Thanks Mate.

Well I got the butt pack and canteen holders as part of a Trade.

The belt and Ammo pouches +suspenders I bought so in total probably about £50.

Which was cheap I guess for this era kit

Thanks for looking Mate

The two pouches right next to the buckel,are thoes for magazines?

Yup for M16/M4 mags

Plus the grenade pouches on the sides of the Ammo pouches.

I have managed to collect a few more pouches for this webbing, so will post them soon.

Some are mystery to me so hopefully someone can help with Id'ing them for me

Throw it out there if you have any questions on it. After 22 years of wearing the stuff I'm a bit knowledgeable. But still find some items that make me scratch my head from time to time.

Cool thanks Mate, I will do just that, watch this space

Some more kit to share- A Tactical vest. Shot gun Pouch. Canteens etc.

The vest is one of the earlier models if I remember correct. The later models had slanted magzine pouches instead of straight vertical ones.

Agreed. I think the nomenclature was Tactical Load Bearing Vest (TLBV). The later ones with the slanted pouches on a mesh base were known as the ETLBV (Enhanced TLBV).

Double agreed, you are correct about the nomenclature, also forgot to add that the shotgun pouch is not very common, and the magazine pouch is an aftermarket purchased item.

cheers Mate

Some more bit's n bobs to show you.

Nice stuff, the NZ Army Used the US made LC - 2 Suspenders,web belts, FFD pouches, and waterbottles CC & pouches from the mid 80's to the early 90's until we changed over to the Korean made knock offs, if you knew the Company Quarter Master he would let you rumage through the bins to find the US made webbing.
