The bayonet fits with the entrenching tool. You are also missing the gas mask, which was a drop down carrier on your left leg. Seeing this stuff brought back memories. Thanks.
@@grum8967 the etool can go onto the carrying strap thing on the buttpack, but by the book it goes on the back of the left hip (between the ammo pouch or canteen and the buttpack)
I wore that stuff when I started ROTC training in 1972. I still have my old and most favorite uniform (in all my 30 yrs in the Army) the OD jungle fatigues, jungles boots and other items.
My father fought in the Vietnam war and he doesn't like talking about anything about it but he was in south Korea defending the dmz and it's interesting to find out about this since he won't tell me
Your bipod came out as part of the m-1967 gear called MLCE or LLCE. That’s a nice set of gear you have. I will be doing a review my m-1956 LCE gear soon.
We had our compass on the left strap upper, I carried a K-Bar on my left suspender. Bayonets were worn on the web belt. GERNADE'S were worn on your suspenders and inside pockets. USMC 1987 to 1991. Not bad set up looked like my recon stuff but mine was black!
The bi-pod cover is late Vietnam war, I have the same one. It was my dads dad, and my dad has his original one he was issued. But where’d you get all this? I’m missing the suspenders and a mag pouch. (I’m doing 1990’s) btw, if you need any gear hit me up I have very random gear that people don’t think about to put in like the bandages toothpaste chapstick shit like that. Btw the bayonet thing, not even slightly inaccurate, guys did shit with there gear to stay Alice longer, btw the estimated time for a radio man was around 2-5 seconds, good video, hit me up if you need any gear, tips shit like that.
Ebay is the best place to find this stuff in my opinion. It can be a little pricey on Ebay though unless you're patient and wait to find this gear for the right price.
I'm thinking that the bi-pod case is late war because it looks to be all nylon. And also your web gear belt needs to be the one with 3 loop holes in it because the 2 hole nylon web gear, they did not have then.
@@maximilienrobespierre8871Do you know if any US army divisions used the buttpacks in vietnam? Specifically late war? Like the 1st Infantry division in 1968-70

Where does the E-Tool go into, I've seen it in a few pictures go on the butt pack but never an actual good photo

@@aimerhalalboy88ah thanks
thank you for your service sir
You did a great job of aging that holster. I would have never guessed that it was a repro judging by it and the video.
Thanks man, big fan of your channel
@@pepsiboi3798 thanks.
Damn until I saw your comment I thought it was real

We were still being issued that gear in the 1980s
Like the setup, nice review!
Good Video. Excellent Collection.

Go to some military surplus stores. They will have everything you need most likely
I'm thinking that the bi-pod case is late war because it looks to be all nylon. And also your web gear belt needs to be the one with 3 loop holes in it because the 2 hole nylon web gear, they did not have then.
Those y suspenders are Alice, not m67. Those were only used from the mid 70’s to the early 2000’s
Like the gear, but get a couple magazines to fill those pouches. You really short change yourself with the t-shirt. Again nice set up and video.
Check out the LRRP video on CZcams. Shows pics of the M67 nylon gear in use late war & he also has a complete set of M67 pre ALICE gear.
That's the correct bayonet for a Nam-period M-16, and it's name is M-7.
Your holster is a Vietnam mp holster
Those suspenders you showed at the end are completely wrong.and there are plenty of photos of the shorty pouches being used.
Ok I highly doubt he needs everything to be correct
What is the name of the belt and harness
Pistol belt and suspenders
They are part off the m56 web gear
how do you have that and how much is it?
I thought the U.S army preferred to use rucks over butt packs?
Depends on the length of the patrol and mission
Butt pack was issued to the Marines, not the army
Other way around bud, Marines used m56 late war but never used buttpacks.
Butt pack we’re issued to both branches, most people in marines and army didn’t chose to wear the butt packs anyway
