Here’s some more data from FMJ:

We are proud to introduce the first of a couple in house replicas available exclusively through Full Metal Jacket LLC.

Black Ops Coporation, Kandahar is revered as one of the only companies that made domestically produced designs in Afghanistan that were used by various ISAF members via private purchase in the markets outside of Kandahar Air Base. These plate carriers and other tactical gear were made sub-par compared to US made gear, but served their purpose to those who needed something and did not have time to wait for the right thing to come from home.

These are 1:1 Replicas made in the USA that are 100% Berry compliant. These vests will hold up a bit better than the originals that are close to unobtanium nowadays after the pull out of Afghanistan. The original vests will remain desirable, these will be easy to tell the difference and cannot be passed off as originals to collectors.

Features:

• Medium/Large Plate Bag, fits most standard Medium (10″x12″) and Large (11″x13″) SAPI cut plates.
• Removable Padded Shoulder Pads
• Highly Adjustable Shoulder Straps
• One Size Fits All Velcro Cummerbund
• Velcro Patch Panel on the front
• 7 Rows of M.OL.L.E. wide,
• Double Stitiched where it needs to be reinforced, bartacked where it matters.
