local gun show outing

[Ryan]

Love all the kit on it, looks awesome.
.30 cal too is unusual to my eyes. Was this done to many kiwi carriers?

[Lew Skelton]

Hi Ryan, .30 - .50 cals were pretty common from photos I have found of carriers in use by NZ Div Cav, especially in Italy. Although my carrier is LP2A and never left NZ I am attempting to replicate one of these photos from Italy

Hi Lew,

Looking real good.

Where was the gun show?

[Ryan]

Hi lew,
Accessorizing is the most fun part I believe. Carrier once again looks great. One with a .50 cal would be something to see.
Is that a camoflaged blitz in the background too?

[Lynn Eades]

Hi Lew. Number plate ex amphibious Jeep, 30 cal, ex Afganistan, Over width permit ex army
She is looking really good! Good effort soldier!

I've got a Vickers replica now for the LP2, so we will make a pair for Wings over Wairarapa!

cheers Rob, here are a couple of photos from a few months back, got the Vickers away being fitted for gas firing. We could both go Vickers equipped to Masterton. I have heard there's someone we both know in the deepest south making a Vickers/30 cal also..... just need Alex to get a wriggle on and then there would be 3 of us.
