And thats about all I found. Now just to find someone who REALLY has to have it....LOL

I was reading the thread last night and in front of me was a copy of an Osprey book War in Indochina and I looked at the french rucks which had a rivet where the strap tabs on pockets were sewn and a light went on.

I wouldnt accept it was rarely used because of one guy. depends on unit. If I'm running around with a Bpe I'd hate a vest like that. If I'm Halftrack mounted and dismount for local action having 6 mags handy aint bad. I know guys who still prefer the PASGT helmet to the ACH
