millest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Not sure of the policy, but the list has the UK as an authorized place to order from. emailed them and they confirmed that they won't ship any products internationally :-( ah well cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Aeros Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 no, as far as I know, the blackhawk OTV was never issued Link to post Share on other sites
Overkill1369 aka Lawrence Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 no, as far as I know, the blackhawk OTV was never issued You are correct, Blackhawk body armor has never been part of the Marine Corps issue. Link to post Share on other sites

Agent Hunk Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Make friends with a US member. Or contact BAE, since that's where they ship from anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

millest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 i did notice that the one on entry gear doesnt come with the rear neck protector, which given most people want that (replica or otherwise) that suddenly makes them not look as good of a deal as they did cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Aeros Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 yea, they do not, because the collar/yoke assembly has kevlar woven into it, just grab a pantac one by itself http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airs...il?prodID=24056 if its anything like the flyye one it will be rather constrictive due to the stiff foam inserts.. replace them and you will be good to go Link to post Share on other sites

UrPeaceKeeper Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Well, my A3 went to an A4, sans bursty obviously... My friend left my Old G&P M16A4 Upper reciever here, so I jacked the delta ring, front sight and rails and put it on my ICS M16A3 Obviously I'll be returning it to the A3 format, but it was fun to mess around with. And it's nice to know that the G&P Delta Ring goes on without a hitch which means in the future, it'll kick *albartroth*. Having said that, the A3 is now REALLY front heavy... it has a Guarder Steel Outer barrel, the G&P RIS, and a very heavy front grip... without delay, here ya go Link to post Share on other sites
