killahaas Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I've just read Marc Nicol's "Ultimate Risk" then I've attempted an Op. Trent impression, G Squadron, Fire Support Base long range Barrett sniper, based on the info found in the book ... I know it ain't perfect: the Barrett model isn't the same issued to the British Army, the wagon is not a proper Pinky, and I haven't a CBA or ECBA flak jacket, but that's the best I can do... AWESOME land rover you have there =D Do NOT quote images. Remove the [/img] tags. Link to post Share on other sites
Doughguy Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Dough, I have seen that on the other thread, and as I said I like the look of it. What belt kit do you run with it, and would you be able to get some pictures up of the entire impression when its finished so I can plagiarise you But using a MAV style chest rig instead of a 1961A. I´ll take a pics once i have some parts of my sfw back. what i run else was seen on other pics tho. no additional beltkit (cept huge *albatross* bergan) dpm smock, crye gen 2 trousers, hanwag alaska gtx boots, oakley gloves, mich or boonie. and some little tidbits..

boomheadshot (infidel) Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Here is the latest update, still waiting for my CT1 to come through the post. I now have a Mich 2000 and Hopefully soon a PVS 21 mount from a sneaky source I'm hopeing to have it almost finished before copehill this April. Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Looks a tad ranger-ish to me but solid looking kit there Getting my SFW sorted this week, going to be running it 'current' with a long 16'' barrel, elcan spectre (pure supposition I know but my acog is currently awol), peq 15, surefire and gripppod. Also planning a 'blades in Iraq' 10-inch suppressed upper and maybe a C8A1FT for a bit of retro Link to post Share on other sites
Munky Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Almost got my SFW game-ready. G&P M4 base, 10" Element barrel with a perr_mike extension (thinking about throwing a Voretx flash hider on there), Miliputted front sight and Lonestar grip. Just recieved my ACOG this morning (went for the TA31 since that's what our regs are being issued) with a Docter red dot on top. Haven't made a final decision on batteries yet - the gearbox is front wired at the moment, so the obvious choices would be a PEQ-2, or a PEQ-15 with a lipo, but I am tempted to grab one of the small 850mAh lipos from component-shop and seeing if it will fit inside the RIS. Anybody have any experience with those? -Mike Link to post Share on other sites
boomheadshot (infidel) Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Got these though the mail today! 2 for the price of one which isn't too shabby Link to post Share on other sites
abbadon101 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Finally found the good camera Black Ops Plate Carrier and a lovely MTP UBACS My "MAV" rig with it pouches The whole sha'bang Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Looks good mate, I'm doing something very similar with a set of modded plce and that KPC you sold me Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Not to be funny or anything, but unless they've suddenly changed the rules and now have so much MTP lying around they're getting rid of it through proper disposal channels, no civilian should in possession of the stuff. Technically it's only illegal for us folks in the military to sell it, not for civvies to buy it as far as I know, but there's now one less UBACS for someone in Afghanistan who actually needs it, because you're using it to go airsoft skirmishing in.

-Angel- Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 AFAIK rules haven't changed, it still shouldn't be leaving the military. But like most things restricted, it still does. Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 The stuff is all over the place now, I don't think the rules have lifted but I haven't seen any auctions on ebay being pulled in a while. Guy I know got given a set by a squaddie who'd just come back. The price isn't even high for it anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowman1 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Are there any pics of UK forces wearing MTP shirts with DDPM trousers? Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 AFAIK snowman there haven't been any post-MTP era pictures of UKSF, we're in very theoretical turf with current UKSF impressions. Right, got my kit list together for my 'theoretical current' lightweight UKSF/ SFSG kit. This is mostly finished pending finishing touches to the pair of SFWs and actually buying the sidearm kit (which will probably be an after-birthday purchase in march when it gets a bit warmer). The pretty red lettering is stuff I still need to get. Suggestions/comments welcome. Clothing/headwear. -Mich 2000 (mount to come). -MTP ubacs and trousers. -Hard knuckle nomex gloves. -Meindl boots (As always). -Arm-mounted document holder. Load bearing equipment. -Heavily modified set of airborne PLCE with qd buckles, slung on HSLD suspenders, containing twelve E-mags and various kit (Spare ammo, jetboil and rats for weekenders etc). -Kandahar plate carrier mounting sidearm, grenades and PTT/CT1. -MBSS-type backpack for hydration system and main radio storage. -collapsible dump pouch on back of KPC. Weaponry. -10’ SFW with PM Surefire Suppressor, Surefire Scout, Acog with Dr sight and wings, PEQ-15 and angled VFG. -16’’ SFW with Elcan Spectre, PEQ-15, Surefire M952V and Grippod. -P226 in serpa, attached to stomach of the KPC mounted crossdraw fashion. Going on pretty much on a balance between what I think will work for me and what from my reading and what I can glean limited resources on present-day equipment I can find. I think it should look ok.

Snowman1 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 "Afghan children alert British Cpl. Martin, from 23 Pioneer Regiment, Royal Logistics Corps, of a mine 100 meters away." Dunno if he's SF, but he's wearing MTP, so I dunno. Found the pic on the US Army page. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Found this. No info attached though. Link to post Share on other sites
Jim01 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 That's on mil photos, they have just set a record for the most IED's destroyed in one tour. Neither of those photos are SF. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowman1 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Well, either way, I think I'll drop the MTP blouse on Ebay. I don't really want to risk those silly British Customs agents impounding my dearly-wanted cammies. Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Snowman, MTP is the new camouflage pattern for the British military in Afghanistan after an UOR. So it's not a good basis for judging whether someone is UKSF Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Though having said that, Snowman don't you own some multicam crye uniform for your ranger kit anyway? As that would be just as good if not better for a UKSF loadout Link to post Share on other sites
Snowman1 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Eh, just thought I might try to snag some for gearqueer points. Also, I've been seeing references and pics of a KPC. Can anyone point me in the direction of getting one? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

TheFull9 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Spotted this guy keeping a low profile in the back of a big picture spread in defence focus: May not be SF, but I don't think there's too many people in the british forces who get to use G36Cs. Link to post Share on other sites
