Trzewinski Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 It's the same for me. I'll post some pics of tissues, with a little bird on it, in a few days Link to post Share on other sites
UrPeaceKeeper Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I've a bad bad boy. Today I purchased: AITES Leg panel in CB 2xSDS M16 pouches (same style as I've already got, they were cheap) in CB PANTAC OTV Yoke and Collar bits in Khaki (since their CB is supposed to be too dark I"ll trust ya!) PANTAC Large Mag Dumper (beats the one I've got now) in CB (Lets see how dark it is!) I've got some more money coming to spend on food, but my room mate didnt give me my money from last month he owed me for fee's and what not so I've got some of that to toy with. Next up is those gloves I've been meaning to get. Then after that... Desert Cammies! No pics from the game this weekend, the photographer forgot his camera again and I managed to forget mine at home.

Perch Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well, some long promised pics to you people: It's my USMC SAM loadout, for Woodland though: I postet my kitlist in the old thread, but if somebody is interested in it, I'll list it again. Link to post Share on other sites
voodookid88 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 whats all on your weapon? makes and models? Link to post Share on other sites
Perch Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 It is based on a G&P SAM-R. TA31 is G&P AN-PAQ 4 is G&P Bi-Pod and Bi-Pod Mount are G&P Inside my gun is heavily modded though, a head at 50 meters is no problem at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Matt0311 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Would medium SAPI plates fit in a small Spartan Assault Vest? Would it be a tight fit, would it fit at all? If so, comfortabley? Thanks, Matt Link to post Share on other sites
Aeros Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Nice kit perch, looks like your OTV could use some inserts @matt: I think Joe would be able to tell you, I think he's answered a similar question before Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Would medium SAPI plates fit in a small Spartan Assault Vest? Would it be a tight fit, would it fit at all? If so, comfortabley? Thanks, Matt An addition to this question... Whats the general sizing for the Spartan II's? OPTact doesnt list the sizes for it... So I'm gonna have to assume since I wear a M/R blouse, Medium should suit me fine? I'm looking to pick one up after Irene VI... Link to post Share on other sites
Fatal Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 For all your Marine with AK needs Does anyone know what kind of pouch this is on his chest? Link to post Share on other sites
Perch Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 @Aero, if you mean Soft Inserts, then I have to disappoint you This is a medium sized, Point Blank Interceptor Body Armor with a Savannah Luggage E-OTV cover on it. I do not use Hard-Plates during Woodland Games. MOUT though I use 'em. Link to post Share on other sites
Aeros Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 So they have soft inserts huh? didnt look like it The hard plates you use, are they replicas? Btw, know anywhere I can snag a Point blank CB IBA? Link to post Share on other sites
Squeezee Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Does it have to be an OTV or can it be an EOTV (The one with more webbing) Does anybody know where I can find desert MOLLE cheap besides ebay? I might spend some cash and throw an experimental desert FLC rig together seeing as my OTV gets hot. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Hendrix2247 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 By the way, Squeezee: How was the flight suit versus normal cammies? Link to post Share on other sites
Matt0311 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 So you are saying Squeezee, you are not going to use the IBA? Just a FLC? Link to post Share on other sites
Aeros Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Squeeze: I'd prefer that it would be a regular OTV , not a huge fan of the E-OTVs unless its in ACU Link to post Share on other sites
Matt0311 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 MTV here if anyone would like to bid on it: http://cgi.ebay.com/Modular-Tactical-Vest-...id=p3286.c0.m14 Link to post Share on other sites
Perch Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Well, of what I heard, the MTV didn't have big success within the troops, too cumbersome. Get what you want, but you see more and more E-OTVs within the Marines. Though the usual OTV in CB is currently the most common. Link to post Share on other sites
KWP Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Well, of what I heard, the MTV didn't have big success within the troops, too cumbersome. Get what you want, but you see more and more E-OTVs within the Marines. Though the usual OTV in CB is currently the most common. Says who? Spreading rumours and hoping some kids take the bait? I wonder if more than a handful Marines ever used the E-OTV made by Savannah Luggage. E-OTV is not even yesterday, it's the day before yesterday and to say it's seen more and more in the Marines is so off, it's almost not funny anymore. After the conventional OTV/IBA came the MTV and now it's the MTV, Eagle PC, Scalable PC and FLC that are used depending on the location and scenario. Link to post Share on other sites
Matt0311 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yeah, i'm not going to buy it, was just saying if any of you folks that have money for an MTV, it's for sale on Ebay. But what KWP is saying, i think it is true. There is still OTVs, i'm sure, but i think the MTVs are currently more common. For the Infantry at least. Link to post Share on other sites
Fatal Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 They are both common, but I wouldn't go as saying one is more common then the other in the Marine Corps as a whole. But I would go as far as saying the IBA is more common in the grunt battalions. The MTV would be more common in a non-grunt battalion though. For the simple fact that grunt units are going to be out training, deployed, and doing activities that restrict them from going to CIF to get the MTV. I am not saying that there are no grunts with MTV's I am just saying the IBA is a more common thing to have. I even remember guys in my unit who were told to go down to CIF to pick up the new one and declined. This was also the same thing that happened when the Marines got LWH with the newer pad system. I was one of these cases, I preferred the harness LWH over the padded one. When my unit was ordered to goto CIF and exchange it out, then we all had the new padded LWH. I have no clue if this helps or contributes to this thread. Link to post Share on other sites
Badly Browned Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Well, that vest has been removed by eBay, heh... Link to post Share on other sites
Squeezee Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yeah I saw that. Matt, no. Seeing as my OTV is so goddam hot (I can suck up the weight and the heat, but the thing is I hate is taking it off and being all sticky. IDK if you know what I mean but if you do, then you understand how I feel) The FLC would be a lightweight setup for when I didn't want to wear the OTV or for when I run DCUs. But I also was thinking of ALICE with some ALICE SAW pouches, the ALICE IFAK, and canteen pouches. Lastly, I might also try for a CB FLC. I haz a connection who better not reveal himself like last time lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Matt0311 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yeah, i know what you mean Squeeze. He must have sold the MTV or something. He said he might put it up for buy it now, for $600, maybe that's why. Link to post Share on other sites
