I don't know. Im used to running about with full plce webbing, patrol pack, weapon and on many occasions that was either lsw or sa80 and a small house...i mean mk6 helmet on. Not much fun when you have a couple of litres of water, a days rations, ammo etc in the patrol pack aswell as whats on your webbing. So the osprey etc feels pretty light in comparison. Should probably also mention. I topped out at 16 stone in weight last year.Hit the gym/diet routine at the start of this year and am now 14 and half stone. So a lot fitter and lighter than i was too! (not that i was ever over 12.5stone in the reserves, but that was 11 years ago now)

Give me time seniorspaz. I have to buy myself an ICS l85 and all the bits to bring it up to afghan spec and we know how expensive that gets!. Will eventually add a glock and holster to the loadout too. Second gun will be a DMR but thats not gonna happen until atleast next year and will be l129a1 which at the moment means another custom build.

I dread to think how much its cost so far but a rough breakdown. Osprey mk4a+ 3 single mag open top pouches, 2 utility pouches, medic pouch, 2 ap grenade pouch, 9mm pistol mag pouch, ancillaries kit and camelbak around £145. (it has the half size neck armour but i don't use that as i keep mine as 'fighting order'. Then theres the mtp clothing and shemagh and rigger belt about £50. Haix high liability boots were £65 Oakley gloves £35 Ess advancers were £25 Mich2002+helmet cover+dragon accessories kit £65 So without all the postage thats around £385.....sheesh..think i need to go have a lie down now! Edit- ah yes, i have seen the videos, read the build log on here by airsoft ed/bullet4myenemey. I have been watching a lot of his videos on his channel over the last week.

As it says on the box. Just posting up to say hi. I'm new to the forum and new to airsoft. You may have seen my name crop up on a couple of forums or fb. I made the decision to jump into airsoft a few weeks ago and since then i have been buying the various bits and pieces to complete my first loadout. Initially i am going for a british late afghan conflict load out and will be playing my first ever airsoft game this sunday at Skirmish Norwich I hope to eventually get myself an Ics L85a2 and apply all the afghan spec mods to it including an elcan sight etc. But thats a ways off in the future when i have my ukara registration and more importantly the finances to buy it all. Over the last few weeks i have been selling a load of old hobby stuff to fun my airsoft journey. At this point i am just waiting on the arrival of my Nato deployment bag to ba able to carry all my gear, my camelbak and a 'helmet accessories kit' from Draon supplies (black band,olive scrim net and srim strips) to finish off my basic load out. I opted for a mich2002 helmet as opposed to a mk7 as morally i wont pick a mk7 up until it becomes genuine surplus (guys out there on the front line need them more than me!). And i hate the mk6 having worn it for 6 years!. Outside of airsoft i work for specsavers...so expect the banter every time i miss a shot to consist of 'should have gone to spec savers' no doubt lol. I'm a dad to 4 girls a little boy. Prior to airsoft i spent a good few years playing tournament paintball as well as having 2 seperate 3 year stints in the Territorial Army as a Royal Green Jacket. So yeah...err thats me. Hi all and well this is me in my load out as it stands right now (have ESS advancers for eye pro and a lower mesh mask that i dont get on with at all!) The current state of my sudo mk7 (mich) helemt. The helemt needs work and i am hoping the kit from dragon will help with that when it arrives.

I used to live out MK way a while ago.If your looking for army surplus kit, there was a good store in Stony Stratford on the main high street. Might be worth checking it out.
