    Questions about CF vehicles - design and operation

    In regards to the wire and cable stowage; would it be useful/advisable/reasonable to store both on the front deck, one on top of another.

    Canadian Combat Action Badge - Now A Dead Idea (Merged Threads)

    Nothing if they're lucky... a wound stripe if they're not. I have a feeling there are going to be some very upset people over this... especially when the former CDS promised this to troops while visiting them on the battlefield. Personally, I don't need a badge to tell me where I've been.

    Information on C9 Foregrips

    I knew what he was talking about... I was just offering a alternative method to accomplish the same ends.  'cause, as far as I know, if you can't get the butt grip through the system, your next best bet is trying to order it from FN Manufacturing... They're not easy to come by. I don't think...
