Ive decided I want to get some High quality gear and for the past couple of days, Ive been browsing around Diamondback Tactical's website and have been looking at their Gen 1 PC. Now Ive been wanting to start making an EOD/SF type loadout and the only tanish color that they have in the Gen 1 PC is Coyote Brown, and in my opinion is a wee bit too dark to look right with ACU. So Ive been looking at some pictures on Military.Net and came across this one. I really like his set up, and I think the Ranger Green looks really cool with ACU. Now my problem isnt so much the vest, its that with the pouches. And here is where I need some help. The type of pouches I am looking for are: x3 Double Mag Pouches x1 Medic Pouch x1 Molle Belt x1 Drop Leg or Convertable SAW Dump Pouch Now I have found both the Dump Pouch and Molle Belt on Diamondback Tactical, but Im having trouble with the Mag and Medic pouches. Ive found them aswell on Tactical Tailor, and as they run 45 (For a 3 Double Mag Pouch Shingle) and 35 for a Medic Pouch. Now for a kid like me thats a lot, but I also realise that this gear will last with all the abuse I can throw at it. So I was wondering if anyone knows anyplace where I could get some Ranger Green pouches for a cheaper price. Doesnt have to be High End, but something to get me by untill I got enough for the TT ones.

You're gonna have to buy real deal for Ranger Green.

You're gonna have to buy real deal for Ranger Green. Yeah, I kinda figured that. Thanks for your help Troub, figures, they clone the guns, but not the gear.

It appears the person in that picture is using Eagle Industries gear in Ranger green if you are trying to replicate it exactly. He also looks to be wearing an Eagle RRV with rear plate carrier + Eagle MAP, MOLLE belt with GP pouch, frag pouch and some other stuff which are more than likely Eagle. He also looks to have a Ranger Green PACA on. From the sounds of it, the price of real Eagle stuff is out of your price range, but if you want to replicate it closely as possible.

Don't forget the ranger green warbelt. Another combo often worn by rangers is a RRV front, with an MBSS back, and sometimes they add an unknown cummerbund around it all. tacticaltailor.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=23There is a list of Ranger Green stuff from TT, including some cheaper vests. optactical.com/taasgeveri.htmlThere is a bunch of Tactical Assault Gear vests. All of their stuff comes in ranger green.

Knife- Yeah, RS Eagle equipment is way out of my price range, and Im not trying to fully replicate it, just use it more or less as an inspiration type thing.
Troub- As for the Cummerbound, I was planning on buying most of the Pouches etc threw Diamondback Tactical, and they as well have a fairly decent Cummerbound system that attaches to both their Gen 1 and Gen 2 Plate Carriers.
I appreciate all the help you guys have been giving me as well as the links. If anyone has any pictures of Rangers wearing Ranger Green that will help me out a lot too in deciding how I want my rig to be set up.

If you don't mind buying replica gear, it looks like Pantac has some RG stuff they're releasing.

That mysterious Cummerbund everyone is talking about is part of the SFLCS kit, and it cannot be purchased by civvies, save for the extremely rare Ebay listing. And even then, expect to pay out of the ass.

Eagle and TT use the same color for Ranger green and Paraclete Smoke green is extrememly close. Thanks Big C, I appreciate the help. Ive noticed that even Diamondbacks own Ranger Green colors can very slightly, as I ordered 3 M4 pouches from them, and one of them is slightly lighter then the other. However I have a question concerning MOLLE webbing. Now I installed the pouches on my Diamondback FAPC, and the top of the strap where the pouch is, is slightly bent. Now I had a Condor Compact Plate Carrier, and it started doing the same thing, and eventually came to the point of it almost coming off, and I was wondering if I should be concerned about it. I mean, I have 4 Mid Caps in it, and I cant understand why its starting to do that as there isnt really that much weight on the strap. I guess I am just alittle paranoid, but I dont want that to happen to the FAPC. Any inputs or thoughts are greatly appreciated.
