Blu, you have an m-size stt, right? I'll blow you if you could cut a 314х265mm swimmer cut cardboard plate and try to insert that. I really want the stt and still in doubt if my plates will fit.
Anybody know anyplace that is selling the ferro concepts dangled? Every place I find is sold out
>>30468873

Is that Mayflower APC kingshit?
Any good deal on ceramic plates?
>>30468873
Buy a belt and proper fucking holster
>>30468873
absolute shit, you could at least take enough note to set your gear up right when you stopped playing airshit
>>30468996
I have an ares belt and I ordered a custom holster over a month ago. Looks like i might not see it for a while longer considering canada post went on strike as soon as it shipped.
>>30469040
>Install those fucking community mailboxes just to shit on us
>Whenever I order anything that needs a signature they don't even come to my door, they just toss that "you can come pick your shit up tomorrow afternoon at this place" piece of paper in the mailbox
>Now they decide to go on fucking strike
Holy shit I fucking hate Canada Post
>>30468873
I swapped the cheapo buckles on my belt out with some better ones. I also added a Kydex holster and mag pouch to the belt.
>>30469083
>>30469040
yeah, they're pretty garbage tier.
worst part is they fucked up the other couriers by creating a influx of mail to them so fedex is taking 3 times as long to get me my shit from dstactical.
>>30469360
Wish I could get those pants in CADPAT, the Service battalion guys always horde the new issued stuff.
>>30469611
they do exist, but take proprietary kneepads
>>30469585
any other pics with that particular mask?
>pic unrelated
>>30469737
Does skeletor have more pictures with his mask? Seriously?
>>30469737
none really so far, I bought it to replace my old mask I thought I lost but of course I found the damn thing a couple days after I got that one.
I need to break that one in though
>>30469796
Is it a TAD nemesis mask?
>>30469830
naw, the green one is just some generic mask from alieexpress.
the original one I bought is claw gear or something, it's actually a really nice one just sadly not made anymore.
>>30469796
Is this the first time we're seeing you in MultiCam clothes?
>>30469877
well recently yes.
I still don't overly like multicam but when you get 580 dollar pants for 170 bucks you buy them and don't complain
>>30469917
>I still don't overly like multicam
Why not? For the record, I think it looks great.
>>30469937
for my area multicam Tropic works better is all.
>>30469973
I see.
Who else slingdings in here like based patmac?
>>30470097

>>30470161
I wonder what she tastes like.
>>30470161
I have, I really enjoy it. I mean I wouldnt spend a lot of money on it but 1500 is a decent amount for a 2.5-10 and a nightforce
Posting my shit /k/it
>>30470520
Looks fine to me, what are you using with it?
Also, anyone ever looked at those little pouches that the ACOGs come in and think "man, those would make great 30rd FAL mag pouches!". Because I'm probably going to be building a kit around those in the near future.
Does anyone have a PC and plates they want to sell?
>>30470907
Why not just buy a new one?
>>30470815
It's my kit for my AR

Still not much to say about it, save for the cleaning kit on the back of your belt.
Do you take the belt off whenever you need your cleaning supplies, or just fiddle about until you find the right tool?
>>30471252
Gor the cleaning kit I take it off but everything else I know how to get to and use it while in the prone or kneeling/taking cover

>>30471665
It just has no utility. Coyote, Ranger Green, and others help conceal. Camo patterns do an even better job. UCP is typically at least on sale because demand is so goddamn low. Black costs the same and sucks shit for concealment.

famous last words.
it wouldn't be as bad as ONLY a front plate, but ignoring vest distribution it's still a bad idea.
>>30472448
Your gear is looking good nowadays.
>>30472573
i removed chest panel and went back to 3 mags on the pc, admin pouch, and that's it

>>30473547
>>30473565
A-Tacs FG is a decent camo, but most A-Tacs gear is airsoft tier quality. If I was going to use a belt rig I think Russian Smersh would be a better choice.

Anybody /diy/ here?
Thinking about turning pic related into a chest rig. Would do the bandolier with a saw pouch on either side. Do you think I could just sew the three together, or would I be better off sewing them to a stripped chicom?
>>30473805
I've found a few good brands, but they all have drawbacks.
Warrior assault systems is one, high quality materials, good craftsmanship, but UK based, and they have a tendency to use 500D cordura for accessories. The harness and hydration pack on my rig are made by them. The pouches are made by Flyye. It's 1000D Invista cordura, with good, mil spec threading but it's still technically knockoff chinese stuff, even if the quality is good.
The main reason I bought from who I did is just because getting American tactical gear in Canada, especially in A-Tacs is ridiculous.
>>30470472
How do you like those mag pouches?
I need to setup some gear for 33 rd glock happy sticks.

Opinions on Strandhögg vs Seige R or RO? Money not an issue, have about 1k to blow on carrier/rig and level 4 plates. What's the difference between the two? I am a skinny fuck so which one would work better? General question I guess.
>Mayflower APC vs Shellback Banshee
Which should I get for babby's first PC? I have experience with armor with the Interceptor and MTV while in the Marines. Never had a smaller lightweight PC.
Or Grey Ghost Minimalist.
I'm an AKfag so I think the Minimalist might be too small to carry AK mags comfortably
>>30475511
Banshee is cheaper

>hurr durr is better cuz cheepurrr mosin best rifle y u need ar lol tard
Babby won't be able to tell the difference between banshee and apc. Tried both on at a based milsurp store, Banshee seemed slightly comfier and less bulky.
Minimalist is a different animal than ^ two. Both are going to have more padding and an actual cumberbund. If you need neither, Minimalist would be fine.

That's dumb as fuck.

Here's my loadout (still starting up) ACH with multi can cover, condor cr7 chest rig, with 6 ar mags and a baofeng radio, a shemaug, PSA mid length AR15 with dual aperture carry handle, goggles, tigerstripe adaptive camo, boots, and a belt
How did I do /K/

>>30474269
They're alright. The magazines don't bounce around. The flaps are backwards though.
>>30468380
All this gear looks so shiny and new
Gonna test my MSA Sordin Supreme Pro X today.
Let's hope they are as sweet as everybody says.
>>30475682
Maybe my bullshit detector is off, but for some reason I think you're being genuine/not just showing off airshit gear. So, here we go:
>ACH with multi can cover
Helmets really aren't something that civilians would find themselves needing in a firefight. That being said, there are two major reasons for owning one as a civilian:
1. It serves as a base for night optics or other devices.
2. You are legitimately planning on fighting in infantry combat. Legit infantry combat where flak from mortars and grenades, slamming your head on an MRAP, or pieces of a roof tumbling onto your head is a real concern.
>condor cr7 chest rig
Condor gear is very poor quality. With plates in, their gear sags and wears. The fabric isn't durable for real hard use.
>with 6 ar mags
Looks like standard GI mags? Yeah, those work. Make sure you have anti-tilt followers.
>baofeng radio
I'm hoping that you actually have a good understanding of how to use it and have others with whom you actually need to communicate with. If not, it's dead weight.
>shemagh
It's a scarf. It doesn't serve any major functions in actual combat, but they can be nice sometimes.
>PSA mid length AR15 with dual aperture carry handle
They're decent rifles. It'll work.
>goggles
Again, for what? Sandstorms, propwash? If their isn't a serious intended use, they're dead weight.
>tigerstripe adaptive camo
You mean clothes. It's All-Terrain Tiger so I'm guessing it's made by Tru Spec, which is decent. The pattern is fine, but type and quality of clothing is more important.
>boots
They look like some kind of black surplus military issue boots...which are terrible. If they're comfortable for you, fine, but most people on earth would say there are better options out there.
>belt
Yup, need one of those.
>How did I do /K/
4/10
You tried, your clothes, rifle, and mags are good. Your carrier will be fine if not subjected to hard use. Consider losing some extra weight that you do not need. You need a water source and IFAK.
>>30476424
They are indeed, especially if you get the gel ear upgrade. Battery removal is a bitch.
>>30476316
Holly shoot spending over 600 usd on rain pants.
Just need one more of these fucking ACOG pouches.
>>30474151
you can do it without sewing them together. Literally 550 cord the top and bottom of them. And you already know the bandolier has the bottom eyelettes specifically for making a chest rig.
>>30476553
600 dollars for a pair of "combat pants" is ridiculous. You can buy a brand new Glock for less than that. You better pray you don't tear those (I'm sure they'll fix them, but have fun with Canuck shipping times). Crye pricing is around where I set the line Why do people keep giving Dead Bird their money? I swear I'm starting to regard Dead Bird as a tactical fashion brand.
>>30476803
>Goretex
>combat
not if you want them lasting longer than a week.
The Arcteryx Atom LT jacket is the bomb, though.
>>30468950
Blu, hey, Blu?
>>30472291
Slipped on some spilt milk in walmart of course
>>30468950
As soon as i get home from work
>>30476630
That sounds like it would shift around constantly once loaded with weight.
I already know how to sew, I'm not gonna not sew it together. I can't imagine 550 cord is the /better/ option.
>>30470907
I have a UCP IOTV gen 3 with Ar500 SAPI size medium sitting in a closet I need to get rid of. $250.
>>30477284
What would you sell it for without plates, and does it have soft armor
>>30475643
where are you getting that the banshee is less bulky than the APC? that doesn't even make sense.
>>30473010
nice fanny pack
>>30477435
Drop me a burner email and I'll tell you. I got banned
Tiger stripe camo came in.
The vest I'm wearing is literal shit. Planning to get a better one in the future (got it a long time ago for airshit)
>Inb4 knee and elbow pads
>>30479373

>>30479427

>>30479447
That's entirely possible, Was buying oversized cammies just to make bane jokes part of your plan?
>>30479477
Nah. I just like my shit baggy. Leaves room for gains when I finally stop being a skeleton with hyper metabolism.

>>30475314
>What's the difference between the two?
Your a big guy read the decriptions of the product
> I am a skinny fuck so which one would work better?
It all depends on if you measure correctly, and how you like your PC.
I prefer balcs just for the extra protection.
>>30480516
I'm asking for experience not vauge product site descriptions.
>>30480648
>vague
The difference is the Strandhogg is a plate carrier and the Siege(s) are BALCS armor carriers. You need to decide if you want plates or plates + MBAV soft armor, or plates + BALCS soft armor. Then choose the carrier for your armor package.
>>30480673
this.
>>30476508
they came with gel. and battery removal will be tricky.
>>30476851
Goretex is fairly durable, and a pretty common material for military gear

>>30481339
At lest this guy's honest good on ya mate
>>30481347
lets see your gear then scrub
>>30481064
>Goretex is fairly durable, and a pretty common material for military gear
Go jump in a mud puddle several times in your pants.
Getting it caked in mud.
Throw it in the wash because the dirt prevents it from breathing
Repeat.
It won't last as long as regular nyco pants. Goretex was never intended to be used as fatigue, Goretex has a proper role, and that's in the Rain. Anything other than rain you're better off with water resistant clothing or BDUs
>>30481356
Just let me have my hobby in peace.
>>30481375
You mistake me for some one who thinks they need anything more the a rifle, go join the military for a few years or fuck the local police, at most all ya need is a vest and a fucked pocket braw
>>30481391
Naw man you're fine never said that there was anything wrong with it.
>>30481395
So, why'd you come to this thread then?
>>30481376
>Go jump in a mud puddle several times in your pants.
I've worn my jackets on the railway for work, getting mud all over them, rocks scraping against them for about 6 months. worst thing that happened was the goretex delaminated and I sent it in for warranty and got a brand new jacket.
they have their use in the winter since I'd rather have the snow/sleet not making my clothes wet and then making me get pneumonia and dying
>>30481395
But anon that's all I have really. My rifle sidearm, and vest. Are you mad that I have camo or something? I'll admit the pants are airsoft but everything else isn't. I think you're just projecting or something. Sorry to get your panties in a bunch.
>>30481407
Don't you know by now you're not to feed the troll fuck nuts , I do it because it's funny to see y'all react. I have nothing against airsoft, shit it's fun shooting kids and not going to jail for it, I also find the fuck load of gear you think you need. Like really the hell you going to need rope for, your ass ant climbing shit. So ya I do it for the laughs
>>30473010

>>30481470
>I also find the fuck load of gear you think you need.

Try getting a job and moving out of your parents' house for starters, little scrub
>>30481495
Not always twinkle fuck, depends on what's going on and there job, best loads a light load, care only what's needed, and for most of the people here that's a gravestone,because lets be honest with ourselfs here, most of you would get shit thinking running and gunning was a good idea.

So you playing dress up and posting on /k/ requires the same amount of shit? You can realize the difference between being a solider and someone like you who plays dress up in attempts to impress other 19yr olds, can't you?
>>30483094
I didn't have to use IOTVs much (thank god) except in stateside training where we had public visibility and were told to look "nice". That said, the IOTVs are pretty shit when it comes to mounting pouches, thanks to the shitty layout. If possible, I'd grab a TAP which allows you to lay out the magazines across the front in a way that isn't awkward.
Before I say anything else, what's in the square pouch on the left side? What are the two canteen pouches holding? Are you actually carrying handgun mags or something else in the small pouches? Does your command let you wear aftermarket pouches with a decent amount of freedom?
>>30483149

I'm having a hard time finding a good holster for my pistol, pic related. I want one that is compatible with the mounted surefire x400.
My pistol is a Para-Ordnance P14-15 CF Kandahar edition.
Oh and I'm left handed.

What kind of vest is that?

>i cant use a popular-ish blog system to follow gun and vidya blogs
aight
I just used it to transfer the image from my phone to my laptop. It was easier to do that than find the thread on my phone since I already had it up on here.

> I'd grab a TAP which allows you to lay out the magazines across the front in a way that isn't awkward.
We were issued those, but I found them bulky beyond all fuck and more annoying to use than just MOLLE-ing pouches on. I would use it if we had to wear our kit inside our tanks (so I could just snap it off inside, snap it on outside), but we don't, so I don't.
>what's in the square pouch on the left side?
IFAK. Newer version where it's velcroed shut, so you just need to pull the tab and the whole thing comes out.
>What are the two canteen pouches holding?
In the field, gloves and eyepro and other small handy gear. On the range, snacks.
>Are you actually carrying handgun mags or something else in the small pouches?
Yup
>Does your command let you wear aftermarket pouches with a decent amount of freedom?
So long as they're the same pattern. The pistol mag pouch on the chest is aftermarket since supply never issued the literal pile of pouches they have hiding in a connex
>>30483094
You could just run your straw under the velcro on your shoulder, its not going to mess with the QR or anything.
Maybe take off one of the canteen pouches, slap it on your med ruck or assault pack. Speaking of removing stuff, does your CO make you guys wear your collars, if not I'd ditch them. Anytime you go to a school you'll be running as slick as possible.
>>30475643
I need medium plates senpai
>>30483333
>In the field, gloves and eyepro and other small handy gear. On the range, snacks.
You don't need a pouch specifically for that stuff, it's taking up valuable space. Your vest should have as little crap on it as possible.
If you want to keep the gloves with the vest, hook them on a d-ring instead of a pouch. Eyepro in a case on the d-ring for storage, or just hooked through the MOLLE somewhere.
Snacks in a bag on the range.
I noticed you are wearing two canteen pouches, are they really both full of junk? If so, ditch one, and keep the other as your eventual NOD pouch.
>Are you actually carrying handgun mags or something else in the small pouches?
>Yup
Keep the handgun mags with the handgun. That means either on your normal belt, or on a duty/rigger/battle belt you are using to carry the handgun. I would recommend a duty or battle belt so you can start doing that first line concept.
>So long as they're the same pattern. The pistol mag pouch on the chest is aftermarket since supply never issued the literal pile of pouches they have hiding in a connex
Good. Given your restrictions, your layout isn't terrible. But I'd definately swap out the triple mag shingles for aftermarket ones, since the issued ones suck. Get whatever, possibly bungie tops, just something nice and tight.
Getting rid of one canteen pouch will also slim down your right side which will make drawing a handgun easier. Flat admin pouch on the chest if you need it for a notebook, pens, or other things which are needed, needed quickly, and often needed.
>>30483094
you better hope that illiterate brown people in mud huts are the only ones you ever have to combat.
>>30483143
>Cut those fucking sleaves off, JESUS!
No, I am not cutting off my sleeves. The shirt is fine as it is.
>Where are your sup burns?
What? Suppressor burns? I'm not sure what you mean, please clarify.
>Cut your riggers belt.
No, I am not cutting my riggers belt either. If I were to cut it, the stitching will go to hell even if I were to try and sear it. The belt was ordered as a small and that's just the way it fits. It will be switched out for something better.
>And for fucks sake put that shit brand turn q below the mags.
Why? It's fine where it is.
>>30483167
>Oh, and the nod retention bungee hooks go in the slit on the bottom of the mount.
You do realize that I replaced the Ops Core VAS shroud with a Wilcox W4 shroud, right? If you were able to calm down, you would have noticed that. The W4 doesn't have slots on the bottom either.
Why does it even matter where I place my hooks (less than an inch difference)??
>>30483348
>Speaking of removing stuff, does your CO make you guys wear your collars, if not I'd ditch them. Anytime you go to a school you'll be running as slick as possible.
Yeah they're command required. Otherwise I'd do what I did in basic where half the company weren't even issued collars, and I could just skate by without it on.
>>30483491
>1st bit
Ok, makes sense. I had them on my medium at first, then put them back on when I realized I can't store shit. Putting them back on I guess
> But I'd definately swap out the triple mag shingles for aftermarket ones, since the issued ones suck. Get whatever, possibly bungie tops, just something nice and tight.
I don't really mind them. They're a bitch to button up, but I'm not going to be the only guy going out spending money on shit I won't use for a long while.
>Flat admin pouch on the chest if you need it for a notebook, pens, or other things which are needed, needed quickly, and often needed.
I keep those in my pockets. They're needed often enough that it's better to have them on me at all times, not just kitted up.
>>30483663
That's why I'm trying to improve it instead of assuming my shit isn't all retarded.
Hey /gqt/
Is there any gear that resembles pic related?
>>30483743
Nah dude sleeves are stupid.
Looks to clean.
As in cut it into little pieces and get a man's belt.
You're right leave it, i guess it has a plastic windlass anyway.
Use the replacement bungees with the mini non lock beaners instead.
>>30483848
Looks like some kind of patrolling harness.
>>30482919
>Rifle shit
Nyet rifle is fine
>Optics are shit
Optics are fine, EOkek shittery aside. It's hot as balls over here but it hasn't effected my zero.
>Uniform is 2 sizes too large
I took my measurements, this was the best I could do. Please do explain what is wrong with a baggy uniform.
> you've rolled up your sleeves but you're still wearing elbow pads
If I was actually outside my sleeves would be down. Just wanted to show them.
This anon >>30482622 is obviously just starting out yet you just say his stuff is shit. Maybe you should suggest an optic or something.
You have bad taste in weapon furniture (a tan stock, really?) , and are a cowitness TOB-fu tripfag.
>>30483828
>I don't really mind them. They're a bitch to button up, but I'm not going to be the only guy going out spending money on shit I won't use for a long while.
I hate those pouches with a passion. I can't fault for not wanting to spend lots of cash for training. If you deploy, definitely swap them out.
>I keep those in my pockets. They're needed often enough that it's better to have them on me at all times, not just kitted up.
The admin pouch was just a suggestion if you need more small things, but if you can keep them all in your pockets, that's good.
The most important thing is to make sure your vest doesn't get cluttered with shit that doesn't need to be there. That's why having gloves or pouches or whatever on it makes no sense. Importance number one is to keep junk off the vest.
I would strongly advise getting a standalone belt for your handgun and moving the mags to that belt. It clears the belt and it keeps ammo for a specific weapon with that weapon. I would potentionally say that at that point you can put your multitool and flashlight on that belt as well, and you have a handy little firstline.
I would keep electrical tape in one canteen sidepouch, and some extra NOD batteries in the other. Pick yourself up a headlamp for use around the FOB (or FTX, as it were). Doesn't have to be expensive, just something with a filter on it. You need something hands-free not attached to a helmet.
I would absolutely, 100% spend the ~$60 to upgrade your helmet straps to Ops-Core ones and make your life much easier.
For buying gear, don't always go new. Check out surplus shops near base for cheap pickups.
The canteen pouch that is being removed from your vest would be decently served being attached to your pack with a canteen (DO buy this new!), as a canteen is a very handy way to have an extra water source that's easy to refill on the go.

>implying anything's wrong with having your thumb over the bore-line
>>30483949
TOB is unnatural as fuck (atleast to me, to each their own), and doesn't work with everything. I remember some video on YouTube mentioning how it could potentially fuck you over, but I know little of any credibility of that claim.
What's a good pattern for going innadesert?
>>30484086
Ya know, a desert pattern. They're mostly pretty great. I personally like Marpat Desert.

Enjoy your lack of stealth.
>>30468380
Yo blu where is that buckle you said you were going to send?
Wish you all a happy 4th of July
Someday I will get my sordin 75316
>>30483920
have any links to something like it?
What about the vest?
>>30484559
I meant the vest. It's kinda like the First Spear Patrolling Harness or maybe the Modox Turtle. It's kind of an older style design, so I'm not that aware of the specifics.
>>30483848
Google "Molle harness" and you'll find a hundred pieces of kit like it.
Hell, even my harness at >>30473565
has similarities.
>>30483848
It is a "SEAL CQB LBV" style harness. I know only that it is called this, not if it was actually ever issued to SEALs, as they generally seemed to sport standard LBVs, ALICE, or SPEAR equipment.
>>30484480
funny enough I just got a free pair of peltor comtacs.
guess I finally need to buy a radio
>>30484656
>>30484592
Any idea about the rest?
Gloves/boots? Elbow and knee pads?
I'm pretty sure the holster is generic but I could be wrong since I'm really new to this.
>>30484656
the back doesnt look the same
also the pouches dont match but for the most part it looks like it sort of
>>30484750
That has a hydration pouch installed on it. Underneath is a standard layout LBV rear.
The pouch layout of a modular CQB vest is, well, modular. The pictured layout is pretty clearly imitated the setup of old Blackhawk vests though, if you care.
As for the boots and gloves and shit, that picture is tiny as fuck, and I'll bet the artist didn't have brandnames in mind for that stuff.
>>30484666
Nice try Satan
Jesus is my frequency
Jokes aside
Do you guys have to deal with the equivalent of any FCC licensing junk?
Are you planning on picking up anything Gucci?
>>30484666
How did that end up happening?
>>30484798
I think there is, honestly I havent looked into it much but like I said some guys giving me his for free.
and not overly soon, I just bought two more pairs of combat pants from arcteryx, one in crocodile and one in black
>>30484816
>put a knife up for sale
>dude says he wants to buy it but is currently out in the field for a ex
>wait over a month till this guy comes back
>says he'll offer me anything in the USSOCOM supply chain as a token of gratitude for holding the knife for him
obviously I cant get super gucci shit like optics or anything for free but I can source rarer shit like Patagonia combat clothing through him, or like I said a free pair of comtacs.
if anyone knows of some cooler nylon, clothing, or other small items I could get lemme know.
>>30484839
Lucky duck. where do you get the contacts?
If you could get a Crye lv-mbav those go for oodles of cash.
>>30484779
Any idea where I can get gloves and boots like that? Never seen something like that.
Also not sure but the camo is just some urban grey generic right?
Thanks for the help btw
>>30484839
Holy fuck get some crye pants in some gucci camo pattern and sell them on ebay and finance your next gun purchase.
>>30484921
The camo is a grey version of DBDU, which is the sort of knockoff that exists and gets sported in places like Iraq. The boots have some kind of generic gator on top which is why they look weird.
>>30477284
Multiple plates or just one cause I'm interested in the plates
>>30472448
Are those Zulu double m4 mag pouches?
>>30484666
Pls sell
Pls
I need dual comm headset and supply chain is dicks
>>30468380
dude looks like he's trying to sell some gamer gear desu
>>30481452
Ignore him, there's always one fucker who tried to point something out as airsoft.
Just go the the AK general thread. Someone never heard of Zenitco furniture for AKs.
>>30480393
