90's era ranger rifleman loadout?

SO from what i've gathered
3 color desert BDU (have these)
tan boots (have these)
6 color desert cover for PASGT (have PASGT)
m16a2 (considering the G&G m16a2)
gen 1 or gen 2 lbv? (not sure on which one and not sure what style camo)

anything else?

ALICE is better. Those LBVs never made it into an Issue-Item. Besides, those LBVs suck really bad. I used to have one, but I traded it for a barrel condom and seven dollars, haha.

oh, i thought they used a LBV what kind of ALICE rig was used?

Just an ALICE rig. They're all the same. You can roll with H-Suspenders or Y-Suspenders, either one will work. The pouches and belt is the same either way. I will certainly help you out with a list for the ALICE gear if you're interested.

yes please, I've decided after earning enough for my WE mags I will be investing further into this which will now include ALICE rig and G&G plastica series m16a2 (heard a TON of good bout it)

ALICE rig will be Y- or H-Suspenders and....

Web Belt
2x LC-1 Universal Small Arms Pouches
2x LC-1 Canteen Pouches w/ Canteens
LC-1 Buttpack
LC-1 First Aid Kit



Once I get back to Albuquerque, I'll try to take a pic of my ALICE rig, if you'd like.

awesome thanks! where would i pick up a alice rig? surplus? and until i can pick it up i'll use my LBV but soon as i can pick it up that things going back in the closet! lol

You have to buy the pieces and put it together. You can find them everywhere. I'll try to link you to some later.

awesome thanks )

You can get it from a surplus but here is a trusted sight. http://www.armynavydeals.com/asp/Default.asp?

Hahhaa I just did this for my sniping loadout, not exactly the same but a lot like it. Like he said they are everywhere, I went into the surplus store and I saw every thing he posted. Instead of buying the ALICE but pack though I got a molle one (it's better and works on both my alice and my Cross Draw) as for that it's simple I can honestly say it will run you at max 70 dollars.

That's about how much mine ran me, too. I ended up spending $30 on a brand new never used GI-Issue butt pack.
The site phredryxun linked you to is where I bought most of my ALICE rig.

awesome! thanks alot guys!! I can't wait to get all this put together and of course get pics of it, as far as side arm I'm not gonna buy a new pistol lol just gonna use 1911 but anyone used the G&G GR16 A2 plastica? I've heard alot of good but just wondering

UPDATE: local surplus is selling y suspenders and a belt for 20 bucks!
gonna pick it up when team goes to CQB field, will pick up 6 color desert cover as well.
its all coming together

Yeah, I do recommend you get MOLLE pouches, I know it's not exactly 90's but I know you have a MOLLE vest so it could be a universal thing for you.

The key piece of kit that separated 90's Ranger kits from other kits are the Rangers woodland pattern Ranger Body Armor(RBA).

That and Tan boots weren't really common until the current war in Iraq. It was all black leather baby!

I own a GR-16 A2. Can't speak for the plastica. I've had no problems with mine. I know a guy with a different model GR whose magazine catch fell off. The accuracy wasn't quite what I wanted, so I dropped in a new 6.01, bucking, and a metal hop unit (G&G uses plastic as you may know). Now the accuracy is excellent and the fps is still safely under 400. It can just barely handle .28g BBs with maximum hop now. I'd recommend .25 though.

already plan on putting a 6.01 and a KA hop up unit and .25s is all I use

I thought they also wore PASGT vests in Somalia? Didn't they?

hmmm... I'll pick up the body armour eventually, don't really like carrying stuff like that when its 90+ degrees out
thanks for the info thought sticks

well I have 3 options, either turn my older KM4 into a m16a3 (wouldnt be authentic i know) buy the pro line G&G m16a2 or buy the sportline G&G m16a2

I would just buy one of the M16a2's if I was you, make it simple on yourself. Plus it gives you another gun to add to your armory.

Jarhead, the normal army had PASGT/interceptors(late 90's). But the Rangers used the RBA for most of the 90's.

Okay, got it. Thanks for clearing that up sticks!

update: im still picking up my ALICE rig but as far as the gun something came up, (SCAR issues and have to buy a NPAS kit for it)
what about a delta loadout of that era?
same gear just different helmet and/or weapon?
