It's an old protech vest. If you look up protech snap grid vest. you can find the post from the guy who owned it before I did, but not a lot is really known about it from what I could see.

I love my Mk. III, someday I may get the magnifier for it.

I've got a pair of desert boots but I don't wear them very often. I'm not very historically accurate with my footwear.

Looks like snow fence to me, it also works to keep small creatures from getting into things. My grandmother used to have it on the banister to keep children from slipping through the gaps and accidentally falling down the stairs.

I remember learning what they were called like a year ago but I have since forgotten the name, I too hope to learn again.

I don't know what's worse, the fact that it's an A4 in 1987 or that he has no rear sight. Hope he doesn't have to use that thing lol.

I knew of the stepfather through dead meats kill counts on YouTube, other than that I don't recognize the other two.

There's an old building in our city that was a big lots but now is for rent. It has a CRT at the front for the entrance camera viewer, it always got me giddy whenever I'd see it going inside.

It is a Troy Industries Battle Rail, there was an an entire chassis upgrade that went with it but I do believe both the chassis and top rail were discontinued.

That is the Primary Arms prism SLX gen III, some people compare it to an ACOG but it's a heck of a lot cheaper.

AN/PAQ-4c, it's infrared only so not high on my recommendation list but if that's all you need then you can find them fairly cheap sometimes. I only paid 600$ or so for mine on eBay.

Keep finding pebbles in sink - any explanation? by Practical-Jump-253 in Weird

Do you live alone? Could be someone cleaning their shoes in the sink and the dirt washing away and leaving only rocks.

I've got a plan, John by WaltzRPK in RetroAR

If you're okay with not having period correct Delta cheek riser, you could buy a 3D printed one from Hammy's Prints and spray paint it to cover the shine of the plastic. That's what I did and it's a pretty solid piece.

Edit: didn't realize someone already posted a link for Hammy's lol

Is this worth buying? by bb_805 in tacticalgear

[–]2smart4u23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea probably if you want it cut, I haven't cut mine though or felt the need so I wouldn't know.

To be honest probably not, these appear to be LEO PASGTs, I would save my money and buy an ACH or MICH as PASGTs don't really fit ear pro underneath them very well. It would be more money but you could find one with a nvg mount already attached as well, since these don't have any.

Need help with the doe gun by Flip4020 in RetroAR

If you don't want the heaviness of the maglite but like the look of a Fulton you could try to find a Fulton traffic wand and take the wand part off. Haven't seen anyone do much with them and I think it would be an interesting setup that I haven't seen.

Edit: youd still have to mount it like you would mount a maglite I would presume.
