[Last Edit: murderman]
There have been several threads in the past; here is a chance to consolidate current concepts for the topic.
Ballistic rig on the left, scout rig on the right. The plates are both bolted down to keep from changing position, with the top strap minimizing stress on that joint, as well as providing a very convenient place to ty-rap the Guardians. The MSA rig is balanced on a styrofoam mannequin head with the PVS both up and down; it is like that on a real head as well. 
Edited to add a couple shots with the CSM bracket: 
Updated with the do rag replacement pic. 
Latest mods...some paint and an M600C/KM2:

Curious how it looks from that vantage point. Yeah, but I removed the NVG mount from the helmet. 
Admittedly, the mount for the GoPro is about 2 degrees off-center. It's close enough that I don't want to try to get the adhesive mount off. |

Crye doesn't stock JPC's in m81 pattern. If they did, I would buy one. I spoke with them and a few other companies at SHOT, they weren't interested in doing anything for anyone that wasn't a Coolguy. |

If anyone is looking for a budget rig or loaner, there is an ACH in the EE with a bunch of extras for only $50 + shipping. Not mine, and I don't know the seller just thought I would pass on a good deal to the NV bros. I don't think you will find cheaper ballistic protection.

Finally got my budget helmet rig together. It consist of a $300 Highcom helmet, Ops Core rails and harness, Team Wendy Epic helmet liner, Peltor Tactical 100 earpro, S.O.E. battery pouch, Norotos mount, and an Armasight C.O.R.E. on a home built adaptor and Butler Creek cap.
The earpro is held in place with a combination of Crye rail adapters and some $12 Peltor hard hat mounts.

The only thing missing on the helmet is Skittle marks. I hope to remedy that this Summer. |

It looks like a material I have tested, that GLOWS bright white under IR, not sure if you care or not, depending on your use...so just FYI... I haven't but I will check it out. Thanks! NP man, I suspect it will look like woven fiberglass cloth shinning in the day light. If you know what that looks like...LOL

Did you know you can convert a stock ACH H nape in to an X nape just by removing the H nape pad, releasing the straps all the way out and crossing the rear straps? I am sure everyone in the world knew that you could, but I didn't so I figured someone may learn from me too.
SO MUCH BETTER, don't even "need" a counter weight pouch anymore though it is still there to hold batteries. I used to have to crank the straps down so hard my head would hurt after a half hour, now its just lightly snug and much more comfortable. |

So a long journey later I am done with my helmet setup. About a month and a half ago I bought an Airframe. Initially I thought I bought a ATX, but turns out it was just a regular (relief for me). However, the ordeal was it had a 4-Hole drill pattern (lame).
Bought it used: 
New paint: 
It took me forever for someone to tell me if the Team Wendy Cam-Fit screws would work with the Airframe's ARC rails. Turns out they do. Also, Ops Core mailed me new screws too. They are tricky little screws to track down. 
This last weekend, my ANVIS mount crapped out again. Luckily Sentinels have the battery on them. 
So in comes this guy: Not a lot of good info on it but based on the description I knew it would do what I wanted to (give me a shroud for a Wilcox Mount). 
Next, the Wilcox G24: 
More Wilcox G24 on 4 Hole: 
Full Setup: 
All in all, quite pleased with the way this turned out. I was looking at spending $400-$500 on a SAM Mount because I had this ANVIS mount crap out twice. The first time, I was able to take it apart and get it working again. This time no such luck. I am tired of messing with the mount and went the Wilcox route. I will miss the auto shutoff on the flip up.

After screwing up my paint job several times, I found a helmet cover on sale so I bought it. I also finally got a cheap IR laser/illuminator. And I got some patches for cheap on ebay. I got one blank flag patch, and ordered some BFL stickers. I'm hoping I can turn it into a BFL flag patch.
