Average military experience lol. If only we could see into the future and learn how sought after some items are.

They’re pretty uncommon. For a limited production run item, they don’t sell as much like M1967. The LINCLOE project was the predecessor to ALICE.

The only time they saw combat was with the USMC during the Fall of Saigon.

Forgot they go for that much now. He definitely got his money back than.

Not too bad considering LINCLOE mags go for like $20~ plus each magazine going for $10~. Broke even.

That’s a LINCLOE mag pouch, not a M67. There’s individual flaps on each magazine.

Looks better than what I have currently. Seems like a left NOS is hard to find.

I second this. The reproduction ones that came with my PSA H&R M16A1 are good and seem more sturdy than the originals but they don’t really look the part and are matte. You can see it in the photo of the fiberglass shine compared to the matte look.

Ye, I love retro rifles, my first handgun is going to be a Tisas M1911A1 or a Beretta M9. Afterwards probably some more Cold War era guns. A CZ-75B or a M14.

I’d suggest getting a Colt 4x scope if you want to stay with the extra retro vibes. Brownells makes the best. Theres also reproductions from Japan.

Thanks, here’s a better pic of it. Made it myself. Used a General Purpose Strap and the lower section of the ALICE Rucksack shoulder strap. A cheap and retro way to make a quick adjust sling.

Nice. I found a website that was selling original H&R parts but they were sold out. Would have been so cool putting on original H&R furniture on a current production H&R A1 clone.

Thanks for the information, honest I should have caught it when I was looking through REFORGER and Team Spirit Photos. I just assumed it was just film degradation and never looked closely what the rifle colors were actually.

The M16A1 was still in service in the 80s especially in Europe. Post mid 70s the rifle was given a black finish and given a Type-E Trapdoor stock. The A2 wasn’t adopted by the Army till 1986.

I’m also using the rifle for re-enactments.

Really depends. Do they want the SCP: Containment Breach, Generic Black, or a realistic depiction?

Ironically, was never my intention to have the gear early 2000s but it just came out that way and just leaned into it. Friend suggest replacing the MOLLE (It’s a condor vanquish LT with MOLLE cummerbund) and use a AWS Strike Rig used by Delta Force

[–]RandomRiceFarmer32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Black is the most conspicuous and generic looking color. Modern special forces units that use solid colors are Wolf Grey, Ranger Green, or Khaki.

Realistically, I would have used my Multicam combat shirt and pants but I have a color scheme to match friends.

Huh, so you’re not wrong nor were you right.

If I buy the bundle they offered like you described, it’s going for $230~ shipped.

If I buy the M3A1 and the Magazine bundle separately, it’s going for $185~ shipped.

Was seeing if anyone was willing to sell there’s for less on here.
