Good to hear it Matt. When you are ready to take orders again, I'm in need of a decent COP. You did a bang up job on my Chruburg 14 breastplate.

Those are nice but several hundred dollars more than my budget and I dont believe they are stainless. Maxim does work in stainless. All you need to do is ask.

What grain and type of bullet? How many twists does your barrel have? Its it light or heavy barrel?

Real M193 is getting hard to find. Plus M193 IS NOT .223 ammo. Its 5.56mm. And they are different.

Can your rifle use M855?

What ES02 said.

There are the 13's, 14's, 18's and others out there.


Did you mean the 9 piece segmented breastplate? The solid goblos style breastplate? The two piece placard style breastplate?

I have no clue that I got myself into something that deep. It was actually easier for me to make a full haubergeon it seems.

The trapezoids join with 45-degree seams -- look these up on mailling sites if they are unfamiliar. I prefer to use expansions, myself. Are you attaching your camail to a bascinet? It is exactly like making the cowl portion of a mail coif. Well, plus temple triangles for either side of your face op...

2 helms, 2 sets of legs, 1 set of arms, a set of shoulders and a breastplate from him.

Superb.

I get EXACTLY what I order.

And once it ships it typically takes 10-14 days to get here from the Ukraine.

His armour is spot on.

Don't get me wrong, I have quite a few products from Historic Enterprises, but the lock on the flat, wedge riveted mail puts it well out of my price range.

I paid half of that for a full half solid, half riveted one from Forth Armoury when Steve had it up and running.

I don't have the cash that Jeff wants for his stuff and he doesn't offer hauberks anyways... which would be quite a bit more than $1000 by the prices on his Haubergeons.
