Dual purpose purchase , it's for my AIRSOFT and Living History RECON impression.
MD1122 Life Preserver , missing the CO2 canister and the cover for the mechanism , but that's easy to fix

Lastnight - for $120, I bought this AEG with a bunch of extra goodies for it. The markings on the rifle read Olympic Arms. It's all metal. I've never heard of this company before. The rifle doesn't function. The neighbor I bought it from has no idea why it doesn't work either.

This is funny...the 'shotgun attachment' is actually fake. It stores the battery...lol.
Image
Lastly, this vest thingy. It needs some repairs to the front but it works.
Image
That's it. My allowance for the month is gone and my wife won't let me have anymore til I get the 'List' done....better get busy.

The vest "thingy" is an M88 Load Bearing Vest (LBV88).
The Olympic Arms AEG is an ICS AEG with Oly Arms licensing.

AH. Thanks for clearing that up. So, the rifle is actually an ICS. Is that good? also, I'm not very knowledgable in military equipment so 'thingy' is a technical term for me. Thanks for identifying the vest. It's no longer a 'thingy' and shall be called LBV88 from now on.

I owned a couple ICS M4s like that. They're cake to work on because of the split gearbox. If you need troubleshooting advice on them, I can help.

Not that big or shiny, but I think it's pretty cool. Safariland MLS 15 forks and 17 attachment plate. It lets you swap holsters for different platforms in no time. The locking forks also lock into MOLLE so you can take it off a drop leg shroud and stick it on a PC or MOLLE drop leg in seconds. I mainly got it since I run different pistols and uncrewing the holster is a pain in the butt, plus the price was right ($43 or so for 3 forks and the locking plate from opticsplanet.com). It also comes in handy if you run your pistol on a drop leg and need to get in and out of vehicles (big concern for us right ;).

Image

Just squeeze the two side fork things and pull up on the holster and its free!

I've had it for a week now and haven't had any issues with it falling off. It stays in place when its locked into MOLLE quite well.

Mich 2002 with HT NVG mount kit, old school TGS PVS14 replicas (red dot), it's original suspension and a replica ms2000 strobe that's a battery for the interior fan to keep me nice and cool.

Haven't had time to paint it yet, so it still has a weird little skull on the top and its a solid tanish-bleh...
