I removed a number of posts from this thread.  Keep it civil.


I didn't realize that mine was anything but civil.....so that's what happened?  Man, this place is getting to be as bad as ARFCOM.  :lol:

In a firefight, who is going to win, the Green Beret with his Ranger plates on his m4 mags, or some jihad with his ChiCom and AK mags? Hahahaha :lol:

You were right until you said this.. The US soldier would still win even if the gear was switched around here. All the cool gear in the world won't make you win a fight. ;)

1. Don't call them "Green berets". They are Special Forces or SF. Refering to them as Green berets shows a lack of knowledge, so now you know.

2. Yeah Greg is right. When I was still shooting competitively I would regularly outshoot people with $5k rifles with me $900 AR15. Gear can be a help, but it is no substitute for brains and training. Gear does not make the soldier.
I said it because I get tired of saying SF or special forces for some reason. Most don't even know that Green Beret's are in fact SF.

We need to change the name of this forum from AA to ADD.  You guys are so erratic with your posts, it's like reading four threads in one!

Now, to answer the original question:  You will be very, very lucky to find Genuine MCCUUs for less than 60 dollars.  Check ebay every now and then, and you might get lucky.  If you will settle for good knockoffs, expect to spend about 60-75 dollars new.

well, I may be wrong here... but if you dare to check pawn stores with lots of clothing, you can always stumble on BDU's.  And as it seems, most of those BDU's are issue BDU's that ex-servicemen are discarding because they've been sitting around in a closet forever.  I mean, i'm pretty sure the BDU's  i have are all issue because they've mostly come outta those stores and have been around for me for years and years, and are all just a bit different in material that a lot of the new stuff I see guys out with.

And yea... I have a friend (old neighbor) who got me some BDU's when I was younger from the ANG years and years ago.... and I know they're issue.

So getting older issue patterns isn't really to hard to get.  Its just the new stuff.  I mean, not 2 years ago all I saw photos of in magazines and in the paper was of solders in 3 color.  No MARPAT to be seen.

This stuff is heavy and lasts for a long, long time. Combat Cloth BDUs from Brigade Quartermasters.

Probably not the cheapest place, but the stuff wears. I have a few sets that lasted over 5 years of outdoor abuse.

40 bucks a set sounds pretty sweet, i could go down to dm or ft wachuka and look in thier base store or whatever. ill look into it

Don't you have to be in the military to go into a base?


either:
1: Active Duty Personnel - or -
2: Dependants of above

can purchase at a Base PX/BX Commissary

Access to Military Installations are reserved for Active Duty, Reservists/NG, CAP, Federal DoD Civil Servants, and DoD Contractors (like me...)

heres whats going on, i want a good set of military issue woodland digital bdus and i dont want to pay $30 for a shirt and $30 for pants (thats just letting someone rob you). ive looked in lots of my usual places but the prices seem too high or the bdus are fakes. does anyone know a good online store selling military issue digital for reasonable prices?


$30 a piece is the best price I've found, and I'd be suprised if you really found anything less.  These are brand new on the market, so you ain't gonna see 'em cheap.  ;)

If you live in Tucson go to the swap meet, there is always a guy there selling used BDU's, probably really cheap.  Just wash them a couple of times before use.

I have worn Genuine issue miltary BDU's, quite a few pair actually, and found them to be no better or worse than any of the ones found in surplus stores.  They last according to how you care for them.  They all fade, and they will all rip.  Longevity really shouldn't be a concern for airsofters, since you don't wear them daily, so buy what you can afford folks.  As for rigid military specs....thats a great laugh.  Thanks.

Not necessarily a factor of QC, but the all-cotton ripstop DCUs I bought faded and ripped faster than anything I've seen.

BDUs are sooo "out" right now, ABDUs are where it's at! ;)

I cant believe I just read 3 pages of this??   A couple swap meets and pawnshops.  :idea:  Try doing a simple web search for bdu.

Propper makes and ISSUES BDU's to the government.  If you look at the tags in what you are all calling ISSUE you will see a small note that says something like "made by Propper for the US government." not on all but on quite a few.  ALL of my issue BUD's are Propper.

Also BDU's come in as many fabrics as they do patterns.  You need to look at the materials and decide what will work best for you.  

Check out www.bdu.com If you don’t like Propper that’s fine, I don’t really care.  Everyone has their own opinion.  On their site they list different fabrics and what you can expect from them.  They have a flat $6.99 shipping and good service.  I have ordered from them and am happy with there service.  The BDU' start at $19.95 and I think the most expensive is $24.95 with the exception of the fireproof stuff.  

My $.02 take it or leave it I could care less.


-Edit-
Oh and if I have to say it.  Yes they have digital.
