  • LBV-88 – My customised take

    LBV-88 – My customised take

    My Youtube channel “officially” kicked-off with the release of the ALICE gear setup video years ago. I used that setup for a long time. This was mainly due to my interest in Ranger units during the 1980s and early 1990s. Before this I was using the LBV-88 that I had modified to suit my needs.…

  • Slings – What I use and why

    Slings – What I use and why

    For a while now I have wanted to do a short post about the slings that I primarily use. You might have noticed that I have a certain trend with slings on my replicas; two-point. There are a few reasons why I use two point slings. I have tried one-point and three-point slings as well…

    The M653 Ranger carbine

    The third and final part of this three part series takes us back to the early 1980’s and especially Operation Urgent Fury, the invasion of Grenada in 1983.

  • The Lawmaker – Berget BAVS launcher

    I have made yet another video for the YouTube channel. This time I am talking a bit more about the LAW launcher that I use at Berget games. It is an inert LAW which has been fitted with the Berget Anti-Vehicle System, or BAVS. It is custom made by Berget Events and it functions really…

  • M653 and M727 carbines

    Earlier this week I uploaded a new video to my Youtube channel. On the video I am talking about my two AEGs that I have, the M653 and the M727. It is not an in depth video about the two different carbines but rather an overview of them. I do point out the most obvious…

  • New video – ALICE setup

    Yesterday I uploaded a new video to the Youtube channel. I’m talking a little about the current ALICE setup that I run and the modifications that I have done to it. A lot of the modifications, if not all, are taken from images, videos and books that I have read about old school gear that…
