Your Latest Acquisition Part 3

[Catch22]

You need to drag it though some dirt to knock off the shine Very nice

It'll get mud on it when I play

It looks pretty bright compared to AOR2, is it just the picture or is that how it is?

Compared to "woodland" it's a bit brighter, but that's the way AOR2 is.

[Unconventional]

Definitely TMC AOR2 over the other two options you have posted.

Yes, the TMC AOR2 pattern, material and stitching isn't too bad at all.

I get orders from some of the younger kids that don't have a lot to spend...wanting custom work done, but don't know what to buy due to lack of funds. When I receive requests for work to be done that is non-name brand or replica...I refer them to the TMC stuff and have it shipped to me for whatver mods they want done. For example..right now I'm making a TMC replica EI PMB longer for a dude that needs a belt that never has his size.

When I received the TMC PMB, it was what I expected. The only thing that I'm wary of, is the edge caps and the inner material on the part of the belt facing toward the waist.

[Unconventional]

Agreed regarding not as good material as Pantac..etc.
I'm referring to the closest possible match to AOR2 a person can get, without getting name brand AOR2. TMC does it so far...you can see the coloration is very very close to current gen AOR2 which has the darker pixel pattern for the darkest areas of the pattern instead of the lighter brown color of the 1st gen AOR2 or trial run of AOR2.

[Unconventional]

I don't see Ferro Concepts AOR2 in your comparison photo. Thought we were talking about replica AOR2 only.

Anyway..in your photos..if you were to compare what you have in your photos...the TMC AOR2 is the most accurate representation of the current AOR2 material that is being used.

Hey, is one of your friends named Matt J ?

[Unconventional]

Yeah..it's definitely a little too bright but that can be fixed various ways...They still dye some of their gear in black dye. It creates a flat used tone to the color and doesn't actually make the material as dark as one would think...the end result is simply a darker effect to it. After MJK or any other light color gear is dyed in black dye, it looks awesome.

I'm wondering what TMC AOR2 would look like dyed.

[mossy]

I'll buy some REAL AOR2 and we can compare :P

Nope. Was it supposed to?

[league 4]

Oh, well that's kind of what I meant when I asked if it was supposed to, I worded it really badly. I kinda prefer it without one though.

[Talon 1]

Went on a little trip to California and decided to hit up some surplus shops down there.



Got everything for less than $100.
FSBE AAV, buckles dated 2000
FSBE gas mask pouch
FSBE weapon catch (with green tag!)
MLCS black buckle canteen pouch

My floor is really dirty.

[Unconventional]

Good find...usually surplus stores in California are nill when it comes to anything good anymore.

[Talon 1]

That weapon catch. Give it to me.

Matt's got dibs.

But if not, tree fiddy.

East German MPi-KM Gas Block

[Braddock]

I'd say Ferro is closer, since it's actual AOR2 material, but since his carriers are $350 the TMC stuff is much better if you're on a budget.

Strange that TMC has made AOR2 and not AOR1.

FYI, TMC has AOR1 out now...

[Russkie]

Also Russkie, you need more SKS or other old school Eastern Bloc rifle.

Indeed, I do. I'll probably buy a Russian Tula SKS next spring. If not, then I'll for sure buy a M91/30 or a M44 Mosin Nagant.

In terms of airsoft, the Hexagon PPSh-41 looks pretty appealing.
