Lerch Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 ISAF being the force in Afghanistan I'd say stick a Camelbak on the vest and crush the hat and you're looking the part Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) 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) Grim Edited September 10, 2008 by Grim Link to post Share on other sites
buzzsaw Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Nice job Grim, it's certainly a very unique angle on a British loadout. Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) If i wasnt going to use my top cover load out on sunday i would use this one. i dunno i might throw it in my patrol pack incase the full osprey gets to hot and uncomfortable Grim Edited September 10, 2008 by Grim Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I swear my amazons must be the filthiest desert boots ever ive never seen any one with boots as filthy as mine. Nice Lid angel. Grim Link to post Share on other sites
Lerch Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) I got dinged for this on MP.net, but it seems that the elastic and oft cut off if using a net overtop the cover. Otherwise it looks like the sandy copy of my Mk6 Edited September 10, 2008 by Lerch Link to post Share on other sites
Maveric Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) sounds like a challenge to me!! *runs off to get boots* Nice Lid Edited September 10, 2008 by Maveric Link to post Share on other sites

Domz Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Angel whats the "rubber helmet band", thats a home made I take it? http://www.konstipation.com/stuff/walt/sas/afghan/iok15u.jpg In that pic the middle guy has something on his magwell, any ideas?

Grim Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) 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. Grim Edited September 10, 2008 by Grim Link to post Share on other sites
tom lawson Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Angel whats the "rubber helmet band", thats a home made I take it? http://www.konstipation.com/stuff/walt/sas/afghan/iok15u.jpg In that pic the middle guy has something on his magwell, any ideas? http://www.commandarms.com/product.asp?pID=36&cID=43 Those are the magazine couplers that 'they' use predominately, it took me ages to find them!

The Quarter-master Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Looks like a readymag to me, i know they are in use. type it in on WGC No. 6&7 on the page But it could be a mag coupler for all i know. Edit:cos i don't be very good at the computery stuff Edited September 10, 2008 by The Quarter-master Link to post Share on other sites
-Angel- Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Angel whats the "rubber helmet band", thats a home made I take it? Like grim says, it holds the netting in place and stops wear/bumps damaging the helmet or cover. Plus its ally . Link to post Share on other sites
Domz Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 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! Link to post Share on other sites
L_T Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 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. Link to post Share on other sites

Lerch Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Don't forget that it's gonna be cheaper to ship one large order then a dozen small orders Link to post Share on other sites
Vercingetorix Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) 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. Grim Edited September 12, 2008 by Grim Link to post Share on other sites
