Two wee quick questions - 1st one. How do you carry your great coat if your not wearing it? Is is acceptable to put it on your A Frame, if so any suggestions or pictures to show the best way.
2nd question - As you know live firing K98 are getting harder and dearer to find. Is it acceptable to use a Yugoslavian one dated 1944? I know on the cocking leaver the ball has a flat surface. I was speaking to an armourer and he has seen this done on a few German K98 to reduce a bit of the weight. I just thought i would post this to see if it was acceptable, all feedback appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to look and thanks for the help.

Hi Jackjones
As Gilderinf says the greatcoat would be on the tornister (fur covered backpack) and folded into a roll
then attatched to the backpack (tornister) with 3 straps, one either side and one in the middle, there are usually
loops/square buckles on the tornister to do this, also the blanket would be attatched here too, as far as i know
this was done early War, later the normal rucksack was issued when the tornister was phased out.
Hope this helps, regards Pipes
