If you're around Chicago, Haberdash recently got a new shipment of Alden 403's in. They'll probably be gone by the end of October, so hurry if you're interested. I bought the only pair of 11.5 403's they got and absolutely love them. Expensive? Sure. But in Alden's defense it's a quality boot, made ...

I had to give this a try myself. Everything pops back perfectly into place! I think it popped one of the stitches holding the ribbon on, though. Not sure. This hat is around two years old and has logged over 30,000 miles of travel and several months in the deserts of the Middle East with me. http://...

Indiana

I received my June 07 nearly two years ago in June 08. Must have been a lot of hat orders after mine.

Indiana

Looks good! My first Wested goat is nearly 6 years old now, but still in great shape even though I wear it most every day in the winter. Only problem is my arms have lengthened a bit since then and the sleeves are a bit short. I stopped by Wested back in January and had Peter measure me for a new on...

Indiana

Are there any markings on the barrel? Perhaps if you loosed the bayonet lug and slide it forward they may be there, if there are none visible.

Indiana

Yup, she's an Underwood. Good deal, I still don't have to buy another carbine to match Indy's! I've got an Underwood, too!

Indiana

By removing the sear I'm going to assume he meant it was a registered Class III M2 trigger group which would consist of all the full auto parts. My guess is that the prop guys just took an M1 carbine from the prop room and put the trigger group in it. The replaced the flat bolt with a round one to k...

Indiana

Looking at the pictures a 2 is visible where the serial number is. Considering it is pushed all the way to the side of the receiver I believe it would make it a 7 digit serial number, therefore putting it into the 2-million range. Inland, Underwood, and Standard Products all made large numbers of ca...

Indiana

No waves here, just trying to figure this thing out.

You agree it's an M2 stock though? I think that's pretty obvious. Being an M2 stock, it never could have been a high wood, hence the spot you're seeing is just from general roughness and abuse to the stock--not from being cut down.

Indiana

Hm, interesting. This carbine has a push button safety.

Indiana

Take a look at these three photos. They clearly show no markings on the barrel and that the stock is an M2. The "hump" on the lower part of the stock wasn't to accept any full auto parts, it simply made the stock stronger to handle the full auto fire. The only changes to the internal cut o...

Indiana

Would you mind revealing who the manufacturer of this particular carbine is? The rear sight will obscure it, but if you use a light and look from the side you will be able to read it. It could be a Winchester, or at least the barrel could be. I see no barrel markings. WRA's barrel marks are obscure...

PLEASE don't touch that 1911. It's too pretty as is.

Man, what a wait for these hats! I ordered mine in June of 2007 and received it in June of 2008!

It's worth the wait, trust me. Though I'm afriad mine must return for a new sweatband from an error made back when it was made. I just never took the time to return it.

Indiana

Mr. Michaelson would be correct there. Steve's prices did rise to their current levels on May 22.

Indiana

Hi! I was there in June 2008 and it was a fantastic trip. The people are incredibly friendly. While many of them do not agree with American politics or religion, they are more than friendly to the tourists as they know they are there simply to visit their country and not to talk politics, etc. I was...

Indiana

Thought I would share a picture of my AB on a Sphinx at Karnak while I was in Egypt in June 2008. I received the AB in late May 08.

Are you salivating yet?

Indiana

I agree with Rab. Lee's a great guy to talk with.

Indiana

If it really is fur felt, give it a try. I've seen some fur felt DP's look decent after a good makeover.

Indiana

Doesn't look like much. But it looks more than Jrzjoe's smorgasboard of junk.

A good starter whip, but if it has no real guts (bolster, belly) then it won't do much but look good.

Indiana

Well, I am HAPPY to say that my AB arrived today--June 13! It's wonderful.

Indiana

Try a google search. :idea:

Indiana

If you are getting a job just to buy a $40 whip, you may want to just go ahead and save a little more and get an IOAB or Caicedo. They cost a little more, yes, but with your summer job you should be able to save up the money rather quickly.

Indiana

Oh my goodness. This is absolutely shocking news. I spoke with Noel a few times and, as everyone else has said, he was always a very nice, professional, and helpful man. He will be terribly missed.

Indiana

Do some reading and research on the IndyGear main page.

Indiana

Do a search. This is the Noble Collection whip.

Indiana

Jrzjoe whips are mostly for looks only. And they really don't look much either. His whips do not look to have much to them. A good whip has a couple of bolsters (which is basically a whip inside the whip). You are not going to get a good whip that you can swing on and not ruin it. The simple fact is...

Indiana

Cool! Where'd he sign it?

Indiana

A swivel handle whip is a good place to start. I was able to get the basic cracks down on a swivel handle whip. And you can find them for less than the one from Duluth, if you search a little.

Indiana

Don't waste your money. I doubt you could even really get that thing to crack. Just save some more and get a Caicedo.

Indiana

I like the design. Bulldog tough... are you a Butler University Alumni?

I'm headed there this fall.

Indiana

I agree. A friend of mine had a Keppler for a while and I loved the thing. Pity his was too small for me...

Indiana

That'd be 1942, bink. MKVII's did not go into production until 1941. :wink: From the IndyGear bag page: Interestingly enough, this bag actually did not exist at the time the first three Indiana Jones movies were supposed to take place, given that manufacturing of the MkVII did not start until 1941. ...

Lawn, hay field, woods... basically any grassy area with some overhead clearance.

You saw those at the sporting goods store because there is a flood of Carbines being brought back into the country right now. Importers and the CMP are really getting a lot of Carbines. $1000 is ridiculous for the most part, at current prices. If it was a rare maker or in great shape, that'd be a be...

Indiana

I love seeing photos of the Wested shop. I picked my jacket out when I was there in 2005. A great place to visit!

Indiana

If you would do a little searching you would find all sorts of information on this. Do a little digging and you'll find everything you need, instead of just starting a new thread everytime you have a question.

Indiana

Herbert Johnson fedoras were used in LC and ToD as well.

Indiana

Wow! That's a lot of email. Take your time Steve, we'll all wait for you. No rush here.

Indiana

That is a question you would have to ask Steve or Marc.

Indiana

Search and you will find what you seek.

Indiana

Dovchenko did for sure. He ran out of ammo while shooting at Indy in the warehouse and threw it on the ground.

All AB's have their logo on them. Only the film hats had their liners changed out for white ones.

That's an interesting article. And Frank House is one of the premiere muzzleloader builders in the nation. I may have to check this shop out and put something together for the main site when I have some time this summer. Lexington is not that far away. Too bad Indy didn't shoot those guns in the mov...

The liners in the film hats had nothing on them. They were white, but heavily aged.

I haven't handled many whips, but compared to Agent5's Morgan that I held back in 2005 it seems lighter, but I think that was longer than 8 foot too. Mine is an 8 footer, but the weight seems sufficient to me. It cracks wonderfully. The only thing I can tell that might be wierd on mine is the fall l...

Indiana

Yup, I'm still waiting on a June 07 order too.

Steve's been pretty sick this past week, but once he gets better I think we are going to see a slew of June hats go out.

Indiana

If you don't want to get into the higher end roohide whips, check out Gus Caicedo's whips. They are fantastic whips. I absolutely love mine and Gus is a great guy to work with.

That is a gorgeous jacket! I'm a thinking it is going to soon be time for another Wested. I love my Wested goat, but all of the new jackets he is pumping out over there look fantastic!
