Nickona

theres apparently one in reading as well

Whats the marshalling, gameplay, players like?

Heard they are rubbish and their membership comes with discount at SAS haha.

cheers, I recently found out they were quite close to me but then realised I'd never heard of them so probably not a good sign

Just cut up a roll mat, sorted.

I used magazines. Heavy as fook though

Thanks Mack it was J-Tac

I actually needed him for something else but couldn't remember his name just knew he did foam plates

Pictured you as a Rightguard kind of guy Nick, but if Lynx is what you like! lol

I so would if I hadn't scored one for almost no money a couple of weeks ago!

I know a guy who might be interrested...

I say more so for historic as there was less gear issued so it was used more.. I say this because my Nutria combats are far too clean and unfaded (they're brand new) to be seen in the African bush in the 1980s

Yeah, they would have seen the intense african sun, sand, aswell as combat conditions, sweat, sometimes blood and being worn for days at a time maybe more. Hard for us to compete with our 7 hour skirmishes in a somewhat muddy fields lol.

I wear my underwear for seven days or more at a time, then its just a dip in a nearby puddle and a thorough airing in the garden. I'll sell a pair to you for £200? Genuine issue Tesco gear?

yea I do but it looks like ti'll all just cost too much to get it an my Galil up to a decent standard

Sell one to pay for the other?

yea that looks like what I'm going to need to do

I'm also tempted by a pair of the classic rhodie short-shorts

copy and paste the link. It's about a group buy of rhodie gear they are putting together.

oh yea I saw that, didn't seem like much was happening with it though

I'm there on the Saturday with a couple mates. First time going so hoping for a good day!

I'll be there on the saturday or the sunday, unsure which yet. EI are gonna be there Nick, we might be able to nab a bargain on some USMC kit that'll send the geardo's on arneys running under their rocks!

Haha well I and some others from FTZ should be going Sat as well

Ultimately though, what do you feel more at home in, and what suits your site best? I felt a right tard in my TFB loadout it just wasnt for me, and only really suited CQB. My FR kit on the other hand, I feel right at home in and I change a few bits to suit any scenario

I don't really want, its just the cost of finishing it is a fortune! The thing is the loadout isn't finished and won't be for a while and even then people are bound to find holes with it.. its just not been a very satisfying build.

What I might do is keep it but just not worry about it for a while..

Yeah probably best Nick, in all honestly if you just turnt up at site, most people wouldnt know much about force recon etc anyway. I'm just going to get the basics down like vest, weapon and helmet. Any little details likr the belt kit and that I'll buy when and IF I have the spare cash

It's because there are fewer "experts" regarding older kit.

Everyone thinks they're a know it all with modern stuff because they think CoD and the clips from the news are representative of entire armies.

Having trouble with the Force Recon loadout Nick? I dont post on that thread anymore I just watch and learn. Had one idiot tell me ALICE webbing was a vest etc even though he was wrong and then proved wrong. The Namsoft community are very helpful and welcoming I've found, as are those on Red Alliance.

Yea Teddy.. I kind of get the feeling they don't want more people doing their loadouts unless its absolutely 100% perfect. whereas on the Rhodie/SADF thread we love it if someone shows an interest! In my time looking I've only ever seen one nerly accurate SADF R4, most just run straight Galils because its easier and everyone understands the parts are hard to find so no one cares. But imagine trying to use a normal M4 instead of a L119 on a UKSF thread, you don't get anywhere...

would hit the like button..... merry christmas!

doing any of those is expensive just on it's own!

Well luckily there are bits of all of them that are commish, like MARSOC and SEALs of the era I'm looking at both use MBSSs, DCU is shared between UKSF and SEALs but still its a lot!

I am also cutting corners on a few of them, like the weapon as I'll be using my M249 for all of them for the UKSF is more SFSG

I did look a a way to do plaster but seems quite difficult.. I assume if you filled the sand to he very top it wouldn't move about..

It'd probably leak out one way or another, could get punctured if you like on something sharp

that something sharp would have to go through my MBSS, then PACA and then plastic while making a big enough hole to let sand leak.. not really a concern

Not yet unfortunately, its not 100% accurate to real life as its based of ArmA 2 but its nearly there. Still need ALICE belt though. ALso most ofit inc all the MARPAT was got from the MCX in Camp Pendleton

ALICE belt's are quite easy to get hold of, think I got mine from flecktarn for 7 quid. Can anyone shop at the MCX?

cheers I'll have a look. Kinda, you just need to be with someone who has a military ID

Here's the just giving page: http://www.justgiving.com/Nick-Clark-Bryan

Probably busy complaining about something.

so close to getting an ICS galil....

Keep it up buddy!

bit old skool? what do you think of it?

i did have the trousers a long time ago

Almost there only £102 to go

when i went, it was a bunch of blokes with cetme's, and that was last year!!

While i was there is was mainly G3s around Nairobi

g3's, cetme same thing, loved how the female police had mp 5's!!

good god what is that!

Kenya^^

seems about right

G&P Mk46 has quite a bad issue with the barrel assembly and retention, just keeps slipping forward so the hop and gearbox aren't joint together properly.

Stops it feeding, causes misfeeding and the air seal drop makes it shite.

Can't believe there's such a big issue with a £600 gun.

Well my box mag had an issue which I'm getting sorted, but luckily the site had some ones for sale so bought a new one

But the amount of firepower this thing can put down is ridiculous!!!

still trying to find a suppler that sells at a reasonable price

haha, yea thats the issue, might be worth looking East..

yes that's the plan

If I did I would plan on using it in a skirmish, so kinda asking how they perfom as I've heard some horror stories of Ares stuff beofre

O wouldn't touch ares, I think their lmgs even have plastic gearboxes

Yea I think it does have a plastic gear box
