Modifying the Abbyshot MFP badge
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 7:56 pm
Here's a quick heads-up about an option for the Abbyshot MFP badge.
I wore the badge on the outside of my right boot, like in the movie. But all that is there to hold it on is that little pin. I found that it was very easy to accidently brush my leg against just about anything and dislodge the pin. Not fun if you lose a $40 dollar badge like that. Eventually, the pin broke off. So, I soldered four nickel-plated rivets to the back of the badge (the badge is copper) and just rivetted it to my boot. Now it's on there rock solid.
Just a helpful tip from HUMVEE Driver!
