Re: British Army in NI during operation Banner

I know pre 90s and not sure if I can say it on here but I have a nice MKIII "Turtle" type riot helmet on that well know site where you bid at the moment going cheap,the last one went for £83 a few weeks back and no,they are not worth that and I wouldnt expect mine to reach that so if anyone interested and having a bid,best of luck.

Re: British Army in NI during operation Banner

No the sterling is an airsoft one. If you look closely you can see the mainspring is painted on to a solid cylinder. The mag is an mp5 one cut and curved to look like a sterling mag.

O.O you must tell me your secrets! how do I get one! It'll complete my 70's UDR look!

Re: British Army in NI during operation Banner

Custom build by a chap in my re-enactment group. On loan to me for a while at the time of the photoshoot. Perfectly skirmishable too. The owner used it at a recent sennybridge event and it performed well. The custom mag can fail to feed occasionally but it's rare.

Looking for a Mk6 visor for my NI loadout... Anyone know where to look/ get one?

Re: British Army in NI during operation Banner

I love the line on this picture "(it) has no projecting rim to interfere with passing bullets"

Re: British Army in NI during operation Banner

Where do I buy one?...run out of ideas where to get one...

Re: British Army in NI during operation Banner

The visor itself or a complete MK6 with visor?

Re: British Army in NI during operation Banner

Just the visor... Ive got the mk6a helmet and nape protector...

Re: British Army in NI during operation Banner

Lose the Union flag on the left sleeve (back in the 80's, we knew which army we were in, so did the locals!), tighten your webbing, sort out those puttees so they're level, and for all that is holy OPEN YOUR EYES!!!
Pretty good though. Stag on...

AND Swap the Ammo pouches over! They are the WRONG way round!...............

Re: British Army in NI during operation Banner

As its been a wee bit quiet in here picture-wise i thought id share this. Its WIP i was playing about with the other week to see how it looked, based on a couple of 70s/early 80s SF accounts ive read.

Re: British Army in NI during operation Banner

nice..... needs more H&K.. and a balaclava. and ditch your webbing. spare mags along EVERYTHING else went into pockets and your patrol pack believe it or not.

but I do like that 16.
