BrokenShovelDude Posted November 14, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 14, 2008 Here's my SOG impression so far ( I also plan on doing VN 101st ABN but thats a LONG way to go- especially since im working more towards a Philippine scouts impression) well anyway here it is original items include: Korean War era Pistol Belt Field phone (still trying to find out which era it's from-the markings are too hard to make out) M67 (?) suspenders M1 carbine 15 round mag pouch-1944 dated- (will eventually be replaced by two M16 pouches) Canteen cup (vietnam) Canteen cover (post vietnam) Vietnamese M16 Bandolier (It has vietnamese markings on it) and everything else is stuff I got at surplus stores- ya I know its the WRONG TIGERSTRIPE if you want to see anything tell me and I'll take a picture yes I have a lazy eye thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjerickson Posted November 14, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 14, 2008 dont see the need for the M-1 Carbine pouches, and why go to universal pouches if your going to carry a shotgun? is that an Ithaca shotgun? Its got a pretty short barrel is it US Marked?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenShovelDude Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted November 14, 2008 dont see the need for the M-1 Carbine pouches, and why go to universal pouches if your going to carry a shotgun? is that an Ithaca shotgun? Its got a pretty short barrel is it US Marked?? Well the M1 carbine was used by early advisors but I figured It just filled in the empty space on the belt. I plan to replace the shotgun with an XM177 or M3A1 replica. And no it's an M870 that I sawed off- it's a crappy airsoft gun I painted to look like a vietnam era shotgun because I used to do Vietnam airsoft but I lost interest after a while.

Dirteater101 Posted November 18, 2008 Share #4 Posted November 18, 2008 Get rid of the 1980's nylon canteen cover. and with all impressions, wash the uniforms a few dozen times and wallow in some mud and leave it to "set" in. Than you will look appropriate. Tiger stripes take on a different look when faded, that is what I did with mine. You will also want at least two canteens, the jungle is a thirsty place. As for weapons, you really have little restrictions, I carry a G-3 for mine. Was a bitch to blank adapt, but so totally worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask for Mr. Lowell Stevens (CSM Retired). He can set you straight on the basic gear for a SOG Warrior. Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Yeah, Don't listen to me....Lowell Stevens served in the SOG Teams and as a MACV Recondo Instructor in Vietnam and is featured in correspondence relating directly to SOG. He's gruff but one of the dwindling number of SOG Vets left around. Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
