As usual a out standing collection,and as others have said well mounted and displayed. 

I know, I know, ask me teacher!

Well I got lucky I picked up a FN FAL Portuguese's from a sight called The Collectors Site.No luck with the AR 10 but I did pick up a G3 witch also a battle rifle that the Portuguese's also use.I am still looking for field gear and webbing help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks octave.

Come on guys nobody has any ideas on how I might put this to-gather.No insight to help me?Comments are welcomed.

Hello I am trying to put together a display of a Portuguese soldier from the Angola Mozambique time frame,I have the uniform and some webbing although I could use more field gear.My main problem is the rifle,I have a AR 10 but its Sudanese.I would prefer a Portuguese FN how hard are these to come by?Any help with field gear or the rifle would be appreciated.

Was it ever put into use or was it discarded as not practial?

I would be intrested in the three mag system and its workings.

Very Nice James,I look forword to seeing the combat version.

Very nice collection of classic handguns.

Unfortunetly I do not own a camera, I will try to get a friend of mine to take some pictures.

How rare are Second Model AK-47?The reason I ask is I have one that was built in 1954 but I have not seen any others out there,was I just lucky to get this one?

I have hunted deer with my Madsen.

Yes you are right they were not worn do not know what I was thinking, would like nice thoe?kitted?out?with the Sam Browne outfit.

Cheers Chris.

Nery nice James,

Are you going to put it on a mannequin with the stable belt&bucke?

Cheers Chris.

I look forward to seeing your next model.

Very nice Eric,

Have you thought of doing a Russian Trooper from the Afgan period?

Cheers Octave.

What your uncle had was a Foreign Service Model

Colt 1911 British RAF contract S/N W 91,00 to W110696

Jan 22 1918 to April 28 1919

Approx 10,000 pistols were shipped to the Royal Air Force.

Outstanding collection of Rhodesian headgear, thanks for sharing!

Thanks to James and Chris for putting anouther urban myth to rest, as to the South African FN if anyone can point me in the direction of one I would appreciate it.

I am in the putting the final touchs on a South African Bush trooper and all I need now is the South African FN to make it complete.

Cheers

Chris.

Hi James,

I ?read that the South African Special Forces removed all traces?of?orgin?and?serial?numbers?on?some?of?there?FN?rifles?thats?what?I?was?t

alking?about.

I believe that the Selous Scouts like members of the South African Special Forces also carried sanitized firearms.And yes this is your Manitoba connection.

Cheers C.O.S.

Looks great James, I know where you can get a AK for him if your so inclined.

Did the Paras in Italy also use this device?

Quite intresting at first I thought it was a model with a built in hammer shroud, but reading futher down I relised I was wrong. Thanks for the picture always nice to see something different.

Thanks Eric, Will check it out.
