure bearing parts - i.e the bolt-head and extractor, spring, firing-pin, receiver, and barrel - YOU MUST HAVE A CURRENT SECTION 1 FIREARMS CERTIFICATE FIRST.

Something like a new handguard or a cleaning rod will be fine for your deack, but always check with your unit leader or other knowlegeable person before making any purchases.

The Warsaw Pact Forces Group looks very interesting, and there's a detachment in my area, but I can't find any way to contact them directly, does anyone know a way to get in touch with the 1st Waltham Abbey Front or any other of the groups?

Comrade Polski-privet,
This Command is Controlling Rezident for WPFG Centre with responciblities to WPFG Kent Military District.
If you PM this Rezident, your defending of 50 years of World Peace in the face of Reactionary, Imperialistic Oppression can be supported inline with the Quotas of Norms laid down by Moscow Centre.

I Serve the Soviet Union!.

Urrah!!.

Anybody know if [i][i]The Russian Grunt [/i]is any good as a supplier?

Ages ago got a ushanka off him. When it arrived it went straight into the bin. Worst bit of kit I've ever been sold!
