But might get my self a highlander forces 33 in desert DPM to compliment my desert set ups, i swear by my DPM forces 33 so a 1 in desert will make a nice edition i think.

If it's done in permanent marker it's going to be tough. Fortunately being a desert kit there shouldn't be any problems if you bleach just that one spot. If you do find a way to do without any bleaching effects please let me know though as I have to do the same for my issued CBRN jacket. Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately all the info that goes onto the panel on the CBRN jacket fills the whole thing, there's nowhere to write anything else. Link to post Share on other sites
Gadge Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Blood type on your helmet looks warry but its a bit balls really. As a colleague pointed out, by the time you get to recieving whole blood the odds on your helmet or webbing being anywear near you are remote, much better on a bracelet or a small tattoo on the chest (its a bit ss i know but it isnt going to come off) Link to post Share on other sites

surreyairsofter Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Gents, as you're all DPM wearers, could you let me know if this SAS smock is a genuine british army issue item? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DPM-Camo-SAS-Windpro...1QQcmdZViewItem Usually im confident in ads, but i just thought that i would check i'm getting the real deal, and not a copy/fake. Whilst browsing listings i've noticed that some "SAS smocks" have elastic lined wool wrist sleeve type things, so i dont know which is the real deal and which isn't. many thanks!

Nicoli Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Me and a mate at our last Skirmish.....despite being Austrian, my Aug looks good with DPM I feel. Probably because of the OD furniture similar to the L85 series, and the fact its a bullpup. Link to post Share on other sites

If it's from StrikeForceSupplies, it's almost certainly genuine. The fact that it says 'SMOCK COMBAT WINDPROOF, WOODLAND DP' on the label is also a fairly good sign it's real kit.

surreyairsofter Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 morpcat - Thanks a lot, i've been looking for an SAS smock at that price in my size for an age! kizuna132 - http://www.qmstores.co.uk/gbu0-prodshow/WTPLCE.html I'm pretty sure thats a standard issue webbing set? Excuse me if i'm wrong, when i found it i nearly wet myself! For all - To get my brit loadout really kicked off, i've ordered an s95 shirt and trousers, assault boots, and hopefully that SAS smock and webbing gear. (also ordered a king arms FN FAL full stock, not exactly modern but i love the weapon and it fits somewhat!) Pics to come on thursday Link to post Share on other sites
