Not really any other places to put this - Its a variant of a variant of a variant of an AK ICS Vektor R4 Real steal handguard, retainers, sights and sling

Thanks for the pic. I saw it a while ago but couldn't find it again!! Do you have it in a higher resolution? I think its just the beard and headgear that makes it a bit more African

Yea looks very much EO!

I was thinking modern day :/ Your absolutely right, edited

Thanks for highlighting it, I actually read my source wrong and have just dropped that bit as trying to work it out got confusing an that section was for the official names or full names. As mentioned its standard with MARSOC when with the ANA, but lots of countries use M81 or some version of it. I just focused on the main user from the origin country as if we get onto all the different countries that sue it and what versions etc the DPM section would be several pages long. Hence why there's no users section With regards to USN and USAF as with A-TACS I am going with the general stand

Well I wasn't aware of the Ukraine situation so thanks for that! Have you got any images of it you can share

Thanks a lot I know the polish have been dabbling in A-TACS but its not standard nor widely issued so I left it out otherwise the list would be very long and complex and I had to draw the line somewhere. I believe the photos of A-TACS were during the unrest but like above, not standard or widely issued. I've seen pics of Ukraine soldiers with DDPM loadbearing recently but don't make it wide spread Zimbabwe's new pattern is based on the Rhodie kit but the colour order is different with the brown over the green so not the same pattern. Its also probably rarer than the original

Cheers, I would like to do different pattern in different environments but living in South Oxfordshire we only really have green fields. But an in the field comparison test is on my to do list

Hi all, I've been meaning to do this for a while and have finally got around to doing it! Its basically a quick run down of every pattern I have with info on the patterns, my personal view on its effectiveness in the UK and then a rough cost Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think! - http://fireteamzulua...collection.html Thanks Nick

Thats a bingo!

Here's the Delta Team from The last RIFTsim game Points if anyone knows who I am in it

Its the same problem with Galils, they shouldn't be here as they're not a Kalashnikov, but a specific Galil thread would die fairly quickly Might be better to change the name of this thread to "AK Variants and Derivatives"

faramon that is a damn fine loadout! However, one does not normally do up the bottom button on a waistcoat

Managed to get myself a set of rather rare Sa2000

repro Rhodesian trousers!!

Well the colour is designed so you don't need to add anything, it naturally picks up dusty/mud etc as you go along But yes if you krylon'd it it would be

No they're not common at all here. I have only ever seen one other one in all my time skirmishing in the UK! I think if you look under GBF Militaria's eBay page they're on for about £25 atm

Yea I think the P should be italiced looking at it again.. the hardest part is trying to find the right font/ The Z was made from scratch Its not actually engraved.. its all been photoshopped to where it would need to be. But yes the plan is to grind the area down. The M( I am getting has no trades on it so should be easy enough to do

I suppose this could go here.. Took it from a plain ASG/KWA M9 and added on all the trades that will need to be engraved to make it into the South African Vektor Z88 Took ages as there are no clear high res pictures of Z88s so most of it was done from scratch [/ Here's a real Z88 for comparison:

Nice! It'll last a million times longer and with SADF kit unissued i very, very, very rare! My SADF rucksack has been through the Border war with the 44 para battalion and then Iraq with PMCs and has only had two minor repairs

Thanks for the feedback.. I haven't no, but I have heard people who have. They're a whisker tight (although my AK74 mags fit perfectly) What you would need to do is put a spacer in the bottom to get them up to the right height as they are tall pouches

Price guide on SADF kit can be really hard as it fluctuates so much. The chest rigs can go for anywhere between £20 and £100. If i remember I paid £25 for mine but £25 to £35 is a good, fair price. Again where you can buy from varies a lot as its much more militaria than general field equipment. eBay is normally a best bet as most in the UK is held by private collectors. Alternatively I know GBF Militaria stock some currently and I've ordered from them before and they're top quality.

Hi all, I've just uploaded a review of the South African M83 chest rig to my teams blog. If you get a minute have a quick read. I'd also welcome any feedback as its my first review http://fireteamzuluairsoft.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/viceroys-gear-review-sadf-m83-chest-rig.html Thanks, Nick

I suppose it technically an AK variant so here's a pic of my Galil which I am very slowly turning into an R4

Finally got myself a P226!
