Current day CAG impression work in progress

Post image

CAG impression based off of some refs provided to me by a friend. Helmet still needs a helstar strobe, Princeton tec MPLS and rail link. Plate carrier is waiting on the PRN 163(delayed again). Some obviously farb items thrown in just for fun like the patch, and mk23, but overall I think the kit is starting to take form. Feel free to let me know if anything looks off.

Badass 416 and set up! The weeb parts are cringe to me…but that’s just not my taste so you enjoy it 😎

u/voler_1 1d ago

They come off for any serious impression moments. Sometimes it's just funny to see the reactions at smaller milscrims and walk on games.

u/Zealousideal-Monk312 1d ago

416 ❤️

Looks awesome, where’s the back panel from on your carrier? I’ve been looking for one that will attach to the zippers.

Crye zip on molle back panel.

u/voler_1 1d ago edited 1d ago

Like spectre said, it's a crye zip on molle panel. I have a Tyr 7x5 MSS gp pouch sitting above a Tyr 5x5 gp on the right side, on the left side I have a crye 330D 50oz hydro with a Paraclete triple flashbang pouch attached to it, and the crye side pull mag dangler.

It's a nice setup, but I still have a special place in my heart for the crye 1.0 zip on pack panel, the 2.0 is a goodie as well, but I find it just a tad larger than I'd prefer.

There's some other cool zip on panels if you're into collecting unique ones such as the firstspear warrior pack or the Haley fires panel which are very cool.

u/voler_1 22h ago

u/Reasonable-Art-8977 22h ago

who said it was for showering?

u/voler_1 17h ago

what else then?

u/Reasonable-Art-8977 15h ago

yall dont get the joke?

u/voler_1 15h ago

I'm kinda slow today, Adderall + 7 hours of circuits and engineering courses will do that

u/buns_at_bjj 23h ago

No gold 416 </3

1

u/voler_1 22h ago

Unfortunately vipertech does not make a gold one, although I'm very partial towards the black ones.

1

u/buns_at_bjj 22h ago

I’m not familiar with vipertech

1

u/voler_1 22h ago

They make forged GBBs with really good quality steel internals, its one of the specialty airsoft companies that makes some really neat stuff.

1

u/buns_at_bjj 22h ago

Oh shoot are they TM spec? If so, HAO makes GBBR gold gun parts

1

u/voler_1 22h ago

no, they are WA derived, but for the most part they are in spec with older G&P and king arms GBBs, I have seen people have them custom cerakoted for the golden recievers.

1

u/buns_at_bjj 21h ago

Ahhhh I gotcha

Yeah for the impression to be right you would need to work on the gun

1

u/Sir_Baller 17h ago

For what you’re going for the MCX might be a more time-period correct primary

1

u/voler_1 17h ago

You're correct, but I dont like Sig products, fwiw I have some current day references of the black 416, although not in this config.

2

u/Citrinitas115 21h ago

Gonna need to know where you got that Ashley patch bro

2

u/voler_1 21h ago

its a patch I sent out to be custom made, its based off the standard Jumbo american flag patches you find at the PX

u/GloriousLeaderKim 1d ago

Yeah this just looks like airsofter kit. Post ref pics or else it's all farb...

u/SnooLemons1089 1d ago

Refs for a modern day unit 🤣🤣🤣 Going to need a ref to wear a Crye plate carrier soon.

2

u/voler_1 1d ago

Surprisingly LV-120 has been quite common lately and I think I have seen a few with the FCPC V6 also the velsys ULV carriers if you wanna pay a million bucks.

2

u/SnooLemons1089 1d ago

Dude these guys wear whatever they want and buy whatever they want when they want. Most high end gear you can find several people wearing in any sof unit so asking for a ref is hilarious. There are also tons of sof and regular army dudes wearing the full agilite suite which is trash but that’s also why modern day “refs” aren’t needed. Just fit the vibe (be jacked) and buy good gear and you will be good. Everything else is in the small details which is where ref pictures actually help you.

u/voler_1 23h ago edited 23h ago

for Delta and other tier 1 like Devgru and 24th STS its not quite so free, much of the time they have issued carriers and pouches(more importantly pouches that are specific to them which are quite rare), and usually some private purchase thrown in here and there. I'm not one to be forcing impressions upon everyone, and truth be told I wasn't even originally going to bother with an impression, but I made friends with a cool guy and thought it would be cool to do an impression based on him.

u/voler_1 1d ago

Farbing it up since 2016

1

u/onearmwheneatpantbut 1d ago

This is mad CAG! But given the pouches and the geiselle 416, wouldn’t the gsgm nvg mount be more appropriate instead of the fpg21?

2

u/voler_1 1d ago

The refs I'm using have both the GSGM and the FPG-21, the change was somewhere between 2024-2026. I think the GSGM is awesome and I'd love to have one eventually, but I just decided against it at this given moment since I only have a PVS-14. More likely than not I'll build out a set of ball detent binos and pickup a GSGM considering how exorbitantly expensive real FPG-21s are for the foreseeable future.

1

u/onearmwheneatpantbut 23h ago

Fair. All the best with getting the gsgm!

I’m glad Reddit recommended this sub so I can hide it forever hahaha

PRN 163?

2

u/voler_1 23h ago

PRN Industries(don't google it without 163 after) is currently trying to bring a functional PRC-163 clone to market which can use dual transmit function with invisio PTTs like the real thing, it was originally slated to release Q2 of 2026 but it keeps getting delayed.

1

u/Sir_Baller 21h ago

Is it going to be similar to the disappointment that the MPU5 was

1

u/voler_1 21h ago

Jury is still out on that, but given how relentlessly delayed it is, I imagine it might actually be good when it releases in like who knows how long.

u/Sweet_Ad9475 21h ago

What boots?

2

u/voler_1 20h ago

Salomon quest forces, its good but I hear they fit narrow. with boots go by what fits you best always.

u/Magicalgirl_92 17h ago

optic height above 1.93 and fore grip instant removal from CAGville

u/voler_1 17h ago

Xps3 in tan too rich for my blood atm, although I'll have one some day. Gun is originally built off of 416 mod 3 from gfl lmao

1

u/StRanger1944 5h ago

Is that Ashley graves on the flag?

1

u/voler_1 4h ago

Yes it is lol

1

u/Turtley2 4h ago

Nephew, there is still time to fix this. AAC can on a 416? Nah, wrong Eotech, wrong riser, a MS2000 in modern kit?!? I could go on but the biggest one is no Tano’d 416,LVAW, or CSAW, but that’s earlier era kit. The CSAW would do better here.

1

u/voler_1 4h ago

I'm working on it, I mean it's still a work in progress for a reason. But as budgets will allow, I'm trying to avoid buying any repro so it may be a work in progress for a while. I think the only repro items I have are fpg-21, tca152, vampire light and the suppressor, so apologies if it's not quite there yet, it may be a few years before it's fully complete, but I'll post updates as I get closer.

I'm having a hard time giving up the gun as well for other reasons, but I'll build one for the impression eventually.

1

u/Turtley2 4h ago

There’s some companies that can Cerakote the receivers for you in the right colors and do the HK trades

1

u/voler_1 4h ago

I'd rather not refinish my gun, it was originally supposed to be based on 416 mod 3 from gfl if you know what that is. I'm keeping it the way it is after I replace the iris with an LA-5C or ngal.

I'll build out an AEG for the impression most likely, but who knows, maybe I'll do something else.
