spetsnazdave87 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 No idea, I've seen them on Arnies before but turned this one up on a google search (will have to find it when I get home). Thing is the bloke isn't wearing a sidearm, just a chicom, riggers belt and DCUs (very high speed low drag). I was hoping a safariland would be kosher, but any idea on mag pouches? I can't find anything that looks era or military for .45 mags on ebay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-Angel- Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Um, maybe SDS .45 kydex in woodland? or Eagle kydex in MJK? Not my area really, but those would be on issue around that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Cheers man do you mean the eagle molle ones with the kydex inserts? Flyye make repros of those so if I can get away with them that's a great cheap option. WIP kitlist atm then is DCUS Chicom Sturdy boots. Pilots gloves. Dropleg safariland. 3x double EI kydex 45 copies. FDNY ballcap or pakol. Shemagh. M4A1. Edited July 18, 2011 by spetsnazdave87 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Foxhound Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Is it this one? Posting a few of my other favorite SF pics. Info for pic above ^ Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of NATO and International Security Assistance Force troops in Afghanistan, visits the 1-16th Infantry 2nd Battalion at Qalat Mangwal, Afghanistan, during a battlefield circulation, May 8. ISAF, in support of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, conducts operations in Afghanistan to reduce the capability and will of the insurgency, support the growth in capacity and capability of the Afghan National Security Forces, and facilitate improvements in governance and socio-economic development, in order to provide a secure environment for sustainable stability that is observable to the population.

spetsnazdave87 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Yeah that first pic's pretty similar to the look I was going for, cheers different set though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-Angel- Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) I know the ones you mean, the guy in the sleeveless t-shirt with an epic beard? Cheers man do you mean the eagle molle ones with the kydex inserts? Flyye make repros of those so if I can get away with them that's a great cheap option. Yeh, those are the ones. They'd be easily available for them, so it would make sense that they'd be used. Edited July 18, 2011 by -Angel- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Foxhound Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 If you wanted something that holds more mags Ive seen people use SKS rigs with M4 mags. Leaves them open topped and they stick out. I'll prolly pick one up myself soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) I'm trying to limit my ammo use by not carrying my usual shedload of magazines mainly because I'm fed up of spending thirty minutes reloading 20 mids! Carrying 4 in the chicom, 1 in the rifle, 6 spares for the secondary on the belt. Nice tip on the SKS rig though, like the idea of that. Angel I think the pics of that guy were part of the set I saw, yeah... beard is making prgress but nowhere near as epic at the moment Edited July 18, 2011 by spetsnazdave87 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

atomicaardvark Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 AFAIK Eagle kydex wasn't around at that sort of time frame, I'd look at something like Paraclete or BHI or maybe even LBT. Consider the duty belt-type pouches rather than MOLLE, there's a few pics of SF running a triple mag pouch in black mounted on their belts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Do you have any links? Could only find some rather expensive leather safariland pouches on ebay... my google fu is weak with US kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I run the duty belt type kydex pistol mag pouch, check my recent SF kit. It's mounted on the MOLLE belt in a crappy fashion, but I used it for my older era SF kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

atomicaardvark Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Something like the LBT-1479A, BHI BTS (double) or BHI BTS (triple) would be suitable, preferably in black, I'd say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spetsnazdave87 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hey guys what would be a legit dump pouch and butt pack type for the same 2001-02 era? Would a woodland alice buttpack and a flyye roll-up type be kosher? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
atomicaardvark Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hey guys what would be a legit dump pouch and butt pack type for the same 2001-02 era? Would a woodland alice buttpack and a flyye roll-up type be kosher? Good question, I don't recall seeing many butt packs being worn in the SF pics that I've got from Afghanistan around that timeframe - personally I would go with something like the UM-21 SPEAR buttpack as it would have been the 'issue' one at the time. An ALICE/LC-1 one would be a good alternative however. As for a dump pouch, in the sense that we now know them I'd say that this would have been unheard of for 2001-02. I would go with a drop leg pouch instead, to serve as a dump pouch - something like the BHI STRIKE Drop Leg pouch or BHI Omega Gas Mask pouch maybe. ODA-574 I believe...

Vaszi bacsi Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Other alternatives for the dump pouch: the sustainment pouch from the MOLLE backpack system or the RACK system leg pouch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) I was just going to ask about a sus pouch having seen the RACK leg pouch up close though I reckon I'll go for that, had a sus pouch before and the RACK looks better built.

Wildman1 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Not sure if this was already posted but could I get some help with what this guy is wearing? It looks to me like he's wearing the new Mullticam ACS, and come CP Combat Pants. So is that an MBAV or EPC? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wraith18A Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Isn't an MBAV an EPC with soft armor sown in? I have an EPC/C and I don't recognize that bit in front of the SAW pouch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wildman1 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yeah an MBAV is an EPC with soft armor sewn into it. Could it possibly be an MBSS with a cummerbund? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 No, it's an EPC. It's probably a chest rig attachment point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
