This <A HREF="http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/26745.0.html">Online Kit Websites</A> thread should give you quite a few good sites... Cheers

Not really a piece of kit; but it makes the Tac Vest a little more manageable... Velcro Patches (soft side) for disabling velcro on Mag Pouches, Grenade Pouches...e.t.c. I find it much easier (and quieter) to change mags now that I've done this (and it's not permanent, so you can't get in sh#t.)

Hence why I only vouched for it as hearsay, nothing more. To clarify, I meant that it was a shame that the V40 (with the potential to give a rifleman 3-4 grenades in the same footprint as one C13) had so many problems and was put to rest because of said problems.

This actually happened a little while back in Borden with a C13; supposedly the person didn't check the fuse type while intiially examining the grenade(s) he was going to throw. It could have been a smoke grenade fuse (no delay) that prematurely set it off! But just as you say it; I, too, wasn't...

But its' concept was interesting; the ability to carry 10 - 20 grenades in a C9 Pocket vs 2 - 4 M67s in the same space. Seems the major complaint was they were too flimsy to handle (spoon was secured by thumb and fore-finger.) Anyone have experience with these?

The 25mm rounds look very similar to what's used in the 20mm Upper on the OICW. Very formidable looking AMR indeed...

In terms of capturing the "Trench Network" and traversing EN Mine Fields to do so, I felt it was good once rounds we being traded with the MILES Gear (I can't stand SIMUNITION!). As for the rest of the weekend, it was still your typical CRE WKND. Cheers

lol, it's OK Tess, I get that occasionally  ;)

Thanx Tess As for the other comment, I did not gear it for ALL Highland reservists but rather the ones I have gotten info from. My own regt has mixed opinions on the origin of the Toorie and the Hackle, I had Dorosh ( and several others on Army.ca) give me a second opinion on this. I have...

Tess Do you know if they offer MacKenzie Tartan? Thought about getting a kilt made up for civie street (Fergus Highland Games, e.t.c.)

...but a reservist in a highland regt would? I have been taught more false knowledge by members in highland regts than anyone else. Just like the pronounciation of "Bonnet Kilmarnock." It should be "bun-it kill-mar-nick" but people still say "bonnet kill-mar-knock" anyway. As for asking a...

I call it Matt's "Try before you Buy!" Alexander Keith Guy "Try before you buy? Brilliant!!!" ;D

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!! ;D I was expecting Wes to jump on that one. ;D

Maybe for some, but why not try these... Not only will reloads be easier, you're almost guaranteed to never fumble with crap again.  ;D

That has to be the greatest thing I've read today! Thanx for the laugh, Britney.

The issued mags work fine IMO; rounds stay seated properly, the spot-welding and steel construction is very durable (to think that we used to have thermo mold mags is atrocious), and even when dented (from dropping your rifle) they still function flawlessly. If anything they could be the "No...

Maxpedition's CONDOR Holds 32 Litres of kit, comes in OD, Woodlawn, AR and Seals Action Gear sells it for $149

It's meant for holding "colour filters" for the mini mag lite. There's a little cutout in the mini mag flap that is secured by the velcro.

Other than that, I wouldn't bother with it. I'd rather use an Inglis HP with the wooded butt attached than that futuristic toy. Off-topic, but...Hey Kev, have you fired or used the .45 HK Mark23? I'm thinking of getting one for the collection and just want a second opinion.

No, but I remember Hot Wheels Fluo-coloured toy cars that changed color when run under hot or cold water...
