Yeah, a lot of it is. Too complicated and too flashy. For one I hate it when people MUST buy AFGs and do Magpul's Guy on a short bused shooting stance because it looks good.
I will post as soon as all the stuff comes in the mail.

Wow awesome load out. And Well put with the mag-pull crap, Chris Casta "is a Guy on a short bus".

Thanks (now you know why I want that M1903!)
I wouldn't say Costa is a Guy on a short bus, but he definitely makes things overly complicated. The only thing I got out of his technique was rolling the M4 magwell toward me for reloads. That's it haha
WWII shooting (from the hip, assault firing, one handed pistol) can be accurate with practice and usually encourages a smaller profile and more mobility. We rely too much on body armor today
I was watching an old M1911A1 training video and those guys are every bit as fast and accurate as today's shooters using the Weaver stance and two-handed grip.

Police those leggings, they look like they were tied by my dog.
Other than that looks great.

Damn, you look good man! I'm a huge fan of The Pacific and you look just like one of their new recruits! All we need to do is put you out in the mud and grime facing a couple of Japs and then we can call you one raggedy ass marine! haha! You look good! You might want to add the knife, that's all

Since I got my M1903A3 built, I might as well post my current setup. I need to get a cartridge belt, hopefully that will come soon.

Looks great. Keep the pictures coming.
As for all the "Chris Casta" haters, it's "Chris Costa". I am not a huge Magpul fanboy, but I respect what they have done for the carbine, and sidearm weapon training market. Both Chris, and Travis are geniuses with a carbine, and prove it with their training material.
Also, as cool as chosing "cavas" is, it is just as much a reasonable choice to have modern equipment, and have different impressions. Bashing those individuals that chose to do something different is immature, disrespectful, and as you put "idiotic" in nature.

Alright, new batch that I snuck in before the hurricane I know I didn't put on the leggings properly and neatly, but I was in a rush I got a USMC M1923 Cartridge belt and a M1 Bandolier from ATF, so now my M1903 rifleman setup is a little more correct FIX BAYONETS

I think your Gaiters might be a size bigger then they should be, but I dunno, ATF has a good way of measuring them.
And Dub your boots...

To comment on ATF's leggings: They seem to be a bit larger that originals. I have tried on many different leggings. When I ordered my correct size from ATF, I had to take them in almost 1 1/2", because they were too big.

roadwarrior, undubbed boots are fine for PTO, many Marines found it more convenient to leave them undubed, as the dubbing would keep the water in if it spilled over the tops of the boots (which was common, since leggings were commonly ditches, and even if kept are not water proof.) Undubbed boots let water in, but also let it out.

The Marine corp look is really well executed. I'm sure the later version with the Helmet and cover and added touches really solicits comments at events where most everyone is typical airsoft hodgepodge. You look great. The only suggestion and this is nitpicking is fill the bandoleer with something so it has demension. Wadded up cardboard if nothing else preferably something with weight.
The period correct posture and weapons handling is a huge improvement as well.

How much would you be willing to part with that M1928 ? Looks very nice and it's cool to see how you have grown with you loadout. Very nice!
