That looks awesome! Excellent job on the PC as well; dud you find instructions online?
Also what was the original color for those parts before you dyed them? I'm interested in doing the same. |

I did the PC by using my Mayflower APC as a general guide on the specifics and modified the plate pockets to be just big enough for a large SAPI sized plate, and scaled down the cummerbund a bit. It was a lot of setup and measuring to keep everything lined up, but not too bad really.
For dyeing the Magpul stuff, get the FDE color items first and use them as a base for your dying. The Foliage can also be used, but they are more scarce and will take the color differently. Remember that you can only go darker when you dye. Here is the big Mega thread on dying polymer items from years back. Lots of good info there. |

Why the grey trend? I know manufacturers are pushing it since its something new to buy, but foliage green already has a greyish tint to it so why bother with grey? Is there any science behind it?

Cooked up a little hydro carrier/micro pack for the back of my PC. Holds a 50oz bladder with a bit of wiggle room and has two external pouches for misc items. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25626665/Gear/52866008.png View Quote That looks great! You really got a hand for sewing. I'm in the market for a bladder for my PC; want to keep it the Low Ober van le grey though. |

I hate to use the cliche "grey man" reference, but it works as a muted, earth-toney color while not immediately screaming Military or LEO. Plus with the abundance of tactical fashion with tans and camo proliferating even civilian clothing trends, we gear aficionados have to find something else to stay on the bleeding edge.

Happy to see others are liking the colour as well.
Currently wanting to get some gre on my rifle. Wanting to add the new SD stock and grip, and the BCM front angled grip. Anyone know if they are similar in tone? |

Got a Camelbak Trizip for super cheap on eBay. Put it through daily use, outdoor use, and travel. Absolutely loved it, so the next step was to buy the "real deal". It's definitely my favorite pack if the size is needed. The suspension system Mystery Ranch uses is incredible. One part of the hike I was on, when this picture was taken, I actually forgot I had it on. Maybe it was because I was exhausted, but I think this pack is just that good. |

I really like the gray stuff, although it sends every company has its own gray, so unless you source from 1 company it can look patchwork.
I'm sticking with Ranger Green for the time as it seems to bridge well between OD, FG, and gray. If I was to switch to gray I'd strongly consider MAS grey, as it seems like it will have backing add a standardized color. |
