I'll be going. Probably as a re-enactor doing the NLF (aka Vietcong)

 

Do you go with Rolling Thunder or just on your own?

Considering its Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria:

 

"Im sorry I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am"

That could be made by using the M14 E2 conversion kit and a few minor cosmetic bolt-ons.

I've seen an airsoft version of the B.A.R before.

 

I think it was a project rifle though.

JAC made one, its a classic airsoft style, with a gas tank etc.

Pretty nice stuff, dont mean to ###### on your parade, but the helmet covers a later version and didnt really appear in vietnam. Go for the Mitchell pattern (Frog and leaf)

Cheers, most of it came from www.sofmilitary.co.uk and www.fngsupplies.co.uk, due to the rarity of a few items i had to buy repros, ie the canteen covers and boots. Also bought a repro 3rd pattern jungle suit as i wanted a new set rather than used ones. That lot didnt come cheap, but its cheaper than a modern US loadout.
