I was a Radio Operator in the United States Marine Corps and my Callsign was " RAZORBLADE 4 " The "4" meant that I was a Corporal or E-4 .. so.. to incorporate that I made the "A's" into "4's" and that's how it became R4ZORBL4DE
+1 on the Hyperfirm
I have a Hyperfirm and you can toss it across the room and it will be fine.
I believe you can get a "B" grade from SLAVEFIVE for about $250.
It's $100 over your budget but it's WELL worth it !
The ear looks good. I have a small gap in mine as well . I have seen buckets with a bigger gap than that.
Do you have a picture of the backside of it ?
And, Is that how high you are keeping your BROW LINE ?
Started strapping everything together tonight and installed the AB BUTTONS .. Here I strapped the Chest and Back and holding the ab plate up for reference:
I was lucky to have my Garrison XO ( Great Lakes Garrison ) come over my house to help give me direction my armor build.
I got my shins completed and got the inside cover stripes glued into my thighs.
Being that I am a shorter trooper I have to trim my thighs to size.
Quick questions guys ...
On my ATA armor, the kidney plate seems to have a wide end and a narrower end.
Which goes UP .. the wider end ?
Also, trimming the kidney .. do you leave return edges on both top and bottom ?
Thanks !!
