paradoxum Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I had the genius idea of mounting the headset on the rear rail when I noticed they swivelled, more room now for the light and they can easily be swung back behind the helmet. The screws that attached them to the metal plates that go on the rails were too small though and enough pressure pulled them out, I ended up putting some self tapping slightly larger screws in and using a dremel to cut the bits protruding out the back off because I couldn't find perfectly sized screws or nails. Anyway recommended mod for those replica headset mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Druid799 Posted July 10, 2019 Supporters Share Posted July 10, 2019 Only problem i can see as there designed to be used vertically not angled almost horizontal like you’ve got them is A; your going to get a lot of noise bleeding in to the cups (rather defies the the point of the noise canceling function) and as they aren’t designed to be used in that orientation there going to press on your ears and get painful as hell very quickly . Sorry bud 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry bud 😢 I must have small ears because I thought of that and they fit as snug at the other way round, they're angled a bit - I was even thinking of trimming one side of the metal arms off and bending the other to get a better fit. Also I really need to sort out some replacement lenses for that mask because it fogs up just sitting down on the couch wearing it. It's also pretty hot and front heavy, battery pack in the back balances it but just think I'm gonna get a sore neck and end up roasting. Found this one last night and now I wanna get this - cost as much as the dang mask itself! And the base helm platform. https://www.weapon762.com/helmet/1921-tmc-super-flowing-helmet-light-version-with-modular-lightweight-mask.html?search_query=TMC+Super+Flowing+Helmet+Light+Version&results=1#/4-color-multicam Druid799 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d recommend getting some revision sawfly lense wipes , give the visor a once over before each game and it ‘should’ help a fair bit . Another thing you could try as well is drilling small holes in this area of the mask on both sides to increase the airflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradoxum Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Good suggestions but I've already just gone and returned the mask and helmet and will get that other one, will end up saving money and looks a lot lighter etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to need some modifications to make it safe though. I'm swapping the crap lense for mesh and wear my bolle Tracker 2s underneath and install a stiffer spring and a cover for the catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradoxum Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Almost finished my harness / belt, just waiting on a double grenade pouch and I'm set. https://imgur.com/a/ZkFMfpP Mostly Templars Gear stuff, 4x pistolmag pouches, 3x rifle, dump bag, knife, misc / binoculars bag, carabiner, medum hydration pack with 1l bladder, 2x large 'grenade' pouches for the M41A PR mags. BoaFeng radio mounted on the back of the hydration pouch. I've got a plate carrier I bought on the way a while back but I can't see how I'd need it - plus in this hot weather, y'know.

FreeFrag.UK Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 @paradoxum Very nice looking set up, it looks as though a lot of time, thought and effort have gone into it. Just out of curiosity, how long have you been in the game? I must admit I've got a game on Saturday and I'm contemplating pulling all the pouches off of my plate carrier and running my chest rig over the blank carrier.

I'm swapping the crap lense for mesh and wear my bolle Tracker 2s underneath and install a stiffer spring and a cover for the catch I did basically the same thing with one I had as a project , I used a motorcycle helmet visor cut to shape and then stuck adhesive Velcro around the catch , made a small panel out of shaped kydex to go over it and job done . Another thing you can do is drill a small hole horizontally through the top section where it hinges up and put an Allen key in it (a slightly larger one than the hole so it’s a tight fit and won’t come out by accident) no way that’s opening by accident! Ps you mite be hard pressed to get goggles underneath the visor , I have difficulty getting my normal glasses to sit comfortably and they have quite small frames as well .
