‘Panther’ seems a logical successor to the preceding ‘Leopard’, but as far as animals are concerned, ‘panther’ isn’t a separate species - it’s a term often used for black leopards. And the official Latin names of all the big cats start with Panthera, including Panthera tigris. So from that perspective, a Tiger is a Panther.

There is a paper called “Shotgun News” that companies advertise guns in you can get all kinds of accesorys there, but you have to have someone with a dealers license order the guns for you.
I have a couple of collectable millatary guns. I have my K98 which is matching and stamped 1941, I have an M1 Garand, a Walther P-38 and an AK-47, not sure if that last one realy fits in there but its millitary anyway.
In one of the battles I went to I built a simulated bunker out of plywood. A buddy of mine and I got in it with an MG42 and an MP40 and two Squads one Brit and one American tried unsuccessfully to “dislodge” us. What a blast. I’m telling you that MG42 is like a buzzsaw, you can rip through a belt of 50 rnds in just a few seconds.
-
so where is a good place to check out prices? and how much more money is a fire ready weapon than a de-militarized one?
-
I don’t remember where you said you are from, but Walmart here carries Shotgun News. I’d check that out it looks like a newspaper but it is a periodicle that is puplished every 10 days.
I’ll do some looking around and see what I can come up with for you.
Are you looking for something in particular?
-
don’t go through so much trouble for me! i can’t legally own a firearm for another 364 days. I would like to own a MP44 and or MG42. That’s my dream…

Where do you live? In Arizona you are aloud to own a fire arm at any age you just can’t buy it your self. And just afew years ago they passed a law that says you have to have a permission slip from your parrents to carry it. Before that it wasn’t nessaccery. I got my first shotgun when I was 12. I belive I had 6 guns by the time I turned 18.

My friend ,here in Canada, has a Lee Enfield Canadian iusse from WW2. Its not registered though.
-
does the lee work
my grandfather had a ww1 ross rifle along with some 1812 muskets but he pawned them all before he died -
Yup, it works, His(my friends) grandfather-n-law hunted with it…lol sick.
-
My Kar-98 works great I can keep a 1" group at 100 yards. It is more accurate then my M1 Garand.
-
I would like to own a German MG43 (though I’d settle with a MG34) but you’ll have to pawn over a lot of dough in order to get one. For now I’m content with my WII Thompson submachine gun and Mauser which each cost me less than $200.
Also, does anybody knows what happens to weapons and vehicles after a war? Are the infantrymen required to turn over all their weapons and munitions even if they want to keep a pistol or rifle for personal reasons? Can you request to buy the plane you fought in if you were a high scoring ace?

I always personally liked the German Africa Core uniforms. No real reason, just fits my tastes.
-
The Afrika Korps uniforms are great too but I think that the tan blends in a little too much with British and American uniforms… But I do like their goggles and caps!
-
something about that hat and kool afrika insgina.
i live in NY by the way.
-
Wait… wasn’t the Afika Korps insgina a Palm Tree with a Swastika over it!?
-
yup…it has that cool green yellow color.
-
I started to build an Afrika Corp. Uniform but I never finnished. I have pants, shirt and hat, but no patches.
-
I’m sure you can find replicant patches on the local internet store or auction.
-
Oh, I have sources I just lost interest when I quit the reenactment thing.
