Know a good website or resource for people interested in recreating US military gear and equipment? Post it!

Anything. I want to see if we can get enough resources together to compile it up for people. Retailers are a little easy, of course, but you'd be surprised how many people don't know where to look, so we'll do someone a service by listing them up.

This is in Japanese but its easy to navigate and has really nice gear pics.

Lightfighter Tactical Inc.
http://www.lightfighter.com/

Ahhhh good old Lightfighter, it's a great place to shop if you have 6 months to wait for your gear to be in stock (still waiting for that RAID pack). Shipping times are good ONLY if the items that you want are currently in stock, so make sure you call ahead and ask, they have a toll-free number!

HSA Precision Tactical
http://www.hsapretac.com/

Superb customer service, I would definately order from HSA anytime.

Operationally Proven Tactical Gear
http://www.optactical.com/

GREAT place to shop from, they have amazing turn around times and shipping is fast too. Definitely recommended.

Supply Captain

Melinda is a great person to go to when you need hard to find items of kit or misc. pieces of issued gear. Shipping is cheap but might take a while for the items to get here. I have a hard time reaching her by e-mail but nobody else seems to have that problem, so my e-mail is probably just screwed.

Tomar's KA-BAR Knives
http://www.tomarskabars.com/

Really good place to shop for kabars, I ordered 3 :-D. They have the entire kabar lineup, so if you're looking for something specific it is a good place to look. Prices are very good and shipping times were average.

Kifaru International
http://www.kifaru.net/

Well, if you can afford their packs you are definitely more L33t than I am. I ordered a Malice claymore pouch from them, and it actually got here pretty fast, considering you usually have to wait 4-6 weeks for them to make the item.

Strategos Intl. Tactical Gear & Training
http://www.strategosstore.com/store.asp

Haven't ordered from them yet, but I'm going to this week, so I'll let you guys know how things go. They replied to my e-mails promptly, but shipping seems a bit expensive.

General good site for reviews on state of the art gear, or otherwise very new gear

http://www.geocities.com/sabresquadron/
Older site, some decent pics

http://www.specwargear.com/
A good starting point if your just getting into US gear, not all information is very detailed, but general pics and ideas about gear

http://www.wannabe.uk.com/
A british gear lover, his site is well done, much like his impressoins

http://www.militaryphotos.net/
Use this site as a reference point to what guys are wearing in the real world

Japanese geardos, good stuff as usual!

Good retailer, we cant buy from them, but they have pics of very rare and hard to find gear from certain retailers like LBT, use them if you want good pics of something to buy in North America

http://www.special-warfare.net/data_base/index.html
This is probably one of my all time favourtes since Specwarcom closed down. They have amazingly detailed pics of their impressions, a large area with pics of every piece of gear they use. Its Japanese, so use a translator, they have tonnes of great guides too about various stuff, like making a good SOPMOD aeg with reviews of all the aftermarket kits and what the best ones are.

feedback?

seasactiongear.com will have all you need to recreate any american uniform, and they are from calgary, so they have canadian prices.

sorry thats sealsactiongear.com.. typo

www.tacticalresponsegear.com

Everything on the site is IN STOCK. The guys that run it are great. Will be ordering some SDS stuff later this month from them if they can get it in.

www.creativeoutdoors.ca

They're located in markham and have stuff from all over the world

Wow how did I not make the early edition of this page?

Won't call the police when you ask for a bag to carry your AK47 and tact vest.
I'm a player I know what you are talking about, and I'm a cadpat pimp too.

www.reconairsoft.com / www.recon-tactical.com

Just got my ACU IBA / combat boots from them. Pretty good guy to deal with, though sometimes out of stock items take a long time to get in stock. They've got lots of ACU stuff, plus they'll also do custom MultiCam orders too.

How long did it take to get your order? How much did shipping come to? Thinking of ordering my stuff to finish off my ACU.

Anyone know which ones seel authentic gear rather then reproduction?

All of those mentioned above

I'll have to second http://www.uscav.com as they've got good selection, good prices, and are stocked with Airmen Battle Uniform.

http://www.miluniform.com Good place to get the final touches from (great for Gen 2 IR IFF)

http://www.camotech.com/index.htm Great place to get ARPAT custom items (patches, ARPAT flags, etc.)

I'm really not sure if this is the place to ask, but since it's a thread for websites selling US Gear...

Anyone order off of www.bdu.com ? I'm thinking about purchasing some stuff off there, because there prices seem great, but as It's not been mentioned here before, I was a bit skeptical

Cheers :)

Did years ago, they were legit.

Your Country is blocked.


Edit: a proxy works but would they still ship if you ordered?
