Another score!

Yesterday evening, I closed a deal to buy a 2004 FSBE II issued RRS-V. This means it's in the old coyote brown color, the rare one and therefore worth more. I got a pretty good deal I think. Definitely worth it.

I was talking to the seller, who also happens to collect FSBE II stuff and I learned a lot from him. I am now worried that some of my newer edition stuff might be fake. But then again, all the stuff I got was either from military guys or collectors. So I guess it should be all legit.

Earlier this week I got some other stuff in as well from Canada.

2004 issued SAW pouch

2007 issued shotgun shell panel

issued FROG hood 

Still waiting on my MBSS...

The MBSS has arrived in Belgium, but it's still at customs, pending taxes. I have decided on which pouches I will be putting on it though. The list is as following:

front: Allied Industries shingle, Allied Industries MBITR pouch, Allied Industries Admin without light Eagle Industries .45 FB pouch x2, Eagle Industries M4 mag pouch x2, Eagle Industries frag pouch x2

all FSBE II Issued

back: Allied Industries flashbang pouch x2, Eagle Industries hydration carrier

Actually, the frag pouches might be omitted, pending available real estate on the front.

Some new pouches

The "RLCS" stuff arrived a few days ago. I still am not sure whether I should keep the stuff and make another loadout or not.



But anyway, here is the hydration carrier and frag pouch. I still have 2 Allied Industries MBITR pouches incoming. I'll post more pics when they arrive.

RLCS or not? Tell me in your comment!

Bummer!

This evening I was talking to a serious RLCS collector about how I bought a few RLCS pouches on a forum that we both visit.

He told me that some of the pouches aren't part of the issued Ranger Load Carrying System. What a bummer! Initially I bought these to trade for other items.

But since they're not worth as much as I had hoped they would be, I was toying with the idea of keeping them and start another impression. This would be a simple impression with only a few basic pouches in Ranger Green.

I simply cannot afford two collections. We'll see how things work out.

RLCS or not?

One thing I know for sure, this will teach me to be less impulsive and do more research!
