Thanks for the NSN's but they haven't panned out. Did we just buy these friggin things on a credit card and they were never entered in the supply system ? An officer at my unit used one last summer at Gagetown so I know the Forces has them. I'm confused  ??? Thanks again all, Craig

Posted this in the Artillery Forum, no luck. I need the NSN for the AN/PVS-6 MELIOS laser rangefinder. I tried the DIN but no luck. Help me out Loggies  ;D TIA Craig

There was also an entrenching tool carrier. Also a frog for the FN C-1 bayonet. Craig

You cannot get a Prohibited endorsement on your PAL. If you didn't own a Prohibited 12(X) firearm at the time of the Prohibition Order, too bad. Craig

I ordered a few pouches from Drop Zone. 40mm Long Grenade Pouch in Digi Woodland -- Nice pouch, well constructed. Fits Magellan GPS 315 and Motorola T7100 radios very well ...... might even fit 40mm long grenades  :P Compass Pouch in Digi Woodland -- Another nice build, fits the issue Suunto...

A 106 RR would look pretty cool on my balcony  8) ......... and its not even a firearm according to Canadian law , no PAL required  ;D Craig

The LG1 is not well regarded by the gunners serving them. Stuff  breaks too easy on them. Not sure what the situation is at 1 and 2 Horse, but AFAIK 5 RALC has 1 bty of LG1, 1 of mortars and 1 of C2's ( The nonconvertible C1's) plus they frequently borrow C3's from the Militia batteries( 2 fr...

Roger that  :) Craig

Kevin , Canadian 7.62 NATO was Ball, C21 , though I have an old bandolier marked Ball, C21A1 . I shot ok with the C1 but I shoot much better with the C7. The old SMG was a handy little weapon but I'm a lefty so I was never real good with one. Someone mentioned how tough it was, I'll have to...

I don't think there's any bulk 7.92 around right now, you could try gunshows. Craig

Vest on the right looks Canadian to me. You must mean the one on the left ? Craig

Lots of nasty places in Canada to house inmates. For example, Hans Island. No guards needed, no fences/walls needed . Just have some food parachute dropped by a "sovereignty patrol " aircraft every month or so.  ;D If that's too cold , I'm sure the French would lease us Devil's Island for $1...

There is at least 1 Cadet Corps affiliated to an Arty Regt. in Quebec. Cadet Corps 2719 , to the 2nd Field Regiment , RCA. The CC is co-located with 2RCA. We used to have the Army Cadet corps in Lachute, QC also , but that changed a few years ago. Craig

Positive feedback for JASO. I bought a few things from him, all was as stated and the deal went like clockwork at his end , had a minor screw up with the shipping from _my_ end , but all ended well. I should have posted this 2 weeks ago but was over occupied by the holidays. Thanks again for...

Converge. We'll try to put all the rounds in the same crater  ;) Excellent advice. Craig

Other countries artillery may not use the same procedures as Canada does. In the CF the supported arms do not call a arty CP direct, the call for fire is sent to the FOO that is attached to the supported arm. I believe the "higher" Bomber is referring to is the FOO. The FOO is in direct...

I remember the MILLAV (Militia Light Armoured Vehicle, now know as Bison) , those things we had for all of 1 year before they disappeared ? Don't mention MILLAV in mixed company, its a real conversation stopper  ;D Craig

The current CF vision is "general purpose combat forces" , so the 120mm mortar by itself cannot replace the mortar/gun combination ( and I really think we need HIMARS too) we currently have. A LAVIII mounted 120mm mtr. is a system for a mech. battalion, not a brigade arty asset. A _towed_...

Seems like a good system to me if the 120mm mortar part can meet the objective requirement ( 14km range). HIMARS for deep attack , M777 for med/long range and the 120mm mortar for closer in work. Another thing to consider is that the USMC has its own intergal airpower , both fixed wing and...

Unfortunately , your government does not trust you to own a FN . Unless you have the 12.5 prohibited category on your PAL you cannot own one . If you don't already have 12.5 you cannot get it . Sorry for the bad news , Craig
