Ahhh the Viking that little tracked vehicle that they started usin in cold climates that little thing completly missed crossing my mind. To own one of those would be awesome.

 

The hats brand new so not had time to dirty it up or modifyit yet and i was to lazy to unclip my camel bak off my osprey and attach it the the vest for the pics but for field use the the camel bak will deffo be on it.

 

Coming soon(well when i can be bothered getting pic if not befor sunday) my complete top cover loadout(thats right its finally finished)

The rubber is the top of an old NBC boot cut off and looped on to the base of the helmet. it helps hold mis sized covers to the it and stops wear and tear on the edge of fitting covers.

 

Looks like 2 mags in a mag clamp on that picture as well.

I knew (vaguely) why it's used, just not if they are more often homemade or bought.

 

Indeed thats the same mag coupler, I was looking more at the lower receiver and magwell area theres what looks like a logo. Not to worry and thanks for the link!

I see what your talking about, its definitely not the Logo,

It appears to be a plastic disk stuck down, it could possibly be a LED torch, a pressure switch or any other device that the guy finds useful to have attached.

Cant say for sure what it is though by that photo.

Don't forget that it's gonna be cheaper to ship one large order then a dozen small orders ;)

Yeah, it is one l;arge order ;) I am getting all the brit kit from strikeforce, but he said like 1-2kg or something is 20pounds to shipp, so I have to ship in separate boxes, in total costing me *gasp* nearly 100 USD..... maybe more

I cant see the point in the stuff to be added later as it subtracts from the look you will already have with the Desert gear plus the PLCE vests normally sit on the hips unlike molle plate carriers. (Yes guys ive noticed the way plate carriers do that. but all my PLCE issue vest sit snugly on the hips so the weright is very nicely distributed.) so there wont be room for adding a hi tech gucci belt kit. But the original list sounds decent enough.
