Diggin that tiger stripe, I use those knee pads as well, they're pretty comfy, haven't had them ride up or down, even while running.

Figured this would be the place to ask, can anyone recommend a riser height or optic that'll work properly on a sig 556 with the regular rotary sights and thick front hood? I know eotechs work, but I'd rather just get a red dot or prism sight for it. I've measured it and assumed a half inch riser would work, but figured I'd see if I missed any options.

I want a ferro concepts fcpc but they're out of stock right now, and literally hung up on me when I called about a lead time.

What's something similar

To clarify i need a jacket that would block some water and wind for about 100$. Maybe more if it's really nice.

I've been wearing the same make of jacket for 5 years, so that pretty well speaks for itself. It's not to warm that it's unusable in the spring, but paired with a sweater I'll wear it in -25 weather. Soft shell so it's good in light rain.

what are some good usuable tactical pants, i have too many jeans and need something khaki for work, they dont necessarily need cargo pockets but something of decent material.

I'm a bit drunk, so bear with me, I'm getting all philosphical an' shit here. Bear with me too, since by no means do I dislike sperging about gear. I love the autism as much as every other regular who keeps coming back here. I just want to reality check that while gear is important, it is just their to be at the disposal of the user, not wholly replace them in terms of skill. I say this because, ya know /k/ lately has been about "expensive gear = more operating" and it's kinda like, after a certain point the expensive gear is nothing more than a show of more conspicuous income than it is enhancing skills.

Between that and people having a lot of ideas that their way is the only right way to carry gear, it just bugs me. Cause you know, there are definately *wrong* ways to set up gear, but when it comes to doing it right, their is no universal solution.

Anyway, just to say that gear is only as operator as the people using it. Much the same way sexy clothes only work if the person is alrerady attractive.

Train with your pistols and train for defense and physicality at close range if you're a civilian, because in the unlikely event of being in a gunfight, it will be a suprise close range self defense situation not one where you are geared up in camo or chest rigs.

Aight. Not being a buzzkill or nothin'. Old content pic of my backup to backup kit.

>>30404156
for me, the brads are the support by fire, so not a lot of 240 training, although we have some sexy ass 240L in the safe. they're short barrel and really cool. >>30404306
my plates are a bit small, so i had to add a little cardboard to fill it. there's enough stretch in the plate pocket to accommodate you.

why do you want the STT. It's not a BAD carrier, but it has some big buts that go with it.

>>30404472
I find nothing to disagree about.

>>30404564
that's what i did, but you have to understand thats like $80 on top of the base price of the carrier. so the STT isn't a budget option. it might be in comparison to other first spear products, but in the current market, there's a lot of good stuff near $280

and tubes is great, but if you go the tubes route, understand you won't be able to mount as much equipment on your sides because the tubes occupy prime molle estate and you might have to change how you shoulder your weapon. if you want "full kit" and tubes, you gotta rock a battle belt to, and that's an easy $100-200

Why do you need a new spring? And why that one?

Advertised to increase reliability and reduce that sproing noise. Geiselle usually makes good stuff too.

>>30405432
No, I know they make good stuff, but when it comes to something as little as the spring I wouldn't replace it it until I need to

>>30405354
>Seems like a better investment than the JP captured spring
No its not, the JP spring is fucking wonderful. Seriously once you get one will you want as many as possible

>>30405455
>$140 for a spring

Last one for the night

https://youtu.be/vEjhP2dyrZE

>>30405390
I mean the description says it all:
>Compared to the stock spring, The Geissele Super 42 Spring has a decreased tendency to lose length and force over a given round count. As an added bonus, it removes the annoying spring reverberations (twang) heard and felt by the shooter through the buttstock. The Super 42 Spring has a 15% stronger average return force than the standard buffer spring. This will assist in stripping rounds out of the magazine when operating with a dirty weapon or when using steel-case ammo

I'll admit the ridiculous amount of springs, pins, and detents that could break in at AR kinda bothers me...I'd shell out for peace of mind

If you dont want to buy lvl iv plates, skip plate carriers. You shooting and skill will always be more important at keeping you alive.

So, start from the best.
I like my tyr belt. I strongly recommend buying the outer and immer belt, $150

Tacos are good universal pouches, but for ar15 exclusivley im loving the pig bombers, and usgi double mag pouches are actually decent. They're cheap, good retention,even if used as single mags. Dump pouch to me is essential, i have a tac tailor. For the ifak i like tyr tactical. And thats my belt.

Are you a SWAT officer? If so I'm a bit surprised they let you work in a plate carrier and no soft armor.

>>30403630
Just got mine yesterday, really impressed with the quality. Now I just gotta get some mag pouches and a medical pouch.

>>30408298
I'm waiting for someone to leave our team

Personally, I think wearing soft armor is a PITA with plates. I get the reasons why, but I prefer the speed advantages by not having to wear it

>>30408278

Has anyone in the history of swat had to shoot 270 rounds from their AR?

I never understood why they make you guys carry so many mags

>>30408309
I personally don't buy it. Too many cops whining about how uncomfortable the armor is, but getting shot to death is a lot less comfortable. If your job is to roll to the target building in a bearcat, the weight is a complete non-factor.

I would also say, test how weight affects your performance. Go to a track and do a 100yd sprint with plates in, rest, and do another with plates + soft armor. I bet you the 4-5 lbs doesn't change as much as you think, especially considering that you aren't sprinting through buildings on entries, you're moving at a tactically appropriate pace.

My biggest pet peeve is overweight officers complaining about how heavy armor is. Don't trade ballistic protection for lightness, trade in your fucking ice cream and donuts.

>>30408345
Mags weigh very little all things considered. Cheap insurance, especially if the balloon goes up and you need to handle a terrorist attack or something of that sort.

Sands are the rarest of rare when it comes to Crye gear. They're literally AC style pants in a yellowish tan color scheme which were available on their website for purchase. Crye discontinued them earlier than the rest of the AC uniform sets for some reason.

Part of reason of why you see them going for 900+ a set is because someone posted a couple pictures way back which showed some alleged SEAL team/ DEVGRU members wearing some sand uniforms.

I've seen some manufacturers make repros, but they don't even come close to the unique yellowish tan color the AC sands have.

They're not bad to be honest, they've held up pretty damn solid over the year I've had them. The only negative thing I've heard from emerson and their crye repro pants are the stitching goes out.

Socks: I may just be weird, but the Pistil wool/nylon blend 'everyday' socks have treated me perfectly.

https://www.rei.com/product/892864/pistil-everyday-merino-crew-socks-mens

I've also worn plenty of other socks and never had much of a problem. The key is hygiene. Switch socks out, make sure you have a good fit, and keep your feet dry as much as possible. It also doesn't hurt to keep your socks washed in the field; even when you have very low resources, something as simple as a stuffsack, some heated water, and some grated up soap will do in a pinch as a ghetto wash for your underclothes. Rinse after with plain water. You can do a couple of pairs of socks with just one water bottle. Washing them this way will allow them to be reworn if needed and seriously extend your ability to wear clothes hygienically.

Give reasons. What makes firstspear worth 500 but not USGI

>>30420432
Not him but: IOTVs have a terrible quick release system. It is overly complicated, the tab is in an annoying place, and it has a tendency to stick out way to far making it a danger to snag and cause your whole vest to fall apart.

The outer cumberbund material is far too stiff, making it a pain in the ass.

The center cover for the cumberbund is weirdly cut with a curve to it, making it a pain in the ass to mount pouches there. Between that and the overall bulk of the GI soft armor, it is very difficult to mount pouches at all.

If you want a full armor vest, the Eagle CIRAS does everything the IOTV tried to do, except the CIRAs doesn't suck ass, and usually has thinner saferiland soft armor in it.

I've worn both vests for the military and have had some time in them.

CIRAS is bulky though, compared to more recent plate carriers

>>30420795
Of course it is, it has full soft armor coverage. Plate carriers generally just have plates. They have different priorities.

If somebody wanted to buy an IOTV, I'd assume they wanted full soft coverage and recommend a CIRAS, as it does the same job but better. A plate carrier serves a different purpose.

Does anyone else own the Armour wear level IV plates? I have the mutlicurves and need a good carrier that will fit them. I was thinking Banshee but didn't know if there were other options for a plate shaped like this since it isn't an exact SAPI shape.

As an aside, has anyone ever heard of these people?

Pic is the lie of a plate shape Armour Wear has on their site.

>>30421066
Strikehard Gear makes good SKS gear

Ferro Concepts Slickster vs Mayflower APC vs Grey Ghost Minimalist?

>>30421517
I have mine in a banshee and they fit well

>>30421580
Oh dude awesome, can you snap a pic? The carrier I had has the cropped corners and because they don'e match the plate it forces the plate to ride like 2" low. It's a decent plate its just I need to find a carrier that will fit without a big air pocket inside rubbing under my chin.

the only thing that gives me doubt over the Grey Ghost is the velcro shoulder straps. i dont see how that can hold the weight of say steel plates while running around.

>>30421454
No, this mad bastard went and built himself a PC out of a duffel bag, FLC waistband, and USGI 6-mag bandoleer.

Shit's not pretty, but he's assembled a decent PC out of shit that I'd find laying around my room.

I think I've heard people say highcom security TAG and LBT do, but not 100% so don't quote me.

>>30421605
The polymer loop almost certainly has some teeth on it which causes the strap to tighten in there and do most of the loadbearing instead of the Velcro.

How the fuck?

>>30421634
i would go i step further and after adjust the straps to the appropriate setup up and have the straps sewn together as cheap insurance. its the ocd in me

>>30421605
Do you know if it has a kangaroo pouch or something like that?

>>30421703
it has two small pockets on either side where the top corner of the plate is

this one is similar to the grey ghost but with buckles, problem is the buckle placement could get in the way of rifle placement

Same way I did with this when I had a SAW.

That hurts my spleen just looking at it. But you're not wrong.

>>30421820
You can't feel it through the plates.

>>30421658
People really don't know how to do that anymore.

>>30415845
Shouldn't your ammo generally be placed high as possible in case of a fire (and also not under fabrics and shit)?

Where do you all get plates? I'm wanting ceramics cause weight and shit but don't want to blow money out of my ass for them someone posted a link to a website that had some for like 172 a plate or something. Also would buying dummy plates to help with fitting be a bad thing? I like plate carriers so I'll probably buy a couple more for shigs and gigs so I'd actually use them more than once. Pic related is my platelets carrier

What are good alternatives for crye ac style pants? Price is 120 but I still would be hesitant about it if it was that much

Propper and trusted make good quality and run about $40-$90 depending on size and camo pattern

>>30422454
Propper and truspec*

>>30422132
How big are you? Need that for sizing

>>30422472
>>30422454
Tru Spec > Propper. I've had both, multiple styles. Tru Spec seems to be a far nicer product but more expensive than Propper.

>>30422513
Where can you even get the tru spec pants with knee pads?

>>30422561
You can take them to a seamstress or just wear normal knee pads. ADAIK Tru doesn't make the internal pads, I'm not a big fan anyway.

If it's any consolation a few of us in this thread including McNig use Emearsons. They're knock offs yeah but they get the job done. Just bring away any loose threads and for the love of Christ replace those shitty knee pads that come with them with some Crye airflex"s.

>>30422513
I'm not sure either way. I've owned both too, but can't really tell much of a difference. Both have nice stitching and all, but my local surplus store has propper brand stuff for good prices, for brick and mortar store that is, so I go there and buy stuff in person after trying them on to make sure they fit. They have some truspec stuff but just their 24/7 line and only in a few solid colors. Plus propper uniforms are supplied to the u.s. military so it's good enough for me.
