Armor Concerns

[drumspeak]

I have concerns about my armor.  Here are a couple of pics.  I have more, but I somehow can't get them to load.  If you folks could give me some feedback it would be appreciated.  

 

Thanks,

Dave

what is the concern?

not sure on the shoulder bell but the belt is a big concern.

I can't tell too much about the shoulder bell, Dave, but I can see some areas for concern on the belt.  The first is that the center button is actually built (molded) into the belt.  This may not be a huge problem, but this is normally a separate piece, and is used to cover the the head of the attaching screw/rivet that connects the ammo belt to the canvas one.

The problem you will have is the ridges on the outside of the end ammo box.  These are also where you need to attach the screws/rivets to hold the belts together, and I don't see how this is possible, but I may be mistaken.  I'm not saying it can't be done, but it would require some work.  Can I ask where you got this armor?

 

 

(Sorry the belt is "dirty", but it is from my HWT armor)

Thanks Joseph--I did get it from the internet years ago, before I knew better.  I'm uploading the other pics now.  The belt isn't a huge deal, but if the other pieces are poor like it, I may have gotten a dud.
