Obvious questions; where did you get the foam from and what tools did you use to cut it? Because that's looks as quality a finish as any others I've seen!

I'd like to think if your buying this kind of item you've got some idea of what it is your putting on your head and where it originates. Don't get me wrong, the seller is 100% the issue here, but I'd hope that anyone worth their salt spending (I'd expect quite a considerable) amount on a helmet to be aware of it's route to market. Unfortunately, there are still people rocking awful 6/6A's at formed Units, because there aren't enough of these (amongst other item's) in the system to do so, and it's definitely not helped by someone banging their kit on eBay at the end of their careers.

What's worse is it isn't a Mk7, it's a Virtus helmet and absolutely definitely shouldn't have been getting flogged on eBay. Even worse for buying it frankly...

Did I read that right, 11 Mags? Are you planning to invade anywhere nice?

Okay, so I can't pretend to understand the tech involved here but I can totally see why the guy in the video (@Skara) is claiming that is full auto. Because that is a fast RoF, arguably too fast really, for that environment.

Agree completely. Wouldn't even consider wearing a Plate Carrier for any activity without a Camelbak also, almost regardless of the weather conditions. It's amazing how quickly you can dehrydate on a day like today.

And then go for the hero sleeves and you've pretty much got the whole look nailed down, right?

Again, apologies. Put it down to being isolated in the arse end of nowhere and spending to long working with the Arty. They get all excited about the difference between Guns and Rifles... And it's unfortunately rubbed off on me a little.

Lost all credibility when you referred to the SA80 as a gun... EDIT: My apologises, that was a really spikey response and totally not helpful. Assuming your serving, as the the points you make are all totally valid, just got a nibble from me reference the obvious!

Conversion Kit for my last remaining WE Gen 1 M4 GBBR Magazine to bring it up to a hopefully less leaky Gen 2 standard!

Evening Gents, Well, you guys have a variety of backgrounds and experiences and perhaps one of you might be a PVC expert, who knows? Might spark some discussion on preferences anyway! Last year I had a set of Webbing custom made by a company in Colchester for work. Its been brilliant as yet, survived various Exercises/ Courses and hasn't failed me yet. However, it has one issue! The pouches, as good as they are, aren't brilliant at keeping water out. PLCE pouches are excellent as they are all lined with (I assume) thin PVC stitched to the inside. 2 of the pouches I got aren't (As I didn't select the option to at the time). there brilliant pouches with clips that make life so easy, but I think they would be made even better if they were PVC lined as per PLCE, it would help them to keep there shape when empty too. So, my question is, anyone have any idea what PVC material would be suitable for lining a webbing pouch? I'm handy enough with a sewing machine and I've got two weeks christmas leave coming up, got to fill my time with something! Cheers all, Liam

Only thing I can pick up, that doesn't require buying anything expensive, that hasn't already been mentioned is Helmet scrim. Not sure if there is a particular Herrick "No" your going for, but for 99% of deployed lads in the past couple of years its been scrimmed helmets (though don't ask me when that came into effect). The new helmet covers come with a bag of pre-cut scrim, but frankly it isn't enough to do even a quarter of the helmet. Not advising you cut up your trousers for it, but if you come across a buckshee/ruined set of PCS on eBay etc, worth a couple of quid to sort the helmet out. Liam

Got myself a WE Glock 17 Gen 4! Unnnfortunately, I'm 100 miles from it and am not home for the next 5 weeks. Bugger!!

Altberg Sneekers in Brown. Wouldn't even consider putting anything else near my feet, there absolutely mindblowingly good.

I was just about to suggest that. Literally just about to. Any experience with them?
