Hot diggity damn!
Hopefully I can get one before Jump To Destiny.
If not available or in my budget then I still plan on packing an M1A1 Thompson.
Not completely Para authentic but close enough for now.


Thanks for the heads up!

Another update... After doing some research, I've ordered another Denison smock and am selling my current one. While the WPG smock is 'close enough' for airsoft purposes, I've noticed the serious reenactment community shuns them as not nearly authentic enough. Color and pattern off, wrong angle of pockets, etc. So out with the WPG 2nd Pattern and in with a new but 'worn in' 1st Pattern...

If anyone is interested in the WPG one, send me a PM. Otherwise, it goes up on Ebay this weekend!

many stens magazine well rotated to serve as a dust cover so dirt and crap didn't enter the weapon through that massive ejection port.

i know this. However.... is it going to be that way, or is it going to only face down?

Check out Rick's thread on it, it will indeed rotate.

I've seen other pics of the Sten AEG, it indeed rotates and loads from the left.

Don't knock $4! You can get a lot off of the cheap menu at places selling things resembling food!

All for a mis-made smock. Oh the joy. YOURE WELCOME FOR THAT.

Update... Got my new Denison from SoF in England, the classic maroon beret with Para badge and a repro Para helmet. These are just some German moleskin pants I threw on for the pics along with my Corcoran boots for a pic of the canvas anklet leggings. The short ammo boots will fit those a lot better. The helmet will soon get a compliment of netting and scrim. Its getting there...

(Looking at the stains on the Basic Pouches on the front, I realize I need to get some different ones!)
