The poster above you (backspasm) does it if I remember correctly.
I myself do the 101st, but ive been planning to get british/canadian stuff for a while now but I always end up getting something else.

That is what I will be doing. I'm using one of the clear shell ejecting rifles here:

And will be fitting the mechanics of it into an enfield stock and working with it from there. Hopefully it works out!

hope that goes well for you, put some pics up when your done. Since im of scottish descent a canadian highland unit loadout would be very cool, not that american or german loadouts are bad just being canadian I would try for canadian loadout. This thread has got me thinkng about putting a ww2 kit together.

What website are you guys using for gear? I am looking for a couple mag pouchs for the mp40 and a german bread box.

I have found "Spearhead-Militaria" on ebay. They have helmets and camo.

I kind of took the easy way for WWII Canadian. First Special Service Force. It's a mix of Canadians and Americans and they all used american gear and weapons. Almost done my loadout. Waiting on one more package and then I'll have some sewing to do. And some pictures to take.

"At The Front" and "What Price Glory" should have what you need.

if you guys ever need some WW2 and are in GTA, check out surplus central, they had a whole bunch of Pat.37 a while ago.

Thats not a dumb question at all.
Some people in the states made some pretty decent looking toys out of VSr-10's at an affordable price.
There is an SMLE and No.4

There is a kit, but i have no idea where to get it.
Drum mags existed a long time ago but I havent seen them in a long time.

but the lack of a lee enfield kinda set me off from that

plus id probly be a little bit outgunned

plus i have no idea what i would need in the first place in terms of gear lol

We could have been an awesome team =D

I had an EMT sent out to get a nice Kar98, seller sold it to someone who sent an EMT 2 mins before me without even PMing and confirming with the seller first... I'm still a bit sore about that... but it was a very preassured sales situation, so I can't entirely blame em. Woulda been nice though.

Hmmm, Kar 98 dreams, I had a Tanaka on order from 007 a long time ago, 6 months later, nothing and then his shipment got snaked. Mine wasn't ordered yet so I got my money back, but I'd much rather have my Kar 98. Settled on a Marushin MP40 which is alright too.
