I just got this one in the mail today. It came with the radio pouch and I just purchased several authentic pouches to complete the set up.

I already had this one in my collection. I have never seen a photo of it in use during combat or training. Its the exact same vest, but in coyote brown.

NICE!

 

I didn't know you collect modern stuff!

I just started about a year ago. Some of this stuff is available locally at the gear shops and army/navy stores in Jacksonville, NC. I would rather collect it now while it's cheep. On the other hand, the HABD bottle on the back of the coyote vest cost almost as much as I paid for both of the vests combined (ebay crushed me on it).

I’m just missing the .45 magazine pouches. They are woodland Safriland SFLS pouches. I’ll keep looking, but no luck yet. The pick below shows the pouches.

This is awesome. I love the modern SOF stuff and while recon technically isn’t SOF I still count it as such. Both of those kits look amazing, but you are right I don’t think the Coyote AAV was used by recon, as FSBE II came out in the early 2000s which was in coyote brown and replaced the FSBE I kits.

Here are some of the Coyote Brown ones in use. (2nd Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team Company, 3rd Platoon, USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19), South China Sea, March 26, 2005.)
