Frozen: Just buy some FSBE II of SFLCS

[Conker]

I posted that on another forum but I guess more opinions can't hurt! This is my planned kitlist for my MSOB late 2009-early 2010 (my refpics are mainly from nov 09 to feb 10). Opinions are welcome. I'm still missing some of that stuff, either on its way or that I still need to order.

SpecterDR* + Adapter + Docter*
Sling!?!?!?

1911 MEU

-----------------------------------

As far as the sling goes, I don't want the CSM CIRAS sling and I want to replace my current MS2. I was thinking of the VTAC or Vickers slings... Ideas?

-----------------------------------

To be honest I wanted my kit to be as modern as possible while still being CB (and documented with pics as much as possible)

Opinions, insults, comments and wedding requests (in case there's such thing as a female geardo) are highly encouraged.

[Conker]

Oh, and just got my CIRAS! And I won my bet (wasn't sure if it was CB or MJK from the pics...)

It's an early FSBEII (green tag) in pretty good shape too!

[mchlman]

Sounds slick, while your at it, have you thought about a Garmin? And what type of paint are you using on your helmet?

[Conker]

Green tag
The tag is worn, but... can't mistake it for anything else!

The pouches came mounted on the CIRAS and are BLACKHAWK! (triple) and probably civilian EI (there's no tag) for the double.

The lot came from a 2nd Force Recon operator.

[FOX_111]

Good find.
How much the multitool worth?
Mine is busted and I want a new one.

[Trzewinski]

Nice catch Conker.

U should make a Force Recon loadout with this beauty, instead of MSOB

[Yannos]

Why a FR instead of MSOB?
I we like MSOB

[Conker]

@Trzewinski: Haha when Vince saw the green tag, he said exactly the same
But yeah... considering how far into the MSOB I'm right now, I better not change my mind LOL!

Also, that just got posted as MARSOC over on Gearsoc... I'm.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that's even worse than MJK

[Yannos]

That's like the Future soldier thing that will never see battlefield lol.

Your Frog looks a weeeeee bit large for you and also why use the flap on the 45 pouches? That kinda defeats the purpose of having kydex pouches

But nice kit
