Oops!

That's a good uniform, but it's army not VDV (unless the PGM are VDV but i expect it'll be decades before we know for certain who they are). Sergei has at least 1 6B7-1M helmet going very cheap on grey-shop too, although it apparently has damaged straps - check redzone.com.pl also for cheap covers for it...
I thought it was confirmed that the PGM are VDV? I have seen recent videos of VDV using digi flora as well

 
A cheap as chips CYMA AK style rear sight and spring combo off Ebay, £8.50. Beats paying £25 for an ICS or LCT one!

 
You may well be right about the PGM, Zak - tbh the morphine seriously saps my will to consume news: it's a weird combination of feeling simultaneously indifferent to most of what is going on, but also irritated that when something does pique my interest i can barely be arsed to do sufficient research to explore enough breadth of opinion that I feel confident in drawing even a tentative conclusion of my own...

Yeah VDV do wear Digiflora but it's the cut of the uniform i'm on about - I'm pretty sure the kecks are the same (although I wouldn't be surprised if the VDV have retained the thin pocket for a fighting knife as it's an esprit de corps thing), but the VDV top is a more modern cut with elasticated wrists and velcro, whereas the army top is a standard BDU. But at this time of the year it's all about the Gorka...

Edit to add: Smersh are very comfortable once you get them adjusted nice and tight - the only issue I have with them is very few small pouches for separating things which would be difficult to sort out of a utility pouch full of all sorts of sweets, primers, speedloader/s, multitool, chewing gum, tape, cable ties, BFG pins, fags, lighter, etc., in a hurry and/or without spilling/losing tat in the field... plus, if you want to put a hydro-bladder in the butt pack, you have to move it up onto the H-straps or the tube doesn't work as a syphon, so you'd have to suck a whole tube of air before every time you drink, and it seems pretty rare to see Russians wearing it like that...

Keep us posted on how long it takes to get here, please Tac? And if the order items are fully correct also - there was some chatter on fb recently that Sergei had made a few cock ups... I'd imagine that he's well aware of ppl slagging him off mind, as he is a member of RMAL-UK, so he'll probably pull his finger out.

It's estimated to be 2-3 weeks although it will probably get here earlier. I'll keep you posted!

Also, do you have any idea where I might be able to find real RPK-74M furniture?

That's a very generous estimate. Most of my orders from there have taken on average a month or sometimes more to arrive.
That said my last order with them was three months ago. Hopefully Sergei has improved things since then.

 
Well I took advantage of UK Tac's 20% off all warrior products deal and I got:

- Warrior tan riggers belt.

- Blackhawk serpa CQC glock holster.

- Warrior tactical black pistol lanyard.

- Warrior double pisol mag pouch olive drab.

- Warrior subdued union jack patch.

- Mechanix original covert black gloves.

- Helikon olive drab baseball cap.

- WE glock magazine.

Most of the items above were from UK tac. Another tiny step closer to completing my loadout; Battlefield inspired, of course! :D

Nah mate... CYMA RPK-74 midcaps are 140rnds*, it's the hicaps that hold 800.

*even then, from new, you have to oil the spring and stuff them to the gills a fair few times to get the springs working well enough to hold that many.
