I'm not sure about the magazine you want to use but the magazine pouches will take a British Army water bottle pouch if that's any help.

I liked this so much I thought i'd have a go:
-
Woodland.
Which woodland? It's not M81, it has dots.
-
They might have used on of these, I think it'd be a good fit
-

Milsimish loadout for the P*
Edit: Tacticool socks for gits and shiggles. I normally have actual boots lol.
Wouldn't it be better to put your magazines on the left leg? Then you wouldn't have to have them so far down and surely it'd be easier to reload from the left?

Swap for an L1A1, temperate trousers, webbing etc and you'd be in the Falklands. Certainly in the first picture.
Yeah I was going to say the photos look like what it might look like if it kicked off again.
Also I think that flag is the wrong way round, easily done though.

Freshly arrived from Moscow (present from a friend)
Great, I brought back a similar haul from Moscow when I was over there, do you know the ages of the cockades? I found one at Izmaylovo market that was either a '39 or a '46.

Is that Multicam with WWII webbing?

Had a leg panel once, being only 5ft 7" it didn't work very well for me, now I just run a belt rig. Got to say though it is the best thing I have ever bought.
I'm 5'10" and it works really well for me, I do have it as high up as posible though, it basically sits on your hip rather than your thigh. I run it with a rigger belt with a 1911 in a serpa and a multitool on the other side.

Holy subload, batman

What's the point? You can pick up RS ones cheaper than this second hand.

Anyone with these chest rigs have trouble low-crawling?
If you're having this problem you're probably wearing it to low, chest rig goes on the chest

Great colour scheme with the sage green. HSGI leg rig, awesome

Those two upgrade parts should fit together. Both are specified to replace Tolyo Marui stock AK parts. The thing is the fore grip is included in the 104 front end, and both together cost more then a full AEG. You could buy a tactical AK of some with the same look for the amount of both those parts. You could get the Beta Project Magpul AK for near that amount or any number of nice complete AK type AEG.
I personally think the time of the AK purist has passed, since the Russian military is upgrading and modernizing as well as individual Russian soldiers kitting out their personal weapons just like US soldiers. They go online and shop for advantages just like soldiers of most western nations. There are many pictures from the Caucasus and Chechnya showing very interesting modernized AK's in combat. The 9x39 round VSS, VAL, and SR3M Vikhr are being used in ever increasing numbers, or at least showing up in a lot more journalists images and screen captures from news clips.
I think part of the AK purist movement is actually the AK hatters club as well. They like to think of the AK as a 'communist' gun and are opposed to seeing it modernized for reasons of nationalistic pride more then any supposed mil sim accuracy. Notice how making one look like its beatdown is considered OK, but make one look like a modern soldiers well taken care of primary weapon and everyone screams and cries. I think 90% of this crowd just transfers the now confusing and antiquated feelings of fear of communism onto this poor gun, and want to see it in peasants clothing.
I suspect most of the so called 'purists' really want the common depiction of the Russian soldier to stay firmly rooted in the 1950's to feel superior. Whatever I don't care, I am modern in my ways of thinking and so is my AK.
This is a modern Russian soldiers real AK.
Russian Soldier showing of some new kit.
Nice gear Dudesky.
Modern Russian submachine gun.
(Karden sorry your image domain is blocked here could not link had to borrow the images, pls dnt shotz mez)
Viewing the AK as a communist or terrorist weapon that must look a certain way to placate fragile emotions, is weak, and fragile, whatever thats not me.
Great post man

My new all terrain tigers.
That's awesome! Where can I get some?

What's the purpose of the bungee?
-
Nice, could do with some gloves mind.

^ hey, Lerch, that's great.
Did that $50 you ripped me off for, and have ignored multiple PM's regarding, help pay for it? Sure would have liked that Eagle rig, but I guess that's old news now.
Take care.
Graham.
Join the club mate, he owes me £100 worth of gear.

Yeah excellent impression
-
Seriously not.
I've got more than enough WAS stuff here to say that it is not the same as Pantac, apart from a couple of pieces that pretty much every manufacturer produces (RRV copy etc) the 2 companies don't even sell the same designs of gear. UK-Tactical have been constantly filling massive orders to supply Warrior kit to our military as well as foreign forces for years now, and there's plenty of pictures back from Afghan to back that up, I'm not exactly seeing much flyye gear in the sandbox.
+1 WAS is real kit, not really in the same league as Pantac/Flyye
