CAMO/MILITARIA THRAED
Asher Brooks
Connor Bell
I went to a thing...
Robert Watson
...and brought back some goodies.
Brayden Reed
Those look fun to go to.
Of course you found another set of that. Unbelievable.
I see it also has a patch of some sort on the right sleeve.
>that helmet cover
Could it be?
Landon Moore
Surprisingly, quite a few sellers had bits and pieces of border guard camo. This was the only complete set though. It even has the old border guard patch (depicting an angry lynx) on the sleeve.
Yep, it's one of those tigerstripe-ish covers alright. First time I've seen one IRL, so I just had to have it. Paid thirty EUR for the helmet (basic bitch Gentex PASGT) because the guy refused to sell the cover individually.
Jaxon Gomez
Forgot the picture heh.
Xavier Walker
Items picked up in Angola during the Border War
The foam of the liner is extremely hard and brittle, and the chinstrap broke off during transit but otherwise its in "ok" condition, considering it was picked up off a dead insurgent
AK-47 Bayonet is an Original Soviet Model (tracked the factory stamp) and I was told it was picked up in Angola as well
RPG 7 piece I believe comes from a Chinese projectile as the shape is similar to the Chinese airburst rocket but I'm not 100%, the seller was selling other rpg bits with Chinese lettering on so I'm fairly sure it's chinese

Gonna buy lots of cool shit
Jaxson Reyes
Nice. Honestly looks like an ERDL derivative seeing it close up.
Nice finds. Battlefield pickups are neat af.
Lucas Parker
The pattern's all over the place. Some look kinda like tigerstripe, others resemble lizard.

After what has been months I finally made a trip to Mexico to pick up all the stuff I bought.

I'm digging those camo jungle boots.
I've seen the woodland and air force variants of those same boots, and once on ebay a guy had a pair of pic related for sale, some weird subdued version of the jungle/woodland pattern in an all-over camo boot, like a sort of subdued version of the CADPAT boots.
Josiah Adams
Someone made me aware this existed a few days ago, and it's all I want in life now.
Zachary Adams
Those boots are known as "Guacamole" boots by Mexican soldiers. I actually brought 2 pairs of desert boots one for myself and another for some guy in Wisconsin. I also brought him a boonie hat and 2 caps. Essentially that picture is what I brought over for him. I also brought stuff to sell on eBay.
Charles Garcia
What a haul. I'm surprised to see so much more Mex stuff floating around these days.
If only just a bit more could leak out and drop the prices. 'Course then you wouldn't be making as much sneaking it out.
Elijah Martinez
The thing with Mexican uniforms is that they are generally available. Especially the green jungle one. But many people don't like shipping to the US due to cost and hassle.
It also doesn't help that many people assume the worst when they hear that it's "ILLEGAL" to have and sell military uniforms without being active duty. (In reality the law is hardly enforced and when it is it's generally an added crime for cartels members caught in possession of military goods)
I for one buy as much as I can in variety and bring back stuff to sell for "reasonable" prices. I'm not the kind of asshole who puts a heavily used run of the mill green uniform up on eBay for $300+ when I know that uniform can be had for as little as $20 in the used market. I generally try to recuperate the a bit of the cost of the flight and some amount of profit. But nothing too crazy.
Liam Brown
Interesting. Years ago when I bought my uniform, last I had heard was that uniforms were heavily regulated and there were hefty fines and jail time associated with being caught buying and selling them.
Adam Roberts
On paper the law says you can be fined and sent to prison for up to 6 years for selling military items. But in practice the selling of uniforms is common especially online in Mexico's/Latin America's version of eBay (which actually requires your ID to sell items and sometimes to actually buy items) and you can see countless ads for uniforms and even military equipment such as helmets, vests, boots and even gun parts. Even Facebook marketplace has items like that for sale.
Connor James
What is difficult is trying to get a hold of desert camo items because of the few states that issue them and the fact that they are almost always destroyed after usage due to the fact that all the states that issue desert items are border states and they don't want cartels to access them.
Blake Collins
Give me money
Jackson Nelson
What I got last trip to the surplus store
Jaxson Fisher

That's one heck of a name.

What's that bottom right one with the full visor?
Very cool
Don't let UPCCODE see that sweater
Ryan Brooks
I mean that's why I bought it
Adrian Rodriguez
>buy British boots off eBay vendor
>better go one size up just in case
>boots arrive
>I can barely get them on and they crush the fuck out of my toes
Fugg :DDDD
Oliver Brooks
Christopher Parker
I don't get why people buy shitty chinese-made tacticool vests when pic related can be had for like twenty to thirty bucks.
Easton Phillips
> tfw the gooks had Multicam Tropic before anyone
Eli Baker
I got drunk and purchased this. I was gonna try to cancel it but meh, wanted one anyway.
Juan Lee
guess they dont like the authentic smell and prefer roasted chink.
Dominic Baker
Oh boy, get ready for years of sadness.
Elijah Morgan
That dyed or a camera trick?
Asher Cooper
It's my attempt at a dye job. Turns out the mesh part doesn't take dye all that well whereas the webbing soaks that shit up like crazy.
Dominic Roberts
Interesting. Usually webbing, in my experience, is one of the most dye resilient parts.
It did turn out to make a neat contrast though.
Jason Rodriguez
Amren borther, that seems to be the case with most items. Imagine my shock when the webbing was first to turn dark green.
Jaxson Collins
got one of these a couple of weeks back
Lucas Thomas
I've got a repro set I'd sell you
Brayden Jackson
I wish I hadn't sold mine.
Charles Thomas
How much? I'm always interested in it
Julian Ross
Dominic Perez
Jaxon Phillips

Nathan Gonzalez
Ah, a fellow veteran of the Ketchup-Mustard-Relish War.
I served with the Fighting Hot Dogs. You?
Lost a lot of good men on McDonalds Ridge.
Justin Bell

Logan James
Anyone know where I can score some SMLE clip pouches? Pic related
Want the old beefy snaps, not the modern ones, those suck
Connor Thomas
Do you guys ever dye your shit?
Ethan Foster
Nathan Roberts
RARE
Dylan Walker
Camden Cruz
Do those have the internal suspenders still in them?
Brody Baker

>pic related
Hudson Sullivan
Belgian jigsaw reversible fleece
I was at the Gulf Of Dunkin, I swear to god, something fucky went down
Jeremiah Lewis
Nice.
Lucas Miller
OwO whats this?
Leo Baker
Yeah. Maybe I’ll get a picture in later
Gabriel Lopez
Fuckin' nice, definitely a rare piece then.
Aiden Watson
These suspenders? ;)
William Brown
Nice. Yeah from what I hear a lot of those internal suspenders are cut out because people found them very uncomfortable during use so they would just cut out the suspenders and wear the coveralls without them.
Easton Adams
You heard correct
Hudson Martin
Chinese MF-18(? We don't know the confirmed designation, that's just what the seller called it) Experimental Panoramic Mask. Still being tested by the PLA, supposedly.
Jayden Edwards
This thing was definitely tested, it was caked in mud when I got it and there's light wear here and there. The facepiece is based off another existing design called the MF-15C, which is made by the same company as this mask (Shanxi Xinhua Chemical Co.), but the differences are that the eyepiece is reccessed inwards and has an integrated mount for optical inserts, plus the voicemitter/outlet valve assembly is nearly identical to another mask the PLA is currently testing called the FMJ09 (which oddly is made by a different company called Plant 908, so who knows what's going on here). At the moment, this is the only known example in the U.S.
Cameron Ortiz
Mexican marine camo?
Adrian Cooper
Yeah it's the Mexican marine jungle camo they had before swapping over to US4CES.
Grayson Robinson
finally finished ka2 set, too bad the stuffs hard to find and I'm over 6 foot so its a bit small for me
Camden Nguyen
>Post you're are camo
>Post you are are camo
wat
Austin Campbell
Hudson Long
Weird for something new if it's still being tested. The Type 99 camo bag would say otherwise to me, unless they're just reusing an old bag.
Tyler Wood
Is that Kink guy actually fielding a Baofeng?
Noah Thomas
Question. I think you are the guy who always photo your stuff on a bright red felt background. Why?
Hunter Gonzalez
If leather you can use rubbing alc and water on the inside to help the leather stretch. I used a 70-30 of alc to water ratio on my work redwings. Also, stuff those fuckers with towels or whatever when not in use to help stretch them out a little further. I did that and even used some minor heat and now I've got room to spare in my shoes.
Wyatt Russell
>red felt
It's a carpet.
Jose Ortiz
Looks similar to the one worn by that one farcry 5 villain
Gabriel Ortiz
Polish Flecktarn? The thumbnail image makes it look like the old pre-Multicam Lithuanian pattern.
Daniel Miller
More interested in the color. Why choose red?
Ryder Price
Lads, $25 for NVA Rain pattern Combat attire in mint condition
What ya say
Charles Ward
Can you get me a set of marine jungle for like $100?
Colton Lewis
It offers the best visual contrast out of all the carpets I have access to. The others don't make things stand out as much.
Aiden Clark
Where 2 cop?
Jackson Russell
I dunno, shoot me an offer. Top, bottoms, and boonie
Benjamin Nelson
Literally any surplus store or gun show
Aaron Gutierrez
>Polish Flecktarn?
Yep! in a winter jacket which I've never seen before
Daniel Walker
For $100? Depends, the set would probably be heavily used with fading. At that price point for it to make sense for me I would need to find a set that doesn't cost more than $60 or which is pretty hard especially for marine stuff. The set that I'm going to put up for sale (pictured) was going to start off at $200 but if you really want a set I can sell it to you for $165
Eli Martin
Jacob wore spray painted 3 color desert
Jeremiah Nguyen
I was lowballing for lulz. $165 is way more reasonable.
Lucas Flores
OwO
How much ddi you pay for this abw masterpiece
