This picture dates from OIF 1-2 (2003-2004)

Yea, I don't see any pics or vids of the marines of 07 using any LBV's anymore they just stick to there OTV, Vince where did you get ur OTV from?

pm'ed ;)

does anyone make any interceptor replica's ? i dont really want to pay the full price for a vest that only stops BB's

Replica goes almost for the same price than the real stuff. So why go for crappy stuff when you can get mil issue gear?

Are you looking for CB, Woodland, 3Clr or ACu

Let me know, I have some good places in the States for any kind ;) (this is what happens when you had 5 IBA at one point...)

CB is Coyote Brown right?

then its CB, where in the states? how much do they go for?

Ps. Canadian dollar is pushing down the US dollar. yay!

edit, which color they use? home and abroad? CB and what?

USMC now only uses the Coyote Brown. The ones I can get you are the latest version of their OTV (full MOLLE back and front compared to mid front and 3 lower back row for the old). When I got mine the dolar was about .95 and got it for like 145 shipped. They are genuine unissued Point Blank. They are from the last batch that was made before the Corps decided to switch from the OTV to the MTV. They have small, medium and large in stock ready to ship. If you want the old school look you'd need to go for woodland but this is getting harder to find (happy to have recently found another one)

these are the real thing? for $145, for some reason I'm skeptic about this. are they legal?

100% legal, and yes they are the real stuff,

here's my old one (For your information I NEVER buy replica gear)

can you get the groin panel?

I had one complete with groin, collar and throat protector but it's hell rare to get them complete as this...

care to share some more pictures? on you and different angles of the vest? inside?

I don't think I had more of this one, but I could get you some more of my woodland wich apart from the MOLLE webbing is exactly the same.

sure man, i just want to see details of the vest, color doesnt really matter, as long as you could get me the CB color when i make up my mind.

Given that the MTVs started getting issued, and that they use a totally different yoke/collar and throat protector, I expect we'll be seeing a lot more complete sets (or at least parts for them) being surplused.

If you fit into Small, Greentips had (and I think still has) a Spartan for sale.
