i have a few friends that are in the corps, want me to ask them?

If you have some money to burn and want something relatively close to an MTV:

Naw that'll be fine, I have built an OIF kit for my collection, I then built a current kit (CB IBA). I'm now moving on to finish a Nam kit now.

Oh and Drake... I hate you but I found some Spartan I for way cheaper

Well I thought I'd keep my thread alive!

For all those looking for Marines kit here's a basic kitlist through different stages of OIF, I'm also only listing the regular grunts kit as I have no great interest in Force Recon

OIF I 2003:

Uniform: 3 colors desert cammies / desert marpat (although all the invasion was done in MOPP suit, no one should be stupid enough to play a game in this)
Helmet: PASGT or LWH (rarer) w/ 3 colors desert cover or desert marpat cover
Body armor: Woodland or CB IBA
Load carrying Equipment: FLC loaded with mix'n'match of ALICE and SDS woodland pouches
Boots: Tan Altama or Belleville 550 ST
Goggles: SWD w/ socks sleeve
Pistol holster: Really though to say if one was an absolute standard... M12, M12 w/ hip extender, privately bought drop leg
Gloves: Cold weather glove liner (od), pilot flight gloves
Weapons: M16A2, M16A4, SAW MKII, M9
Misc: M40 gas mask bag could be used as a dump mag, an old PASGT 3 color desert cover was sometimes layered over woodland IBA to obviously suit them better for desert use

Great compilations!

Where would i be able to find some sort of ALICE gear?

Ebay is your best bet. It's really cheap. Other than that I bought some in local surplus over time

Pantac made it!!! Though I'll personnaly stick with my PB IBA since the MTV looks way too fucking bulky for my liking...

Little question about the sam-r. Are they based on Colt or on FN M16?

2004-ish (Phantom Fury)

gas mask bag
 

the mask bag looks like an M-17 gas mask bag not an M-40 mask bag?

Get a haircut :P Nice one Vince

Good eyes ;) Still haven't received the 40. Using it as a dump pouch
