Saw a guy in one of these that was distressed and it looked FANTASTIC.

Here is an article on Indy guns, with a few very familiar photos. Gee, I wonder where he did his research for this article... :-k :- https://www.rockislandauction.com/riac-blog/indiana-jones-guns?utm_source=Rock+Island+Auction+News&utm_campaign=fb4fa5b04a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_06_02&utm_medium...

Heard from Dave and he said he would check his PM’s, so let me know if you haven’t heard from him in the next day or two and I’ll ping him again.

Regards! M

Houston, we have contact. Thanks!

Can you tell I've been away a while M? Thanks for the assist.

ChrisMD

Well, Hello All, It has been a LLLOOOOONNNNNGGGG time since I walked through this door. Thank you, :M: for reaching out to me and making me aware of this recent activity here. I have been out of hat making for many years, now. I don't even care to rehash all the changes in life since then. However,...

Finally got some quasi Indy boots again. They’re very comfortable and before the Pecard’s treatment they looked more like WW2 Boondockers. They’re “Worx” brand by Red Wings. Very aggressive tread that I comfortable hiking in too. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210628/f863d262e579852695e56bf4f0ac...

Speaking from working in a manufacturing facility currently, Penman is correct. Even with stuff reopening, there are massive slowdowns on all types of things. Right now international is the worst just due to covid related issues and restrictions. I work in optics, so it could be different but trying...

I FINALLY replaced the spring and plunger in the frame. After 5 years owning it I’ll be shooting it for the first time here soon. Walther P38 numbers matching (minus a plunger, spring, and magazine). No import marks. For the occasion I dug around in my “Indy stuff pile” and pulled out the helmet. If...

ChrisMD

I don't see a price point on this, Chris. :-k Regards! Michaelson DOH! I thought I forgot something. There are a bunch on gunbroker with a "Buy It Now" of $489.99. Add shipping and transfer fees and still WAY under a Browning or similar old war horse. I am having a really hard time saying...

If you ever make your way out to the Northern part of CO I'm happy to take you shooting!

ChrisMD

Of the holsters I personally own I would say makeitjones. However I also want a Magnoli, since everything he makes seems to be top notch!

ChrisMD

Hey Everyone! Long time no post! I couldn't find anything on this during my cursory search of the boards. In case anyone is looking for a Hi Power clone that won't break the bank check out the TISAS Regent BR9. From what I've found, these could be a great shooter and "close-enough" Indy gu...

ChrisMD

Thanks for the tip on the really tight ones. I collect a lot of military surplus rifles and pistols. I have been lucky so far that the holsters just needed some good leather conditioner to restore or if unused to soften up to allow the firearm to fit. May not be correct but every time I handle them...

ChrisMD

Hey Everyone! I know I'm a ghost lately, but I wanted to share this with you in case any of you run into a similar issue. I HEAVILY collect military surplus items, in addition to Indygear. The 1911 holsters used in Vietnam are basically the same as in WW2 (as seen in Cystal Skull opening) except the...

ChrisMD

Hey all, Boy it feels good to be back around these parts! I saw this and thought maybe someone would enjoy it. This old Webley holster would be a nice stand-in for a Raiders holster if we are talking 'close enough', and it probably has the 'old leather' smell! That alone is worth it! ;) https://www....

ChrisMD

Indy (my dog) has been going through some health issues, so I decided we’d go explore and relax a little and try to have some fun. Here is my Garrison from 2013 in the wild where it belongs! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181104/7a2078a1d3b217629b01c349a4b12b35.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.c...

ChrisMD

After what happened in LC, you think Indy would buy a German-made anything? :P Nice gun, though, for sure. Certainly. After he used that P-38 on the tank he looked down at it mighty impressed. Germany also issued Hi Powers (albeit in smaller numbers) that were made in Nazi occupied Belgium. I think...

ChrisMD

I think Indy would appreciate the reliability and simplicity of a classic West German manufactured Sig P226.

Update, hat arrived yesterday. But it got beat up badly in shipping, including something weird with the sweatband. David is just as puzzled as I am. Hat is going back to him for repair. I'll post pictures after I get it back from him. ](*,) No doubt he will take care of you. He's a real stand up gu...

I can't remember if some of the Cruciform Sword guys carried these or not, but I thought I'd share anyway- my dad got this Beretta M38 9mm subgun (de miller, dummy receiver) the other day- kinda cool https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170223/57f5456d46e9b08ce8fb5bba5a771bd5.jpg Sent from my iPhone ...

No worries Jeff. I forgot I had it in the same post as wrong sized pics until I saw the mention again. Ha. Brian does awesome work as well as makeitjones. Both better than me. I only started tinkering with leather a little more than a year ago. It's addicting. You may be new at it but from what I'v...

Couldn't agree more! I have one from Crease N Corral and it's great.

ChrisMD

Looking where I can get SA last crusade bag strap and gun belt and holster I HIGHLY recommend Make It Jones on this forum. He has made me a bag strap, a belt, and a holster in the past and all are not only screen accurate, but real world durable. https://sites.google.com/site/makeitjones/" onc...

Nice! Do people panic when it rains there? When we get snow it's no big deal but a heavy downpour will freak people out and they instantly drive like it's the end of the world. We get most of our moisture from snow. I just consider it to be even better hat weather.

ChrisMD

So you are saying I SHOULDN'T be excited to receive it? The seller told me it was signed by the real Indiana Jones....so I bought it. He knocked 5 bucks off so I figured I had to jump on it. Michaelson told me it was a bargain.

ChrisMD

Looks great!

ChrisMD

I just spoke with Jamie at American Tactical and have been put on the list for the next shipment of German made MP40's. The semi auto pistol version with plans to eventually SBR. (Dont worry, I'll say "dont call me junior!" After I shoot it.) I'll post a link later.

ChrisMD

I have a Wested Novapelle in a Raiders pattern I got from a member here. It is a great jacket. It really feels like it is quality and hefty. All of the Wested's I have handled have felt that way. Then again so do my Wings jackets and my Magnoli. Hard to go wrong honestly! I am a proponent of a reali...

Very nice! I have a German K98 "DOU43". It was my first rifle I ever purchased. They are fun shooters! Mine is a Russian capture so most of the markings are ground off and it has Russian electro stencil marks on it but that all adds to the history I guess!

ChrisMD

It's actually very easy to find around here. Always at gun shows, and a few shops around here are really good at keeping the older calibers in stock. In fact when I stopped in one on my way into town they probably 5 different kinds from huntin 303 to surplus. They even keep the myriad of old "w...

Went out to shoot some of my surplus rifle collection today and decided to bring the ole Enfield for some Temple of Doom Fun. It was the only Brit out there but it always holds its own! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170109/7b16d221603f4e8aa2f953bee476c5c6.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2017...

Why not? Wind chill of 5 below zero here, and I'm wearing a sweater and scarf under my USW's Indy jacket and completely comfortable. :TOH: Keep in mind, leather is a wind breaker and was NEVER intended to insulate for warmth, so layering is perfect under an Indy jacket.

I would say Magnoli and Wested. I have a Wested Novapelle that is "too big" to be SA but GREAT for real life use. In fact I'm gonna wear it today. Thanks for reminding me! They are a great tool in winter if layered over a sweatshirt. It is long and baggy so it helps keep warmth in and wind...

Myself and good friend we call the "Squatch" at our company Christmas party. My Garrison looks a bit misshaped after being knocked around next to me all night. No places ever have a good spot to put a hat!
