matt.bee Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Cheers for the comments, much time and money spent on this by all 4 of us! The odd pouch is CRW replica (not bad quality either) but everything else is genuine. In the pic Number 3 is wearing an FM12 instead of a SF10 as he'd forgotten his anti flash lenses, numbers 3 and 4 are both missing 5 hole flash hoods in the pic too. Number 1 has the breaching shotgun (Remington 870 short barreled with pistol grip) slung on his back normally, not in this particular pic. The rest of the team carry shells for the breacher as well. Nico 9s are on the upper left rear of the vest, to be grabbed by the guy behind. The guy at number 4 actually has on a SO19 breacher pigskin, which has at least 20 Nico pouches on it!

TheFull9 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 CKinnerley, I like that L119, I'm thinking of doing a RIS job on my own M4 - as far as I'm aware I'm going to need a railed handguard and gas block? (To install flip up sights.) And what sort of price range would I be looking at for that? Currently I'm operating a so-called "poor man's EOTech" red dot sight unit at the moment, it would be nice to have the front sight post out of the way. You'll need a KAC RIS system, but I've never seen a picture of a railed gas block so no, a standard one is more correct since you'll probably never find the proper reinforced one. Rail wise, I went for one of these myself which I'm pretty happy with: http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/accessories/r-i-s-r-a-s/for-rifles-aegs/guarder-ras-handguard-set-hard-anodizing-for-m4a1-carbine.html But there's plenty of other companies who make that same style rail and they're all pretty much the same end of the day. As for optics, either an EoTech 552 (probably more suitable if you're going with the shorter barrel length), ACOG with irons as on my rifle or ACOG with docter sight if you want something more modern.

darkchild130 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 You are missing your shotgun, you need one to breach doors and for those close calls. one thing you may want to get or invest in is a bunch of flash bangs and the number 2. usaly carrys then and puts them in the room.but other than that good job. No he doesnt, no.3 does. Carry on... Link to post Share on other sites
Blackweell! Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 matt.bee that's an amazing effort, you guys all look the part. It's good to see a CRW loadout once in a while. Shame about those missing shotguns and flashbangs... (I'm only joking see...) Link to post Share on other sites

Ah sorry, I saw a few stack up pics with the number 2 with the flash bang about to throw it in the room, but o well its the number 3. spetsnazdave87 What is that suppost to mean Link to post Share on other sites

Fire NL Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 OD Pouches on a rangergreen vest? I've always wondered how that would look like. me like! Link to post Share on other sites
Corrigan Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Thanks dude! You can check out the UKSF Baghdad DA for more SG + OD goodness. Link to post Share on other sites
Jim01 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hate to burst your bubble but those are OD paraclete RAV's Its been spoken about before and its a special order placed by them for OD rather than SG. Link to post Share on other sites
Corrigan Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'd like to see your source. I have read the discussions and I am under the impression that at least some of them are SG. Someone with experience of paraclete SG could perhaps fill us in. Come on, surely this is SG? Link to post Share on other sites
Jim01 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Im not dismissing the fact that they may have some SG, they even have multicam and some CB. But the one's from the photo you produced from "that" set of DA photos are OD, ask anybody in the know and they will tell you the same, special order to paraclete...its even discussed in the previous uksf thread.

Corrigan Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Right, in that specific pic I posted before, the RAVs might be OD -- I can't really tell. I'm just saying, that there are SG RAVs in many of the DA pics. Link to post Share on other sites
chatham Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 They're OD in other pics too. The whole series of pics with them in RAVs are from the same time frame. Anyway, SG fades to something appearing OD under heavy use anyway. So whether they're ordered in OD(which they are), or are SG, they end up the same. its even discussed in the previous uksf thread. Seems like nobody believed it then either. Link to post Share on other sites
Corrigan Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 They're OD in other pics too. In all the other pics? Seems like nobody believed it then either. You seem to think skepticism is a bad thing. Responding to the baseless assertion made above in Jim's first post, of course I'm gonna question it. Whether he turns out to be right or not is irrelevant. Link to post Share on other sites

Come on, surely this is SG? http://i36.tinypic.com/9qgt54.jpg THat one is definitely Smoke Green, all of the Green Paraclete vests issued to 1Para since 2009 have all been Smoke Green as well. Nice setup too by the way! Link to post Share on other sites
tom lawson Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Why would they bother ordering a load in OD? Surely dark green is dark green, be it smoke or olive. Link to post Share on other sites
