Force Recon MSOB helmet

I acquired a cheap MSA MICH TC2000 recently. The reason it was so cheap, was because it had multiple holes drilled into it at the front. So the owner was willing to let it go cheaply. My buddy collector gave me the heads up and I of course jumped to the occasion to buy it.

I asked the seller to put on some 100 mph tape to hide the holes and it makes it look even more used that way, which I actually like haha.

Another package consisted of 2 items. A Norotos 3 hole NVG mount shroud and a Norotos' patented Titanium Advanced Tactical Helmet Mount Assembly (TATM HMA LgArm) .

Quite hard to come by in Europe, since most US sellers don't ship these out of CONUS. And again, my buddy collector gave me the heads up, so thanks to you! You know who you are! :)

 

 

MSA gel ear cups upgrade

Just got this in today from talkingheadsets.co.uk: MSA gel ear cups. I ordered these a few weeks ago together with a Nexus U-94 U/A PTT. Unfortunately they forgot to ship the ear cups when they sent out my order and it took them until today to get these out to me.

First impressions were that these are indeed very comfortable to wear, more so than the standard ear seals. They are made out of gel inserts and are heavier than the stock foam inserts. I wear glasses and although I didn't have any problems with the other inserts, these feel even better. Actually I don't feel them at all when I wear them, which is great.

Definitely worth upgrading to these ear cups, especially when you consider their low price.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from mil-freak!

I wish all you guys good luck on your gear hunting and may you win all your ebay auctions! haha.

As for myself, I am running out of FSBE II stuff to buy. On top of my list of things to get are an MSA MICH 2000 helmet and a NOROTOS 3 hole Night Vision Gear shroud.

The past couple of days I have been looking on Ebay for an XL sized MICH, yes my noggin' is huge lol. I could wear an L, but with my MRCS it's kind of a tight fit. Size XL would definitely do the job.

The hardest thing to source, would be the NOROTOS 3 hole shroud, as they are restricted by ITAR, meaning that the US shops and sellers are forbidden to export these. Basically us European collectors are screwed, unless we find someone willing to ship these internationally. But the same goes for a lot of other items and truth be told, you can get your hands on them if you look really hard.

Anyway I'm gonna cut it short, I hope I can post a lot more of my acquisitions this year.

Please support the troops who fight the war on terror and have a happy and safe 2010!
