asbest13 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 i'm looking for the comms used by sbs in early afghan ("sbs-hikers"). the cougar fist mic is often seen, but it's hard to find the radios they used. i first thought maybe something like the an prc 152, but dont know if they were around at that time. i found this pic where it doesn't look like an prc 152, more like something like this (prc-349): i think the prc 349 was still in use at that time, so would that make sense?

Doughguy Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 It goes, surprisingly, with a cougar radio! Racal Cougar PMR4515 Good luck finding one Link to post Share on other sites
asbest13 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 looks like i'll have to bribe someone in the jamaican defense forces to get hold of one.... or just use the prc 349, seeing that its not to far of and available but thanks anyway! Link to post Share on other sites
Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Is that PLCE webbing or a vest? Link to post Share on other sites
abbadon101 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Going by the other pictures form that set I am pretty sure it is an Ops vest. Link to post Share on other sites
Corrigan Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Something I threw together on a whim: Basically a UKSF TFK load-out for Swedish winter. Hardly an impression, just think of it as a bit of fun, although the rifle and vest are close to impression status. The jacket is a Helikon, which has been reported spotted with UKSF recently.

L85FREAK Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I am looking at doing a SFSG loadout. I am looking at RAVs and was wondering two things: OD or RG? Pantac or Flyye? Link to post Share on other sites
abbadon101 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 RG is a better match and Flyye is meant to be the better out of the 2. However, there are lots of alternatives to a RAV, especially for a SFSG loadout. For a while in Afghan they were using chest rigs and ops vests over BHI and KPC plate carriers. Which I fine way more comfortable than a RAV personally. Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Paraclete has only made the RAV in SG... so RG is the closest. But my understanding is that the UK dudes liked to use BHI pouches in OD. Link to post Share on other sites
abbadon101 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 They get issued BHI pouches in OD, a huge bag of them. Link to post Share on other sites
L85FREAK Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 So to get a somewhat accurate SFSG look a RG RAV with OD pouches? That would simplify things, at least in my head. Do you guys know where I could get a Flyye RAV without the pouch set in RG? Is it possible to order directly from Flyye? Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 They get issued BHI pouches in OD, a huge bag of them. I know absolutely nothing about them. So good to know! Link to post Share on other sites
dechande Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 So to get a somewhat accurate SFSG look a RG RAV with OD pouches? That would simplify things, at least in my head. Do you guys know where I could get a Flyye RAV without the pouch set in RG? Is it possible to order directly from Flyye? The pouches don't have to be bhi, they get issued a set of Paraclete pouches in sg as well, so you can use either and any combination which will give you more choice. They also get an amount of multicam Paraclete pouches too. There are several sellers on eBay that sell flyye gear, have a look on there. Although being you're in the US, you'll probably be able to pick up a real rav for less. Link to post Share on other sites
L85FREAK Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I do not really know what I want to do right now. I can find a Pantac in RG with no pouches for under $200. Or I could wait a bit longer and, as Dechande suggested, save up to get a real Paraclete RAV. If one pops up on Ebay for less than the $600 I would have to shell out for a new one, I may pick that up. The flyye might be good if I could find it without the pouch set in RG. I really do not know anymore. Do you guys think it would be worth it to shell out the $600+ for a real RAV? If so, I may just buy a Flyye FAPC and use that as a light loadout until I save up enough money. That will cost more, but may also be worth it in the long run. Suggestions?

abbadon101 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Depends what type of airsoft you play really. If you do alot of urban I would go with a RAV. I got my real one for less than $500 and it was new, so if you keep an eye out on ebay you will probably find one at a reasonable price. Its just a question of waiting, but the real one is miles better than the PANTAC one I used to own, and about half the weight. I would avoid the FAPC, there is no evidence it is in use with any area of UKSF, if you wanted a cheaper rig for a basic starting loadout, they are issed the BHI recon harness in their big bag of BHI kit. So using one of those would be a perfectly legit base rig. Link to post Share on other sites
L85FREAK Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I am sorry for the onslaught of questions, but what exactly is the difference between pre-'05, '05 and '07 models of the RAV? Which is used? Anyway, I do think I am going to wait and save for a Paraclete RAV rather than a replica. It probably won't take me too long to save the money. Link to post Share on other sites
Blackjack13 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 '03 - No cummerbund support. '05 - Two snap-closure cummerbund support. '07 - Velcro flap over cummerbund. What era you're aiming for will be determinate of which model you want. For example TFB/K would be '03-'05, whereas latter ('07 on wards?) would be the '05, '07 and the updated RAV; the RMV.(in both '05 and '07 variants) Link to post Share on other sites
L85FREAK Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 That picture will be roughly what I am going to base my kit off of. With a few minor changes/ personal preferences. I believe that photo is from '09? But in essence there really is not a ultimately correct or wrong RAV style vest, yes? Link to post Share on other sites
abbadon101 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Its the newer version with the flapy front instead of the zip. Link to post Share on other sites
Blackjack13 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Correct there's really no right or wrong. But if you're wanting to do an accurate impression based off of the above pic then you'd want a Sage Green RMV in any of the configurations (as all are visible in the pic to a greater or lesser extent) covered in BHI/MSA Paraclete pouches and coupled with Gen2 Crye.

L85FREAK Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Thank you guys so much! I am very appreciative. It will be many months before my kit is done to my satisfaction. I promise I will post up pics when it is done. Again, thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
