-MOOSE- Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Which sling is it and whys it so bad? Its a G&P, I find the bungee to be very week and the plastic could also be reduced in size, as well as the metal clip that connects to the sling point on the weapon. I just really don't like it, I'd rather have a 2-Point but it is nice to have a 1-Point when in the field. I normally don't wear the sling around me in the field anyway.

-Angel- Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Try a rubber band? If you go to a hardware store and buy an inner tube for a wheelbarrow tire, just cut that and it'll fit up to an Outsize helmet. I had a rubber band on there, but I prefer the look of taping . Guess i'll bite the bullet and go for some from eBay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Jon Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 the piston tube thing and hand guards aren't AKM. the gas ports are linear instead of radial on the gas piston tube type arrangement the wood hand guards don't have the ridgy bits. from what i can see anyway.

TheFull9 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I quite like the colour scheme. Was it effective? What do you mean "AKM(apparently)? Personally I found the DPM worked better than the Flecktarn seeing as the terrain was more green grass/bushes than mud, however the idea was more to look like a rebel/terrorist for the exercise type than to camouflage myself. To be honest I'm no AK expert, could well have been a plain 47, someone called it an M so that's what I wrote. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peanut Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Thought I'd post here as it's predominately DPM. My lad and myself yesterday. It was his first outing with his new AGM M16A2. For anyone interested mine rig consists of Tropical DPM shirt and trousers with a norgie underneath. Bulle boonie hat, ESS goggles, Pointman MOLLE vest and pouches, Cheapo knee pads from Wilkinsons, JG HK416 ACM ACOG and 9 Star midcaps. My sons rig consists of issue jacket and trouser, S95 I think, DPM net scarf, Viper vest, cheap ACM helmet and Jimbo sourced mesh goggles. Ok so it's not 100% authentic but does the job.

Grim Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Looking good. And you and the Kit looks ok to lol. Got a kit list of what you got on ur osprey? Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sammyc Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Osprey has... 3x Double Magazine pouches 1x Grenade Pouch 1x Medical pouch(can't see in picture as behind my other arm) 1x Camelbak Hydration thingy Its all pretty simple because i'm a left handed shooter and reloading and bullpup left handed is awkward so i try to keep as much stuff out of the way as possible. I also have a drop leg dump pouch on my belt which i have never seen used by the soldiers but I like it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 So your a cak hander like me then. most of my airsoft kits set up to used my gear left handed but my TA gears rigged for right handed use. I will have to try and take some clear pics of my osprey at the moment. set to just how i like it. I also have the leg rig but havnt used it as of yet. Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voodoo1 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 where's your collar? took me ages to work out what didn't look right... black labradors were standard issue for a while with my lot, we had three of them running around at one point... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sammyc Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 haha yeh i noticed it after putting it up aswell, the girlfriend was rushing me when i was kitting up so must have just forgot to make sure it was sticking out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Did you make your signature out of that exact picture? Good thinking batman.... On a related note, pretty good deal I grabbed off ebay the other day; however, can the actual bladder be removed? I'm guessing not from what I've tried so far, however having the zip in the side seems a bit of a waste otherwise so wondering if there's a trick to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lerch Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) It can be, you just need to remove the cap (unscrew and slip the ring off) and then you can pull it through and out. It's alot easier with the British ones and the side-zipper then the yank ones without it. Edited March 9, 2009 by Lerch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rudds Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) you need to unscrew the cap and then pop off the ring that attatches it to the plastic neck bit attatched to the bladder. dont be afraid its tough just pull it off. then push the plastic neck of the bladder though the dpm material. then pull'er out!

TheFull9 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Aye, it just needed a little extra armourer magic to persuade it out of there. Didn't fancy going in too heavy ripping the bladder at first to be honest, that thin plastic always seems awfully fragile. Cheers lads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rambo Kid Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Where can I pick up some good quality DPM in the states? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lerch Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 The UK of course There's not really a reliable source of DPM in North America... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Best bet I'd say is get on to ebay, always shed loads of kit on there from UK folks. You want issue stuff really as there's barely any independent companies around that actually make decent trousers/shirts. What kind of bits are you after and are you bothered about it being brand spanking new? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
