Re: Modern Medieval Armored Combat
I say an Armet would be best for head gear with gambason and mail coif. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcThoMLvFUWvwHW82fG9_DOBUtaAhG030IFANEYq7cfaG-zp4Y2j&s Historically, that would not have been a combination that I'm aware of, definitely mail coifs were not worn with that ty...

Re: Modern Medieval Armored Combat
Hey, Blasphemous, thanks for posting about this! I had never heard of this before this thread. Watched some videos and, wow, impressive! My kids are now big fans as well and said, "Sports with swords and armor are better than ones with balls" :lol: I have to agree. Do you know if there are any grou...

Re: Modern Medieval Armored Combat
Just ring mail would defeat human teeth. Hand weapons conserve ammunition. Yes being in shape would be necessary. My personal harness is a 15th century Italian full plate setup with a sallet helmet. I'll attach a picture when I can find a good one. For normal fighting, we don't normally wear maille...

Re: Modern Medieval Armored Combat
This is more of a hobby, lol. However, I could see how it could be applied.
It does require some physical conditions and stamina, neither of which can't hurt to have.

Modern Medieval Armored Combat
Hello everyone... I have been away for a LONG time. However, I'm making a come back. I did want to make some contacts within my hobby both in the St Louis area and possibly (if we haven't already found you) within the Louisville, KY area. I do medieval combat in period correct armor, albeit there ar...

Re: So my wife bought me a EAA SAR B6P in 9mm...
Well, we figured out today one of the reasons why I can't hit shit, the pistol is hitting about a foot low at just 10 yards. I put a hundred rounds through it at my buddy's place today and had trouble from the git-go. It wasn't until after I'd shot well with his .45 and .38 that we really started l...

Re: Pics of XM855 and XM193 groups at 100 yards...sadness en
Practice with what you buy. If I buy something in bulk (which I do most of the time), I have my rifle doped for that ammo. Generally, the settings will be good for the entire run, but variances may occur. As long as you are doing everything right as a shooter, you can dial in your shot group. Try no...

Re: Cheap, light weight, compact shoes for your BOB
I have spent a lot of years in the military and I think these things would be PERFECT for members in the field. I normally pack a pair of cheap flip flops (shower shoes) for something to wear after a long road march or for when I need to get up in the middle of the night to take care of bodily funct...

Re: So my wife bought me a EAA SAR B6P in 9mm...
I have had a B6P for a while, have maybe 300 rounds through it, and I'll share my thoughts. Initial Reaction: I bought the gun on a whim, knew nothing about it. I just saw it online, it was cheap and I wanted a 9mm full size, this firearm looked good for me. When it arrived, I liked the feel of the ...

Re: Japanese Mini-Truck?
what is the advantage of a mini-truck over a UTV? it looks to me like a gator, of bobcat would do the same and more, for around the same price. what am I missing? It looks as if Bulldog Offroad no longer sells them. This vendor is now calling them "ATV Mini-trucks" http://www.offroaders.com/atv/ATV...

Re: M756a2 soon to be an ATRV
Nice looking truck! I have an NA model as well, but I'll be doing a turbo retrofit for the increased power. Mine has been put through MANY trials off road and on trails. I've pretty much tested every limit of the truck. Last time out, I broke my air-pack and lost my front brakes. The battery and too...

I still go every year. Dogs in general are fine, but it's worth telling you that there are A LOT of people packed into this thing. There are some folks running around, screaming, and others with children. Just to make you aware. As far as parking, it's kind of a free-for-all. The Midtown Mall on Bax...

They have been rotated every 10k and kept properly inflated. Anyone have that experience with tires? If they are an aggressive mud terrain tire, I...

If I was closer, I'd take that engine off of your hands. It'd be a hell of an upgrade over the 318 that's in my Dodge now.

Good to see that you're upgrading. That D44HD will take a beating with anything 40" or less and a smart skinny pedal.

Re: The Cinder Block Loses a Wheel (and hub) PICS ON P15
You can fix it for less than $400 if you're resourceful... and that's for a fast find. You can probably score a disc brake Dana 44 front for $100 with some searching around. Drive-shaft won't be hard to piece together and brake lines should swap. Steering should be a bolt in, at worst you'd have to ...

Re: Large bumpers
Just slapping on a big bumper is probably going to be overkill. You need something appropriately sized for your vehicle and application. A Jeep Wrangler doesn't need a bumper as larger as say a Ford F350. Other factors come into play like; do you plan on mounting a winch, will it double as a recover...

Re: "The Cinder Block" (64 Jeep Gladiator) Now with ZS logos
My personal opinion, but I am NOT a fan of internal transmission coolers. I prefer a properly sized remote/external cooler.
