Blackjack13 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'd be inclined to say no, if only on the grounds that their faces haven't been obscured (which I believe is a requirement for all photos of UKSF). The guns are, at least base, likely to be actual C8s however whether the Magpul attachments are actually being used in theatre or are simply there for advertisement (as Level Peaks is the UK dist. of Magpul) is unclear. They're also the UK dist. of Crye, hence the loadouts. Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Stupid question, and this may be the wrong crowd, but flecktarn.co.uk's size chart isn't helping an awful lot. How does one read UK sizes for uniforms? ie: 190/96 Much thanks! EDIT: I think I've got it worked out, now. But confirmation would be nice. The first number is the height of the individual in question (in cm) and the second number is their chest size (again, in cm). Correct? Link to post Share on other sites

thewallhitme Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 hey guys, So i have been using my UKSF (i use the term loosely as i have a long way to go. no doubt everyone will tell me this anyway) for a couple of game days now, and i thought i would put up the only 2 pics i have of it. Please take no notice of the weapon. Since i found out that perr_mike does not have any 16" barrel extensions i have sort of put that project on hold. Also, i would have prefered not to wear the DPM shirt, but it was too cold to go with just my green base layer. let the flaming begin! edit: wtf, sorry about the format of this one. its not much different than the one below. there are many things that i will be changing, but lets see what you guys say first. Keep in mind that I am going for a green side/ long range patrol loadout for early a'stan Link to post Share on other sites
abbadon101 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Green side would be all DPM. Early A'stan was mostly civi kit with webbing on top. Link to post Share on other sites
Murta369 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 decent start , i would personally switch the pants for some craghoppers tho Link to post Share on other sites
thewallhitme Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 i meant greenside as opposed to DA. and i disagree about the "has to be civi" http://www.konstipation.com/stuff/walt/sbs/afghan/bh055.jpg http://www.konstipation.com/stuff/walt/sas/afghan/uksasa.jpg They may not be from early A'stan, but you get the idea. edit: sorry, missed Murta's post. please excuse me but, craghoppers? 2nd edit: google is my friend. yeah i could use those. i actually have a pair of old black portwest trousers, a la http://safeandwarm.co.uk/prod_images/12060292.jpg they are quite worn out so i guess i could retire them to dirty-duty.

Murta369 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 easily picked up cheap and comfy as *fruitcage* and made for hiking so can take a battering the guy in the background of the photo you posted is wearing some Link to post Share on other sites
abbadon101 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 i meant greenside as opposed to DA. and i disagree about the "has to be civi" Did I say has to be? No. What I said was mostly. And if you are aiming for a early A'satn look surely you should be looking at references form 2001/2. Most pictures of the SBS I have seen form that time have them in civi hiking kit with bergans and PLCE. +1 for the Cragghoppers though I own about 6 pairs and live in them as they are so comfy.

thewallhitme Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 didnt mean to cause offence, its just that everytime someone mentions SF, they always follow it up with civi kit. the craghoppers do look good, but on a practical side, my DPMs are super easy to wash and i dont care what happens to them at all. I will look around some shops tomorrow when i am at work as i am in no rush to buy stuff atm. Thanks for the advice guys. Link to post Share on other sites
Murta369 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 no they dont , just from what we have seen of your loadout it appears you are going for an early afghan look with the pakol and stuff and its known that the SBS used alot of hiking kit over all mil kit its still rumored that the sbs knock about in hiking kit with a light weight plate carrier while the sas seem to prefer rocking round in multicam and more high speed plate carriers for full greenside , i would get some tropical dpm pants , and hike mod out your PLCE and ditch the pakol for a bush hat were not trying to bash you in fairness just give you advise on how to push your loadout forward Link to post Share on other sites
thewallhitme Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Im coming round to the idea of hiking trousers. i think the ones i have atm are not really suitable, and they are black which i refuse to wear for "tactical" reasons. would a tan molle chest rig be more suitable than PLCE? im only speculating because i have one sitting unused in my room... edit: also, the pakol is staying. i love it Link to post Share on other sites
abbadon101 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Depends what era you are looking to do an impression of. Its better to pick an era and then tailor your kit to that rather than mash stuff together. Not seen much Tan MOLLE kit being used buy UKSF troops, most seems to be SG, OD or MC. For early A'stan you kind of need to be looking at low key military and hiking kit. However I understand its a bit different now with more camo and body armour on show. I did try and link some pics but it won't let me. I will dig them out another time. Link to post Share on other sites
Murta369 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 if you wanna keep the pakol go for an afghan look , its cool and very comfy some od elephant or the tan craghoppers will do well. molle kit wasnt really around in the period you seem to be now aiming for. even delta and the seals were still using lbv vests and solid chest rigs it was about 2003 that molle came into swing unless you bodge your plce pouches onto it and make it out as a custom jobbie Link to post Share on other sites

thewallhitme Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Yeah, the chest rig is a ###### idea, and i prefer the plce. I will look into craghoppers, i didnt get a chance to at work today. i think some green ones would be better suited to the site i frequent. still £30 is a bit much for a pair of trousers tbh Link to post Share on other sites
kingdong Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 ^ considering airsofters also pay £130 for a pair of crye multicam trousers! so £30 for a set of craghoppers is pretty cheap. Link to post Share on other sites

spetsnazdave87 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 still £30 is a bit much for a pair of trousers tbh Early Afghan SAS is like the cheapest of all accurate 'l33t' loadouts it is possible to do... Link to post Share on other sites
