That'll be becuse it was a (I assume Viper) Repro one. Having owned both copy and real M83 vests the real is leagues above the copies in absolutely everything I carry a mix of 5.56 R4 mags and 7.62 AK47 mags and both fit fine into my mag pouches. The AK ones are a little harder to get in but then again they are bigger. The dividers on them are also a lot better than the dividers on British kit you can have one mag in either slot and it wont bounce all over the place. I have to say they are possibly one of the best military sets of large scale issue gear (the whole M83 package) ever created with British Paras using the chest rig even in 2008 and possibly later... bearing in mind it came into service in 1983

Here's my South African M87 Kevlar helmet with S2000 cover

Well I was looking pretty much as African as possible... What gear and guns were you running?

Here are some pics form the weekend SANDF - Congo 2013-2014 Recce Inspired loadout (wrong camo trousers)

Hi All, Here is my review of RIFT's new site "The Ridge" http://fireteamzuluairsoft.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/viceroys-sitereview-rift-airsoft-ridge.html Enjoy!

Just got back from war and peace, didn't spend too much but more then I was planning on! SADF Nutria Aapjas (winter coat) S2000 SANDF Body warmer (gilet) S2000 SANDF patrol cap Repro French F1 cap UN Cap SANDF South Africa Flag patch British army camping bed oh and lots of beer!

Nice! I'll have been there since the 12th so I can give you my number if you need help getting around.. we're also doing rides in the Buffel!! An airsoft one or a real deac one? I wouldn't mind betting it'd be cheaper to get one online, but you never know if someone has one for sale

Thats basically a cheap Chine vest.. £42 to me seems high for one and I wouldn't bet on it lasting too long And what people have said, ask BEFORE you buy

I'm going for the whole thing with a SA LHG!! If anyone form AF-UK is going come buy the SA Forces LHG camp and say hi! Would be nice to meet some other members Also if you're in need of refreshment I think we've got a Saffa beer for sale! Teddy, public transport should be fairly easy as its right next to a train station

@Blackdeath To be fair you look like you could apply for the role of the Mountain of GoT and I'm fairly sure your arms are bigger than my face!

I usually have a private purchase USMC holdall from San Diego which is 100 odd litres and a SA M83 Bergan as well.. and sometimes a small day sack for value bits or bits likely to get broken. I normally take a couple a rigs with me and bits to fill them out

Yea because ti was replaced with crimes like .. ya know.. theft

Haha, well I do need a gap year job.. is Angola still kicking off As for the Mk.7 point, you would make an absolute killing if you could borrow a Mk.7 for enough time to make a mould

Haha don't worry there will be pics up! I still need to order them as it turns out they're really, really expensive

I think there was a period of a year or so when MTP clothing had come out but the Mk.4s and Mk.7s were still not widely issued Apart form the M4 nothing look immediately incorrect with your loadout, if you stik it on the British Forces Loadouts page on FB you'll get some really good help with it

Thats absolutely excellent!! Really good job there, I wouldn't have noticed the difference with the covers on and I'm really picky when it comes to loadouts You might want to share it on the British Forces Loadouts page on facebook as I'm sure they'll be interested As for the weight thing talked about earlier, I'm looking forward to running my SA kit with M87 (similar to PASGT) and full plates, gonna be fun!!

Reminds me of the British kit from ArmA II BAF

I used to have a load out based on USMC FR from ArmA I I and it was really good.. but sold the RRV as I needed more African kit

Haha yea, people get criticised for not having good kit and people get criticised for having good kit Also back to cavninja's point, a lot of modern impressions are desert based, there really aren't many woodland impressions so therefore not much cam cream needed

These make up a large amount of my pre-game driving playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU6eudd9nu8&list=PLAcoAOASkZc6hzw_Nzu8m2ZeQcOiSIpMI Love this one

If I had said US (or any other MOLLE using nations) kit was common because a lot of people use MOLLE rigs then yes but I didn't. A Viper SAAV doesn't make something African like MOLLE doesn't necessarily make it American What I meant was that MOLLE is by far the most common form of rig/load bearing and Bulle and Condor rigs aren't exactly as rare as a LBT RRV etc

That is exactly the same case with my African kits.. once you build one loadout its fairly easy to make it into others

Okay so MOLLE.. wouldn't exactly say uncommon Uncommon would be a Fereday and Sons chest rig
