Cpt. Winters Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/hurricane-552-eotech-style-holo-sight There you go 2 in stock black but thats the best i could find Thank you, but now I'm not so convinced, lol. From what I've read those Hurricane 552's have severe ghosting issues. Any other recommendation? Link to post Share on other sites
TeddyBhoy Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Lads, would anyone be able to suggest a suitable Ruck for a FR greenside loadout? Needs to be able to be worn with belt kit, hold sleeping gear, food and such for a weekender. Also wouldn't like to break the bank on it! The obvious choice for ALICE webbing would be an ALICE pack, I know these are still in use with some other units but I'm also going to be getting an RRV and MBSS in future so would like something that looks a bit more modern, ergonomic and comfortable so it can be used with all my rigs. Whilst I'm at it, is there any specific tent? I'd assume a 3 man USMC combat tent would be too big and bulky so a bivouac would be more likely? In the interests of comfort, is there any 2 man or 1 man tents FR have been known to private purchase? Finally, being a perfectionist, what colour roll mat would be the norm? Green or tan? Cheers for the help Teddy Link to post Share on other sites
nixonsbak Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 FR hasn't really done much greenside stuff in the past few years (that I've seen, anyway), but I'd assume most would be seen with either the ILBE main ruck/assault pack or the FILBE main ruck/assault pack Link to post Share on other sites
Adiventure Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 FR hasn't really done much greenside stuff in the past few years (that I've seen, anyway), but I'd assume most would be seen with either the ILBE main ruck/assault pack or the FILBE main ruck/assault pack I got a bunch of *suitcase* a while back for saying an assault pack, but I stand by my assessment. It clearly depends on what the actual mission is, and for what duration. Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Berry Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Bit of FR green side here with packs , half way down the page http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?229129-Today-s-Photo-s-Monday-July-22nd-2013 Looks like a real mixture of packs, woodland, Marpat ilbe and a coyote tan of some sorts. Field tent I'd go with the catoma fold up pop up, with the rain sheet http://www.catomaoutdoor.com/Catalog/ProductInfo.aspx?id=160 Link to post Share on other sites
beardyairsofter Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 can anyone tell me if this is a genuine loudout, before i go and buy the pouches. i plan on changing the hydro pouch for an mbss/ rear cargo pouch, then i plan on running a drop leg pistol,pistol mags dump pouch and ifak on my first line, but cant decide weather to get a riggers belt, of a molle belt.

TeddyBhoy Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Where'd you get the PACA in the UK? Been trying to hunt a good one for nigh on a year Link to post Share on other sites
beardyairsofter Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 That's not my gear, I found it on google. My paca is ranger green but was thinking of just spraying it with khaki paint to try and break up the green and lighten it Link to post Share on other sites

beardyairsofter Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Ow haha sorry put these up on my mobile so it went straight to the bottom of the page.

nixonsbak Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi guys Anyway, yeah that's my old FR kit. All of the nylon was real FSBE II except for the PACA, which was repro. I eventually set it up similar to the guy in the middle's setup http://i.imgur.com/C8D6dva.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Mqvwayg.jpg Sadly that vest has long since been sold to a close friend, and I've got another MBSS. But I don't do a FR kit so much any more. If you need a kitlist or anything, let me know. Link to post Share on other sites
beardyairsofter Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 A kit list would be really helpfull, I've been scouring the internet for days trying to find somewhere to buy FSBE II kit, where it's not going to cost me my kidneys But yeah a kit list would be greatly appreciated, especially the front of the mbss as the back I will change anyhow. Also If anyone knows of anywhere to buy either genuine or decent replicas of FSBE II pouches please let me know Link to post Share on other sites
Amoki Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Does anyone know what's the best EOTech 552 replica and where to get it in the US? I've seen good comments about the Hurricane and G&P ones, but it's almost impossible to find them. BTW I'm just patiently waiting for some stuff coming from China. As soon as they arrive my loadout will be around 95% complete, which I think is a pretty decent standard to start posting some pictures and asking for feedback. Don't want to sound like a *sharp needle-ly bits*, but you do live in the US - you can easily score a real, 2nd-handed Eotech 512 for slightly more than the price of a Hurricane.

Amoki Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 BTW, might be interested in going the CPC way for my MARSOC load. CB or Khaki? Link to post Share on other sites
-MOOSE- Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Since Crye doesn't make their CPC in khaki, you're only choice between the two would be coyote. Link to post Share on other sites
