Still no excuse not to get it right. They didn't even do the compensator right, its too small.

It isn't wide enough.
Yea I've heard Ares weapons don't always have the best internal designs. Still it will be pretty cool.

Depending on the price I may get one. Always liked the look of the 1928 better than the M1A1. That ICS M1 Garand doesn't sound too bad either! ;D

Tom, aside from airsoft reenacting, do you do actual reenacting and living history and stuff of the like?

Yea. I attended about six reenacting events last this year. Its not airsoft and the tactical aspect is a tad silly but its still fun.

It looks like it is. I was looking at pictures of a WW2 USMC reenactment in St. Joseph MI. They do seem like a lot of fun. If I ever make it out to one of your WW2 events in MI would you allow me to attend with my USMC gear?

Cool. Sometime after Christmas I will get a musette bag as they were seen every once in a while in the pacific while not totally common.
