Le foto sono spettacolari, direi che adesso abbiamo abbastanza ref pic per farci un setup MEU MBSS Sotto con la moda del momento!!!!!!!

cheppalle, a parte la pistola (nonostante tutto sono ancora restìo a spendere 300 e passa euro fra pistola, safariland caricatori e tasche) mi manca solo l'mbss

Royal, io SONO a bordo della essex!

[Petro]
