spetsnazdave87 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Cheers mate! Just seen your reply! Scored a genuine CSOR-correct old style Coyote Tan LBT 9039A MAP (Modular assault pack) from Legit Kit. Accessorised it with 3x ASP trifold restraints, and 2x LBT old style coyote tan smoke grenade pouches.Patches are an Airsoft Machine Shop IR Maple leaf and a Gear Whores Anonymous 'Bro do you even operate' patch. (I don't operate. It's a tongue in cheek patch).I'm literally just waiting on two 2xM4 paraclete mag pouches for the front before the 100% CSOR-correct 6094A is done. 'anada flag on the right, with Paraclete small GP acting as an IFAK, and Paraclete NVG pouch. Link to post Share on other sites

CaseSpartan Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hey guys was wondering if you had a good source for Cadpat Camo in the US or online, one of the guys I play with was looking for some? Hopefully this isnt too off topic for the thread, if it is I'm sorry. Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 CP gear do the OTW shirts (the ones with the big squares of velcro in the pics), otherwise ebay is honestly your best bet mate. Link to post Share on other sites

I can't find any information anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 88 issue so prior to any offical SF unit. The nearest would have been the Recce platoons of the Airborne Regiment and the PPCLI. Link to post Share on other sites

The nearest would have been the Recce platoons of the Airborne Regiment and the PPCLI. The flat top A1s? All the JTF2 guys in the mountains seem to be using regular C8s with the solid carry handle.

Danke Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 I can't tell you when those guys officaly racked those rilfes. No one's talking. They didn't start being seen with them till Afganistan. They were in the official inventory long beofre that; For winter warfare exercises I could also see them drawing hacker rifles just because of the less than ideal conditions.

Fair point, the ones in the snow with the DPM vests are the same guys as the ones in the desert with the hummvees so it's not an exercise, but I get the thinking! Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 I think the best rule of thumb if you're trying for a particular look but don't have much source material is that it's always safer to use older kit instead of the latest thing. A lot of those guys will stick with their tried and true instead of jumping on a bandwagon. Link to post Share on other sites
Seraphim989 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Canadians seem to love cowitnessing their sights Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Good point and I'm told that when the flat tops came out they came with plastic BUIS that were junk. The issue ELCANs did'nt really suit what that unit was doing so I woild suspect they chose to hang onto their previous hardware. This is a subject that's come up for discussion before and no one has come out with a rock solid explanation. Link to post Share on other sites
Seraphim989 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 There's some value to mounting optics forward like that, but I can't see why they'd continue to use full carry handles when there are smaller options. But I am also interested in how common it seems for their eotechs, etc to be mounted on the handguards, while that is something you almost never see with US forces Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 The plastic BUIS are awful, horrible flimsy plastic. I figured that if they were using solid carry handles for so long, the older operators may have got used to using the sights co-witnessed and so left the DIS on there when they got the flattop uppers.

nytehwx Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Can someone identify what coveralls they are wearing for the JTF2 "black kit"? Someone told me it's Anson Tactical Special Forces Assault Suit, but some of those pictures they don't have arm pockets, so I'm very confused now. Link to post Share on other sites
