37thguy Posted March 24, 2015 Author #26 Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks, that's how I like 'em. No scuffs, scrapes,...nada! Hopefully they'll be a good investment as well. Once you get into the ones with rails and velcro, the skies the limit. All kinds of accessories can be added. Sort of like Barbies for guys!
Hellfish41 Posted March 24, 2015 #27 Posted March 24, 2015 Indeed. Some accessories you just can't go without.
taucco Posted March 24, 2015 #28 Posted March 24, 2015 congratulations on these very nice and mint helmets. As you said the mount on the pasgt is the latter model plastic PVS7 mount (there is an earlier one that is the one pictured here https://westernrifleshooters.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/police_state-newsweek.jpg that one in the picture is bolted, but it came originally with a slighlty different OD ratchet strap). a more common would be the later metal mount. Did you put the nvg mount on the ACH as well? One of the newer gold colored ones may be kosher as well (wither an identical one or the revised model http://nightlongind.com/norotos-rhino-ii-titanium-with-helmet-mount-demo/ )
37thguy Posted March 24, 2015 Author #29 Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks, I went with black as it's earlier than the gold or tan ones. Looking for a silver one yet. Love the Mario character! Havent heard from any of the mods I contacted about getting us a split from the Steel guys and having our own Kevlar side. Maybe I'll go higher up.

Matthew Harkin Posted March 28, 2015 #32 Posted March 28, 2015 I would also like the idea of having a seperate area for 1980-present helmets. I love learning about the ACH and LWH. It will be cool to see the ECH in the next few years make its way to the collecting market. Just curious were is everyone finding the high cut ACH helmets?
37thguy Posted March 28, 2015 Author #33 Posted March 28, 2015 Hey Matt We'll just keep adding pics and new topics. At some point it will have to be done. High and mid cuts are very hard to find. I have a Rabintex thats High cut and Hydro dipped in Multi cam for sale.
Matthew Harkin Posted March 28, 2015 #34 Posted March 28, 2015 37thguy Thats one thing I have to start doing adding pictures of my stuff I have plenty of oif/oef stuff I have bought recently. Well if thise helmets dont sell buy the end of April I might be interested. My job starts up again soon.
37thguy Posted March 28, 2015 Author #35 Posted March 28, 2015 Let me know it might still be around. On Ebay now.
Matthew Harkin Posted March 29, 2015 #36 Posted March 29, 2015 Can and will do when I have the funds to make my next helmet purchase. In the mean time I will learn to post some of my collection up.
37thguy Posted April 11, 2015 Author #37 Posted April 11, 2015 Just purchased a complete, NIB MSA Medium ACH in OD Green. Will have it the beginning of next week, and of course there will be pics. The Ebay seller is almost giving these away at $110. Here's the site: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSA-MICH-US-Army-Advanced-combat-helmet-ACH-Tactical-kevlar-helmet-Medium-/251914960964?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aa74d4044 If none are listed, message him and he'll add another one. Tell him 37thguy sent you. I don't know this seller, just want to pass on a good deal to fellow collectors! The green ones seem to be harder to find, at least for me. Hope this is OK to do? If not, Mods feel free to remove. Again, just trying to have my fellow Kevlar collectors get in on a great deal. Remember they are Mediums ONLY. Let me know if you get one. Good luck.
37thguy Posted April 14, 2015 Author #38 Posted April 14, 2015 An update for the above post: I received the OD Green ACH today. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it came in the Original Factory shipping box! When opened it is in it's palstic bag and has the Users Manual as well. I can't state enough what a deal these are at only $135 shipped. It hasn't a mark on it. It is as fresh as Spring time daffodil. Pics forthcoming.
72psb Posted April 14, 2015 #45 Posted April 14, 2015 I have one on the way! Can't wait to see it. Bob
37thguy Posted April 14, 2015 Author #46 Posted April 14, 2015 You'll be VERY happy with it. Even has the Manual in the bottom!
