MERCILESSPIT Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Nah, that's good enough. I'm not looking to do a field study on the subject. I'm just giving a little help, take it or leave it. Sorry. Link to post Share on other sites

Tomster asked me some pics about different CBs and To supplement about what McKenzie was talking about : in the shadow with natural light Enjoy Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 One more.... Alright guys, here's what I got in the mail yesterday. I got some other small things but they're not really worth showing, just a belt and some velcro and such. Anywho, here's the majors: Eagle Universal SKD chest rig (CB) with a strobe pouch (CB) and SpecOps IFAK pouch (tan) and 4 Tactical Tailor mag pouches (CB/Khaki-ish?) Hatch kneepad sprayed Khaki, SpecOps Vapor holster, and an unknown brand radio pouch in MJK. I assume it's real deal cause it's made in the USA. Camelbak MULE (DCU) and Tactical Tailor GP pouch (CB) I have more comparison of Coyote Brown pictures for you guys Medical Pouch is Spec-Ops Brand Mag Pouches are Diamond Back Tactical Vest is Tactical Applications Group Link to post Share on other sites

masakarijoe Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 why do ya'all care? even 2 lbt mag pouches i had were completely off -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
McArthur Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Uhhh, because they are geardo's? Personally, I think if the pouches are similar enough color to look the same at a distance, and if they do their job and do it well, then thats a good pouch. Not sure why each pouch must be of the exact same hue/coloring. Link to post Share on other sites
UrPeaceKeeper Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 DO NOT get the Coyote Brown. Pantac's CB is just plain brown. Their khaki is much closer to CB. The color is somewhere between SDS and LBT. I am using the Pantac neck assembly right now and it works great if you can't find the real deal. Spartan I have a CB PANTAC dorp pouch that is definetly closer to CB then it is to brown. It has a slight greenish hue though. Does Pantac make a Tan neck protector? Looks like I didnt look hard enough! I know where my next pay check is going! EDIT: Looks pretty light in the pictures though. Maybe it'll match up to my SDS OTV better that way! If not a can of CB spray paint should fix that. Does anyone have a good recommendation on a brand of CB paint that is cheap and wont flake off? Link to post Share on other sites
Squeezee Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Last time I checked WGC had one but IDK for sure if they still have it. Link to post Share on other sites
UrPeaceKeeper Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Last time I checked WGC had one but IDK for sure if they still have it. Redwolf has them in stock too. They are 2 dollars more... but thats still cheaper than the real thing and much easier to find!! My only worry is it not fitting an XL OTV.... I would figure that the sizing doesnt matter too much as far as the head hole and what not but thats something I'll need to look into. Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm.. I think you may have gotten the khaki. My khaki neck protector has a slight green hue to it, but my CB groin protector looks way too dark and my CB drop pouch looks just plain brown. Anyways, my 2003 OIF loadout is done and I'm just waiting for my RCO to finish my regular loadout. I'll post pictures this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk281 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hawk281, what else do you have planned? A lot Here's my whole kit ATM Plus my half assed first line Yes, the dumper is attached with zipties. Right now i'm waiting on a holster and mag pouches for the M9. Next purchases will be atleast one more M16 pouch, in CB this time, a Hydro, some kind of GP pouch, Temperate MARPAT, and a PASGT or Replica. Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk281 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Sounds like a good plan. Sadly my wallet disagrees at the moment. This one is gonna take a while. Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure why each pouch must be of the exact same hue/coloring.I've been trying to stress that point for a long time. I even posted a pic of a Marine in miss-color-matched gear to illustrate the point. Spartan I have a CB PANTAC dorp pouch that is definetly closer to CB then it is to brown. It has a slight greenish hue though. Does Pantac make a Tan neck protector? Looks like I didnt look hard enough! I know where my next pay check is going!

Does anyone have a good recommendation on a brand of CB paint that is cheap and wont flake off? I posted a pic of the Pantac CB yoke and collar above (page 187), it's very dark, crayon or ###### brown is a better description of the color There's really no greenish tint to it. Great build and quality though. A full Pantac rig would probably look pretty sharp. Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 hawk: cool kit... nnot haircut plan on getting MARPAT, or sticking to the old school analogs? -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Analog, lol stick to the old school !!! Link to post Share on other sites
comrade5 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 he could stick to the old school stuff if he is doing a 2003 Invasion of Iraq load (don't know if he said he was, remember someone saying they were but don't remember who) that new plate carrier looks like that Condor one, which means I won' have to get an IBA/OTV to do a Marine load Link to post Share on other sites

Squeezee Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 If you do mod them to look like that, tell us, I want to see pics. Good luck with that project if you ever try it . Anyway, now I am going crazy to find a woodland FLC and pouches for it to put on my OTV. Link to post Share on other sites
