-ZeroTwo- Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Could possibly have the internal retention clips on the outside of the cummerbund rather than inside? They look familiar to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Have switched to a BHI .223 chest rig instead of the 4-pocket chicom (couldn't resist the call of more mags ). Â Would black PT type body armour be unheard of in 01-02? Don't really fancy the heartache and empty wallet required for SPEAR armour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
atomicaardvark Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Not sure if this was already posted but could I get some help with what this guy is wearing?   It looks to me like he's wearing the new Mullticam ACS, and come CP Combat Pants. So is that an MBAV or EPC?  It's a MBAV with a chest rig worn over the top:  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't really fancy the heartache and empty wallet required for SPEAR armour. SPEAR would be better, either in woodland or preferably desert; however there is the odd pic of black armour being worn so you could possibly go with that. That said though, there are a lot of pics in my SF Afghanistan folder showing them without armour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Ok does anyone know anywhere still selling the G&P spear armour or real stuff fairly affordably? Â Black PT armour might be the best plan tbh but I wouldn't mind some SPEAR stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wildman1 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Ok, thanks guys for the help. Though I'm having a hard time finding an Eagle Plate Carrier or MBAV, so are there any other vests commonly worn by these guys? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wraith18A Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I've got an Eagle PC/C in CB and side plate pouches. If you really want it, I think we might be able to work out a compromise... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I find myself intrigued. I would love to, but I'm not sure how you would feel about holding onto it for awhile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Â Â Now not too hot on SPEAR system but are those not replicas of the SPEAR vest with horizontal front panel? Legit to use? Â PT armour looks a fair bit more manouvrable, might go for that tbh. Edited July 22, 2011 by spetsnazdave87 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wraith18A Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I've gotta go deal with some Somalis for awhile, so that's no big deal. Just gotta remind me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those look very much like copies of the Marine Corps old FSBE armour (the Rangers used something remarkably similar IIRC). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Ah right the only thing I could really find spearwise on ebay was a front plate for the vest with horizontal webbing... looked a lot like that. Â I reckon I'll go pt armour mate, but thanks for the help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Though not in any way an impression, it's inspired by US Army SF pictures I've seen in many ways, so I figured a bunch of knowledgeable people in that field would be the best to give me some feedback. Still missing a sling and some parts for the gun... And I do apologize for the myspaceworthy photography, but I won't have a chance to grab proper outdoor pictures for a while. Â Â Just received the shirt today. Will be leaving it out in the sun to fade. Edited July 27, 2011 by Pkekyo-Nor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carter Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 That's really cool! I like the RG Pant/Woodycam Top combo. Any chance of more pics/any of the inspiration shots? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Is that an IBA under your harness? Interesting combo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Carter: Thanks. Got the uniform combo from an AFSOC TACP if memory serves, but in general I've taken details I've liked from various photos of USSF, many of which I've seen in this thread and similar on other forums. I'm not aware of an alibi for the 416 outside of CAG and AWG though, and certainly not a 16.5" one. The rifle is however set in stone. If all goes as planned, I'll have more, and more importantly, better pictures to post on Sunday. Â Â And yes, it's an IBA. Was originally looking for a black SPEAR BALCS carrier, but decided on the IBA instead when I stumbled upon it on ebay. Better pictures of the BA: Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Pkekyo-Nor, that IBA must work very well concealment-wise, cause it takes me a couple seconds to focus on it just looking at the picture Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carter Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Very cool Pkekyo. I'm definitely going to try and replicate it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spydey Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 The whole IBA thing is kind of cool, Ive never seen anything like that before... The guys are right though, it is concealed quite well lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Nasty: Thanks. Originally I just wanted it to look cooler and less green, but it seems I lucked out with the side-effect. Maybe I've stumbled upon a new camouflage pattern Carter: No copycats! Thanks though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CoolHeart_ASN Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hey guys, I'm finishing my actual CAG/ACE loadout. But I wanted to know if a Mayflower Assault LPAC with an UW Gen IV chest rig could be fine. Â Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
