Been on a wee bit of a splurge.

Tokyo Marui MWS and 3 extra mags

Complete set of Irish Army camo - which is really expensive and rare as its illegal for anyone in Ireland to sell it or wear it unless in the Irish military.  The Irish Government also holds the licence so only Arktis do any copies as they supply the Army Ranger Wg and its really expensive from them.  £85 for a pair of trousers!!

The smock I picked up is much much better than our issued British kit, waterproof lined from the get go.

Now you need an aug to make the loadout complete ?

 
Tan Fab Defense G21 holster for my Glock, fits like a glove and delivery from Israel was just over a week.

Hmm, I wonder if this'll put me on a watch list somewhere??? ?

 
Cytac molle adapter for my dtd.

But guess what, it doesn't fit my Emerson belt because its molle is off spec on the sides (has small panels instead of a uninterrupted strip of nylon)..

So I guess I'm going to sell the belt and look for another one -.-

Or I could mod the adapter, cheaper and easier option really..

I'd definitely go with the modding.

This is kinda why I vowed to stay away from replica gear for the most part. You spend your money, and you get something that's either out of spec from the word go, or lasts about a month, and then you buy another.

Cheaper genuine gear will usually trump cheaper replicas trying to be gucci bits of kit. You might spend a little more, say £45 vs £20, but if you're only buying it once, it's worth it.

Everything I have on that belt (apart from 2 pouches) is RS btw xD

Since I'm ignorant and uneducated, I just zip tied the adapter onto the belt :P

problem solved, and when I finally find a decent real steel belt that fits my needs, I will still have an unmodded adapter to use :)

Nothing ignorant or uneducated about zip ties (and various types of tape!) After my clumsy arse stripped screws out of my stock tube on my TM, that was held together with a combination of both for a while!

Not trying to be a snob or anything like that, just stung too many times by Chinese products!

A looky boy, and more Sugru. Attempt no.2 at sugruing my grip, first attempt looked gash.

This time I've dremeled off the finger groove, and put some sugru on the grip, and some on the trigger guard. I'll let them cure separately, then hopefully I can still get the motorgrip off easily.

Do you have any experience or knowledge around this unit at all? Seems well priced?

Unfortunately not I'm afraid. I was going to suggest Scott's county but their pricing seems to of shot up unless I'm mistaken?

 
Managed to get another Pelicase for all my gear to go alongside my gun case, and replaced my knackered storage crate from B&Q!

You know when you check the dimensions of something online and figure 'That'll be fine' only to realise when it gets delivered how bloody big it is! ?

It'll do the job, and will more than likely turn heads in the safe zone...

Doubles up as a coffee table!

Very nice, which model no. Is that? Looking for something similar.
