Load Out Room

[USMC6094]

Another import from a few other of my regular haunt forums.

This is an aside from things that are direct accessories to the firearms we make our own through the process of accessorization.......

I mean Duece Gear (Marine parlance), war belts, plate carriers, doesn't matter the Era, nationality, just as long as it's the load bearing equipment you use, or collect.

As I'm the OP, I'll start..........

Picked up my second Kevlar helmet yesterday. An NOS, unissued, never worn, manufactured in 1989 example, size Large. It has some slight storage wear, and came with the usual head band, and a pristine instruction manual.

The ol’ Fritz helmet (80s Army speak).

RTG Militaria has a pile of stuff you military accoutrement collectors would dig.

Man, if it comes to it, you survive your first engagement and there will be plenty of gear on the ground.

There are things way higher on my priority list then trying to amass a complete set of TA50 for my family.

I mean that would be a won the lottery, paid off all of my debt, paid off all of my kids debt, set up an income stream and let my kids pay off their kids debt kinda thing.

What does an unissued Kelar go for these days?

I got this one for just under a C note, and in the 15 years in uniform I have, it's the ONLY "new" one I've ever. So the price wasn't a put off to me.
