I've always wondered where you come up with these answers... lol... you know more about Marines than someone who attends a Marine JROTC program...

J/k. Thanks for the answer.

FOX, depends which one you're talking about, and if you find a good deal. Get on MSN if you have some time

[FOX_111]

I mean, are they in the same price erea as Arc'terix backpacks?

[Conker]

Which one?
But anyway... they ARE Arc'Teryx

[FOX_111]

Really?
I have this knack for linking perfection in gear!
That's why I wanted them so much.

That also mean they will be hard as hell to find.

[Conker]

Yes.
This is the "classic" ILBE main pack: Arc'Teryx Tango http://www.leaf.arcteryx.com/Product...rt/Tango#Packs. The "classic" assault pack is discontinued, but it was called the Charlie.
The Recon Main and Recon Assault aren't commercial yet, but they were announced some time ago.

Ouch, 600$.
200-300$ I would have biten, but 600$!? Maybe much later.

John, you were asking about the quality of Shark Gear for their SPC. I ordered some stuff off RSOV and since they were cheap, added 3 Shark Gear pouches in CB. Quality and marksmanship seems pretty nice: no loose threads, what has to be parallel is, etc. But the color is quite a bit darker greenish than most issued gear I've seen. It's similar to Flyye, but even darker. Quality/price wise it's pretty nice though, and would I guess it would do the job in daylight.

Just note they use 900D and not 1000D like Flyye or Pantac.

'K. Thanks!

Cool! I was going to grab a cheap pouch myself just to see, but you beat me to it. Any chance you could throw up a pic next to something Flyye and something issued? That Shark Gear SPC is tempting, since Flyye's taking so long to get theirs to retailers.

Lol, a grunt with a Wilcox mount:

[Conker]

Considering the Wilcox and the M4 (as opposed to the usual M16A4) it's most likely not a grunt.

[Vince]

And the Surefire flashhider... Screams MFR

RAGGLEFRAGGLE.

Didn't expect that, huh?

Anyway, grunts are being seen with a lot rarer stuff than in the past, such as TAP chest rigs, Norotos 1 Pt shrouds and the above Wilcox, M4's, and EI isn't the main pouch distributor anymore, it's more likely BAE Eclipse and Fire Force. And just maybe the flash hider is another one of these rare things with grunts.

I feel like a winner after picking up a PB IBA and reversible MARPAT cover for $40...

Pics when it gets in.
