Battle gear

Yugoslavian leather suspenders and belt.

The JNA were the armed forces of (Jugoslavian Army) Yugoslavia.

Old school uniforms were the best.

Leather accessories for the troops all had lots of class...this was a different force, before the break up/genocide, but instead a cold war frenemy --equipped by the US as a secret Allie.

Seen here equipped with ammo pouches designed to hold 8mm Mauser ammo (7.92X57mm) on 5 round metal stripper clips.

This is where the confusion between stripper clips and magazines came from.
Stripper clips hold stacks of bullets by the extraction groove in automatic cartridges.

Note the oldschool bayonet and JNA day pack-- very sweet.

The second leather set, also yugo gear, is set up for the M59/66 SKS.

The pouches also hold ammo in stripper clips, three clips of 10 rounds of 7.62X39 mm (Russia's answer to the intermediate cartridge).

The pistol holster is for the M57 Tokarev pistol chambered in 7.62X25 mm. It has a pocket for a spare magazine.

Note there isn't a bayonet on this belt kit because the yugo SKS has a built in bayo that folds out from a groove in the stock on a pivoting hinge under the barrel and front sight.

Lastly, a US Vietnam web belt with harness and a bianchi pistol holster (fits M-9 and M1911) and two double spare magazine pouches (1vietnam era the other is older perhaps ww2). The bayo belonged to my grandfather Jim, it's a Vietnam era M-16 bayonet, though Jim was a WW2 vet himself...he also collected and shot for sport.

3 more belts are in progress or imagined. Hopefully I'll have them and will share someday.

Not sure what this holster goes with, the .32 M70 pistol was too large. :| ??

Cheek pad 2

Made the leather cheek rest/pad from an old wallet.

PK-A Red Dot Scope, Universal Mount

PK-A collimating Red dot scope.

New scope from the country of Belarus. Made by Belomo, this scope slides on AK/SVD scope rails.

The sight is 1x, it is a 1moa dot with 8 settings of brightness.

It sits left of center above the barrel and the iron sights can still be used on a wasr 10-63.

It was about 200$ shipped and is military quality for way less than other mild pec optics. I bought it from East wave and I recommend them.

This target was 30 yards and shots were fired at 1 per second to gauge speed and accuracy after approx zero at 30 yards.
Need to finish sighting it in and try at 100 yards.
