Not to mention there's a few people out there like myself and my buddy Kovacs, that if we shaved our head shorter than #1, we'd have stripes on our heads because of folds on our scalps ;)

If you were to get a good bladder (Camelbak, Source, etc..) you won't crush it, BUT it won't be comfortable with the rucksack on (rucksack will rock side to side while moving). If you've got the 82 Pattern ruck, you can always take the bladder out and stash it in the lid when you wear the ruck.

I used the short barrel and BFA last year when I played OPFOR for guys going overseas. The only thing I noticed was the barrel heated up quicker than a longer barrel.

If you're in the Toronto area, check out Army Issue in Mississauga.

The bergen is pretty much the grand daddy to most modern internal packs (or atleast the ground breaker), two aluminum stays and basic harness. If you can swing it, I'd recommend going with something from Mystery Ranch or Kifaru, much more comfortable, plus they're usually MOLLE exterior for...
