Enid_Puceflange Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 So, last year I was struggling to get a PC that fitted me..... I staggered into eBay and stumbled into this one here It is labelled inside and branded , even serial numbered 001 !! The website address for the maker is down and no longer exists, I cannot find anything out about the makers of this Plate Carrier I add it didnt come with pouches nor plates and was a UK sale It also has a removable collar, a bit like a bomb disposal suit number 😎 I don’t want to sell it, I’m just intrigued about the lack of info about the brand & the serial number (if it’s genuine) www.firstchoicearmor.com Has anybody any ideas of where I can dig up information 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DrAlexanderTobacco Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 E: Attached is one of their catalogues from 2006 - Your plate carrier, or the armor that was supposed to go in it, is a "Millennium Flex" brand, found via the model number (MF10NS) What I'm stuck on atm is figuring out whether that's the style as well - the code MF10NS is the official NIJ model number, and I found a New York state document talking about the following models using MF10NS: Thin Blue Line™ Level IIIA - Standard Sizes Thin Blue Line™ Level IIIA - Custom Size VIKING ENFORCER™ TACTICAL VEST HOSTAGE RESCUE™ (HRV) TACTICAL VEST VORTEX SGT™ TACTICAL VEST FIRST RESPONSE 1™ TACTICAL VEST METRO PRO 1™ TACTICAL VES HAAV Plus™ TACTICAL VEST 4 x 4 PCS - LE (Plate Carrier System) TACTICAL VEST VORTEX™ 4 x 4 PCS - LE TACTICAL ARMOR VEST - K-9 I appreciate that doesn't narrow it down per se but I was bored and this was fun - they're hard to google for so maybe you'll find some more info on which one you've actually got FWIW - all armour vests listed are $1000 minimum, new, to give you an idea of price back then FCA_06Catalog_PRINTED.pdf 3520521800pl_lotii.pdf E: What they said VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropeyshep Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Looks like these guys bought it or were involved along the way: https://www.roncoconsulting.com/about/facilities/afghanistan/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enid_Puceflange Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Thanks Lads Very interesting reading, I wonder if I have some sort of Prototype here , as it doesn’t look like any of the models in the catalogue I may get round to removing the pouches tomorrow to allow “naked” pictures 👍 cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
