mash Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) First one is a radio pouch, the double one is a double mag pouch(holds 6 SA80 mags) has had the loops removed, the olive pouch is early plce either a utility or water bottle pouch, a NI chest rig and the last one I believe is private purchase, I'm not too sure on the belt or the other pouch.

terryo Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 That's great , thank you , is there anything that I can make into a set of ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mash Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 The only thing that can be used would be the NI chest rig as that is worn as is, to complete a set of plce you would need additional pouches and a yoke, the belt you have could possibly be utilized however the ammo pouch is useless due to having no loops fitted, it could have been done to allow it to be stitched to a patrol pack to give greater capacity/ easy access to smoke grenades or ammo.

terryo Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 That's a shame , bit of a waste then , I live and learn tho 😊 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 It's not a waste. You could get some other bits and use it. It would just take a bit of research and I'm sure you could end up with your own 'custom' rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryo Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Yeah , that's a good point , always see plenty of kit at war and peace so shud be able to make something out of it all , can the chest rig be worn in addition to the webbing or separately ?

mash Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Chest rig would be worn on its own, as for webbing other than a double ammo pouch on the left any combo you want is fine as everyone tailors their webbing to work best for them or the task. The chest rig was issued for NI as at a check point ammo and a small amount of rations/water was all they needed, for field deployment you are expected to live out of your webbing for aprox 24hrs and often need to carry more to survive, be warned though the more pouches you have the more crap fills them half of which you never need.

terryo Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Fair point , this is all very interesting stuff , I've got a couple of complete sets of 58 pattern but don't really know much about the more modern stuff , thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
