Blindside Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Redwolfey, I believe you're good to go with the admin you've got now. I'm planning on getting one as well, as the square ones have become over done. seems like you got a good set up going for you. Will you be getting a 1911 + Holster? The biggest improvement you can make in my opinion is to get rid of the Mechanix gloves, I personally dislike them, I do see you've got some Sage gloves lined up, so you're good to go.

Squeezee Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 If I were to use an RRV, do I absolutely need the back plate carrier part? Link to post Share on other sites
Fatal Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 No, and actually the Eagle back plate isn't issued. The back of the MBSS is used, but there are quite a few pictures of just the RRV being used, with and without a PACA. Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, 1911 MEU, and Safariland 6004 or possibly a SERPA because I have a cheap source for them. That will be Christmas most likely. =) Wolfey Link to post Share on other sites

I figured I will attempt an FR kit, once I get more money, seeing as I just droppped $50 on a 6004. Maybe around Christmas . Link to post Share on other sites
emp3ror86 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 It's okay to use only the MBSS, RRV without PACA? I mean sure it's okay, no one forces anyone to do so, but does real service members do? I could make a fine fast recon kit without bulky plate carriers, just an MBSS. Question about CIRAS. Does FR/MARSOC use both kind, or only the maritime vests? Link to post Share on other sites

I just found pictures where service members wear only the plate carrier, without PACA so I suppose that's fine, too. Link to post Share on other sites

The Crunchy Bunny Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Earlier, i know I said I had more or less finished with the MBSS rig, but over the past few day's I decided that in order to lighten my 1st line, and take into consideration what Fatal and others have said regarding the IFAK situation and other things, I'm gonna switch out the MBSS for a RRV and MAP (I'll slap it on the MBSS' backplate). I could fit far more stuff on it, and be way more mobile then I am currently with my heavy *albatross* first line and drop-leg panel. I'll ditch everything on the belt besides the 2x4 pouch, dumper and holster. The IFAK will go under my right arm, with 8 mags across the chest, admin and all that good stuff.

Squeezee Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Nooooo, you could sell me the MBSS crunchy, you don't need the backplate . Anyway, good luck with the new setup. Are you going to start it soon? Link to post Share on other sites

Are you going to start it soon? Well, I'm selling my old Guarder Weesatch to a friend, to make $65, then I'll have to come up with another $30. So it shouldn't take long to get the RRV. I get payed for some work around the end of November so I sohglud be able to get the MAP then. Link to post Share on other sites

Grantfallen Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 How typical, after spending the last two years gleaming bits and pieces for my FR loadout, a couple of new bits arrived in the post this week, so I was moving pouches around and trying to get the best set up that I could, I had finally got myself a set of suspenders to hold up my 1st line gear. I put it on my Paca, Belt order and my MBSS and then realised just how much it all weighs, I didn't even have any mags in the pouches or my camelbak in my MAP, it felt really cumbersome and tight on me. I mean i'm no wimp, and I'm not a fattie either. I've also had an old woodland LBV arrive so that I can use some of my old Alice gear for woodland games, so I put the alice gear on, loaded some mags in the pouches, put my pack on aswell. Christ it felt so much lighter and so much more comfortable. My girlfriend came back in as I was clearing my kit away and said why don't I just use my Alice kit instead, "But i've spent a fortune and so much time and effort into getting all my FR gear, and because it looks so much cooler" Her look said it all. I'm glad with how my FR loadout is coming, I think i've only got a couple of little touches and it will be ready, but no way is it Hi speed. I'm now Lo speed, Hi Drag. It would be nice to get together with some other guys who've got FR loadouts for a game or even for some pictures. Link to post Share on other sites

PPM05 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I see USMC MEU's are getting more and more similar to MFR & MSOB, from a loadout perspective that is ! Link to post Share on other sites
Aeros Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 sorta, only thing i can see thats all that similar is the MICH w/ norotos. the vest they are using is just an MTV Link to post Share on other sites
