The Force Recon & MARSOC Thread

[Conker]

Took the time to go through all my MARSOC pics for any DM rifles, and that's what I got...

I believe it's
Mk 11 Mod 0: #1, 3, 4, 6, 7
Mk 11 Mod 2: #5, 8
M14: #2
Or I am wrong?

And Drake posted an M39 earlier which I had too.

@Drake, yes it's for DM role. I'm finishing to gather my basic MARSOC operative gear, then probably over the winter I'll work on the DM kit.

#8 is a Mod 1 (no ambi controls, no adjustable stock)

#5 is interesting... it has a FH so it's definitely an M110 upper, Magpul PRS stock (non-standard mod), lower doesn't look ambi... looks like someone got a Mod 1 and felt ripped off and installed his own adjustable stock.


Just noticed #4 is unusual, too: it's got a RAS collar, so its not a Mk1, it's also got the PRS stock and its not using the usual SR25/Mk11 suppressor (low res image, hard to tell, but it kinda looks like the KAC QD suppressor). It's also not using the usual SR25 optics, instead sporting what looks like a one piece scope mount (KAC?) and an offset/canted Docter Sight.

Any of you guys know what shotgun MARSOC use? I know there is the M870 and M500 but which version?

Is it the folding stock? Like this one:

[Yannos]

I don't have all my kit yet as you can see. But the big chunks are there!

-Mix of Pantac/Flyye CB Pouches for ammo/utilities.
-Pantac CB duty belt w/leg panel for pouches not on SPC
-BHI CT Hydration Carrier

And all the necessary items for airsofting... (batteries, water, BB's, speed loaders)

Hey, how'd you make that signature? I've been trying forever and never found out...

[Conker]

Got these pics on another airsoft forum... these are airsofters (well, "impressionnists", whatever).

This is exactly what I'm going for my greenside loadout, although I'll use my issued ILBE Assault Pack instead (I'd love the ILBE Recon pack, but way too expensive on the market right now).

However, as good as it looks, and plausible (most if it is apart of the FSBEII kit, or has been seen on MARSOC guys in other contexts), there's still no refpics of a similar setup yet... so comments or tips before I proceed are always welcome!

[JohnGol10]

Does MARSOC/FR use Sordin headsets?

Another question, would a Sordin/ComTac II headset fit under an LWH?

[JohnGol10]

Going to be modified again soon when I receive my next batch of FSBE stuff

[Conker]

Here's my own greenside kit I'm setting up for an upcoming operation.
Any comments? (besides that it isn't easy to see on this picture... I'll take some more with natural lightning tomorrow).

There's still some EBB pouches (easy to spot with its color) which I'm transitionning to Flyye/Pantac (or issue when I get a deal). The order has been made this morning, so within a month that should be good.



From left to right, on the RRV:
Medic
Single mag
MBITR (I hope to get a TCI MAST to wire the antenna on my back)
Single frag x2
Double mag
Canteen
C-A-T (top)
Admin (top)
TCI PTT (top)

On the ILBE assault pack:
Double mag
Smoke
Smoke
Flexcuffs
IFAK

and a fanny pack.

I also got the SU233 for my SOPMOD, but I removed it for now as I don't really need it for greenside ops. I also have a grippod on the way as the TD Battlegrip will go on my Block2 upper. I have the KAC rail covers, but I forgot to put them on for the pictures. I'll take more after the OP with some more natural wear anyway.

[Vince]

Technically Marine Recon are not issued ILBE system. It's a grunt thing. If you're going for MFR you should get EI Patrol Pack (Pantac has a version of it)

I'd also take off the PEQ15 as I've seen that maybe once in all the pics I've came across. Specter is the flavor of the year but ACOG would be good as well.

As for the rig itself, not too bad but I'd question the pouches layout... Are you a lefty? If not I'd move the MBITR to the left side. I know it's all AS but with a real MBTIR you'd have that whip antenna hampering a proper cheek wield of your gun. The centered frags strike me as odd as well, I'd personnaly move them to the side and consolidate the mags together.

But that's just me


I hope I don't sound too harsh or anything but I know you're looking at a "legit" looking kit
