Well, I given allot of thought to what everyone has said, and I think I'm going to go with what Shiftsup recommended in the first place. Thanks B@3kR, leecas and Steathee for your very good suggestions. I'm going to go with the pants pocket, because according to my books, many tommy gunners in the fssf carried their mags there, and preferred to use a Garand cartridge belt, as opposed to the pistol belt. ( I'm not sure what they would have kept in the belt, mind you.) Those guys basically had the pick of any equipment they wanted, so they must had gone that way for a reason. ( bonus, I save $30-$60)
My FSSF impression is a bit of a stretch, because I'm using a 1942 para jump suit as the base. There are many pictures of Gen Fredricks in one, and I'm sure that there was many an opportunities to "liberate" them from the 82nd at anzio. I went this way for 3 reasons. 1 smokin deal. 2. If they do the "jump into destiny event out here again, I'm in. 3. every body seems to be out of mountain pants right now. ( I never could find a Parka). I figure that as the Chinese knock off stuff wares out, I replace it with the good stuff
Thanks Again,
RG
