Re: cj750 outfit, uk laws

So basically there is no legal way to ride a cj750 combo on the road, unless it was registered in the uk before 1981. :evil:

Well that answers that question!

cj750 outfit, uk laws

Is there any way of getting around the UK law that any outfit registered (not manufactured) after 1981 cannot have a RHS sidecar? Also I've been told that having an oufit registered as a tricycle is illegal, and it should be registered a motorcycle with sidecar fitted. Anyone shed any light on this?...

There was a site i used to have a link too that had all sort of dimensions and measurements for the various boxes of ammo, shells, mines etc. I think it was a french site as far as i remember.

Does anyone have the link to it? Many thanks n much appreciated for any help given :)

What a kompanie consisted of?

Just afew questions :) What exactly did a waffen SS infantry kompanie consist of? How many men, how many different jobs within it? Did it have organic fire support ie a mortars or recon? Going by the british example, a company is made up of 3 platoons, each platoon is 3 sections, what would be the g...

Re: Repro artillery rucksack

Was it actually specific to the artillery troops or was it used by anyone and everyone? Seems quite a useful piece of kit, way more room than an A-frame yet more practical than a tornister or full sized rucksack.

Re: Camouflage caps used by Army

Most of the fieldmade camo uniforms and caps i have seen have all been worn by officers and NCOs, so if yer a shutze/grenadier i'd stay away from field made camo gear! Stick to an m40 or m43 (depending on what you do.)

Re: Jakboots made by STURM

Personally i have went with post war jackboots (leather soled hobnailed etc) the only difference is the back seem does not go all the way down to the heel, a small un-noticed price to pay for an excellent pair of boots that are military made, they don't just fall apart like repro boots that are glue...

Re: Epic Militaria

They were always extremely fast in shipping with me even in with the old management. They manage to get stuff to NI within 3 days which most uk vendors cant seem to do (Northern militaria is an exception, tunic received very quickly!) , their p&p rate is very good as well (not like SOF lol). You...
