Just ordered some more parts per your links 👍

[@hughg6440]

What about not for larping?

[@junixsk8]

Ps: Chin strap no longer available. Ordering another clone now😅

[@mikesimms5750]

Be advised: amazon rails are hit or miss on QC. Mine had too much curve and flattening against the helmet led to the dovetail accessories not sliding through the slot. Order from the US distributor. They appear to have cloned the rail better.

[@taborjint2.097]

Link(s) to surplus helmets?

[@RealCujo]

God I feel old. We used baklavas with the standard webbing. The snaps were always a issue and NVGs were 2nd gen headache inducing green soup garbage.

[@mikeserot1410]

I think you mean balaclava, not baklava 😅

[@RealCujo]

[@ImVexuli]

​@@mikeserot1410lol making me hungry 😂😅

[@tire26]

No joke. None of us ever considered counterbalancing for NVGs. As inventive as we typically were with that kind of thing, I'm surprised. Just develop neck muscles and enjoy the headaches ha.

[@Pallium_Industries]

You should check out those one-piece helmet pads for CVCs, that's what I've used since 2019 with no problems. They're black and the inside material visible from the top almost looks like bubble wrap.

[@BabyFaceP]

Have a link?

[@Pallium_Industries]

@@BabyFaceP i got it from supply when i was in the army

[@Nperez1986]

You can also do this to the ECH helmet for a higher NIJ rated protection :)

[@ketononeill8898]

Can't wait for part 2! Great stuff

[@ketononeill8898]

You're just inspiring and educating me, man. First, the side folder AKM now this 😂

[@ElMachoMucho]

For the rails I REALLY recommend going for only well vetted American companies. Most of the cheap foreign ones dont fit a majority of attachments and if they do they break very easily.

[@franciscallahan2529]

i recommend getting the cheaper ones

[@bobsagetbillboard1876]

If you can find an Eagle industries helmet cover they are excellent accessories for the ACH. In terms of night vision mounts I like the Norotos TATM mount with the 1 or 3 hole shrouds and the Wilcox L3 G10.

[@Nperez1986]

It has been hard finding these for $100...if you are lucky. If anyone is trying to find any I do have access to military surplus in a number of locations for the ACHs

[@parkeranderson9399]

I cant find an ach for anything lower than $250 rn. Can you send that info over?

[@scruffy50531]

This will also work for PASGT helmets i believe, at least the liner and strap system

[@chaoticcaninejb]

Can't wait for part II

[@louiesouthgate8347]

The ACH is great but something bothers me with arc rails generally in my own opinion they make the helmet stick out a bit more in a combat setting, back when I was deployed we use these surefire lights that attach to the side of the helmet sometimes they suck but low profile.

[@SergioHernandez-zv5wc]

If you cut it so it’s more like a high cut that eliminates the width issue. Also puts it within the weight range of an actual high cut.

[@YooperDanKulka]

So what's the places to order this stuff?

[@Proverbs-qv9iu]

Great video 👍🏾

[@ReviveHF]

These old school helmets are perfect for high intensity combat situations such as trench warfare. In large scale war breaks out between the nations, M1 Steel Helmet, ACH and ECH works better than high cut designs like FAST.

[@idiotdoulbeo5]

I agree but i’m a bit curious on how the Fast Helmets arent recommended?

[@ReviveHF]

@@idiotdoulbeo5 FAST offers less coverage but still the most viable helmets for Counter Insurgency operations.

[@PurpleIsALetter]

​@@idiotdoulbeo5high cut helmets offer less protection around your ears, which is more of a concern when you are expecting a lot of indirect fire or other shrapnel delivery methods. There's a reason the Army still issues full-sized helmet like the ACH, ECH and IHPS

[@idiotdoulbeo5]

@@PurpleIsALetter Ah, thank you.

[@jedicoolgamer5517]

Hell yeah! God bless the MICH 2000 design low cut helmets!🇺🇸😎❤️

[@johnsarangel]

it’s good to modernize the ACH helmet. but for basic safety, and for a typical civilian who will use the helmet just for protection, it is good to retain the ear cover for additional protection…

[@user-pc8tb7hg1lHandlesRDumb]

I'm curious what would people mount on the sides? An IR spot light or camera or somthing else? and then you need to offset the weight.

[@OptOutofGunControl]

Audio devices are one type of attachment that would go on the sides.

[@user-pc8tb7hg1lHandlesRDumb]

@@OptOutofGunControl or a face shield I just remembered

[@safetyharborfirearms]

Have 7 helmet shells to build/mod and test actual shrapnel resistance :-)

[@aesthetic8780]

How can I paint my helmet like the grainy/sandy ops core coating? :( Please help. I find nothing about it... I need this grainy texture paint on my helmet

[@BabyFaceP]

Textured spray paint should work

[@fossil6845]

Rustoleum is the standard.

[@OverNightVision]

Fuckin super helpful my guy

[@wrogersclark]

Thanks

[@DUD3_BR0]

Where can you even find ach helmets for 100?? I can't find anything under 200.

[@BabyFaceP]

The place I found them sold through them already it looks like.

[@luke50469]

Where do you get the helmets?

[@autisticANDarmed]

Ebay

[@jefffefferson8339]

Buy once; cry once. If you are serious about your job, buy OEM from confirmed Berry Compliant dealers. You'll live longer.

[@AEtrane]

People serious about their jobs probably aren't watching videos like this 😂 If their job is really that serious, then their employer probably supplies them with good kit.

First. Thanks as always P

[@SOb-1980]

Could you link the rails?

[@BabyFaceP]

Pinned comment

[@0Logan05]

Zytel… Glass filled Nylon #6(or #12) .. That’s pretty much The Standard for doodads…

[@mikesimms5750]

Guess everyone is on this shit now cause they want fuckin 300 for a surplus ACH it's ridiculous. May as well just buy a new Armor Source or go up to a Wendy or Opscore.

[@parkeranderson9399]

I know cant find any ach helmet for under like $250 rn

[@sportbrand1171]

This is an amazing idea. Not such an amazing idea, Name this a "Baby Bump". Lol

[@BoogedyBobby]

Anybody know if the pads and retention would work for an orlite helmet?
