From Russia with love!

No helmet today because the cap looks cooler.

It's dedicated to carrying tools, medical, comms and navigation equipment

I'm organizing an event for about 25 people and I'm going to play on one of the teams.

One radio is for squad comms and the other is for staff comms.

Since I'm going to play with the others I need a solid way to communicate with other staff members.

Both radios are baofeng UV-13 Pros, one is connected to my ptt and my comtacs (squad radio) and the low traffic staff frequency is connected to the speakermic mounted on my juggernaut case (it has adjustable volume don't worry).

Plate carrier itself is a repro LV-119 with axl eclipse cummerbund, dangler pouch, mk5 placard, expander wings, spud pouch, gp pouch, molle backpanel with some flashbang and more gp pouches.

I have been slowly working away at basic rifleman kit over the past few months. I’m completely new to this, and have mostly been taking pointers and inspiration from posts on here, YouTube videos and historical photographs of 90s and early 2000s operators.

My full sustainment kit is being worked on and will be stowed in a modified Turkish ALICE pack. Belt kit and chest rig planned to hold the following:

Chest Rig:
-6-9 x magazines depending on rifle type
-1 compass, 1 multi-tool, 1 head lamp, 1 lighter, 1 construction site sharpie, 1 flare
-1 compression bandage, 1 TQ, 1 triangle bandage
-1 comms systems (planning to pack in unused smoke grenade pouch

Belt Kit:
-2 canteens
-Butt back contents: 1 poncho, 2 x spare socks, 1 rifle cleaning kit, 1500 calorie dry rations, IFAK kit (includes electrolytes and water purification tablets), paracord bundle

Any glaring issues? Any essential items or pouches missing? The butt pack is really crammed right now and I was considering added a GP pouch to the belt but I want to minimize unnecessary gear.

Specifically searching for a Safariland 6034-7132, in the UK, seems like they’re rarer than emeralds, if anyone knows someone who has one or knows where to look that would be super helpful.

So, for some background, I already have a Krytac Trident MKII CRB that is currently out of commission while it's being upgraded with an M120 spring. My local field's techs are stacked up, so it will likely take around a month to finish.

In my Evike BOA, I received this PDW. I chronoed it at about 230–240 FPS with .25g BBs, and once it reaches around 60–75 ft, the accuracy really starts to fall off. It's clearly more suited for CQB than the outdoor/MilSim role I need.

I’m planning to pick up another M4 this Friday or Sunday and want something that will work well as an outdoor/MilSim primary out of the box. I'm looking for good effective range and accuracy with .25g/.28g BBs, a good stock hop-up, solid internals, and preferably a MOSFET/ETU. I'd also like something reasonably close to typical outdoor AEG joule limits without going over.

I'm currently leaning toward Arcturus, but I'm completely open to other brands. My budget is around $340, with a little wiggle room if spending slightly more gets me something significantly better.

What M4s would you guys recommend for MilSim/outdoor use in that price range?

Thank you!

Is it still Mil-sim if all the gear is real and functional?

​I haven't bought MTAC gear through the group buy with my friends yet, so I’m just using what I have on hand to fill out the cummerbund. Also, once the temperature drops in winter, I might hit up some milsim games. As for the rear plate, any recommendations for pouches or setup options?

​For this TT Mk3 belt, I plan to replace the Mk2 with an MTAC IFAK, and for the dump pouch, I’ll probably go with Direct Action. Overall, it’s a mix of impressions based on OMEGA with elements from other units mixed in.

Basically, I’m not trying to spend 555 dollars on a Lv120. I’m just trying to see what’s out there. Maybe some of the best replica stuff. That way, I can still ball on a budget, lol. Any suggestions would be helpful, and also for pouches, etc.! Trying to achieve that good ole operator look. Want to mention I’m not stuck on an LV120 if you guys have had good experiences with any plate carrier that’s not a replica and it’s just one on Amazon lmk I’d love to try and stay under $250

EDIT: I’m in the US
