    Thirft Store Body Armor

    As you know, I'm renovating the house and I went to Goodwill to get rid of crap. While there I see this beat up Blackhawk Recon Chest Rig. It's clearly missing parts. But for $5 you can't beat it.

    So I buy and and get an old H-Harness from Vietnam era and rig it with an old Level IV plate lying around.

    I now have a new rig to keep in my truck.





    Here's my truck rifle. It was built out of spare parts sitting in a box.



    Yes, that is a bent nail in place of the FSB gas tube pin. It is solid and works.

    I'm smiling at what (armaments) you carry in your truck; mine tends to be filled with ropes winches and other 4WD recovery gear more often

    I Hope you filled out the bloody hot work permit before you sparked up that bloody welder.

    Get mum to sign off on the three hour fire watch after your finished.

    And no grinder allowed.

    SSBN or SSN? If it is a SSBN, I can go for a Trident I.
