It contains a Belt, Back Brace, Poncho holder, Bottle Pouch and plastic green bottle, 2 Large Kidney Pouches, and 2 double sets of Ammo Pouches. It was bought brand new and is ideal for use when training with the Army Reserve as it can be fitted properly to each individual and very durable to withstand even the worst conditions. Genuine reason for sale.:)

    Point of info: Irish Army DPM is subject to copyright rules therefore even if this is not Irish Army issued equipment it is in breach of copyright laws. Only people currently serving in the Army or Army Reserve are allowed to have this equipment or equipment in this pattern in their possession and then as I said only if it's been officially issued to them ;)

    As a military soldier I have used it and the CEFO is Irish DPM, It can be bought in any military or outdoor shop in Dublin and throughout the country. It is intended to be sold only to a fellow Military Soldier for legitimate use.

    While It looks to be Irish pattern that particular item is not an issued item so can be sold to anyone. All of the current issued kit is serial numbered for tracebility

    As regards the pattern, there is a shop in the curragh camp itself (im not here to advertise him so i wont mention names) that has been making a variety of products in Irish DPM for prossibly 10 years or more now without issues from the army.

    I supsect that is who manufactured this kit too as it looks very simular to what he made

    Anyone using it for poaching or other illegal activity has nothing to do with this thread. Just trying to sell a genuine article so no need for anymore input on the matter.
    GunHappy you are perfectly correct, that is where this CEFO came from.:)
    Now that we all know the origins of it we can leave it be and I can maybe see if anyone is interested in buying it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,590 ✭✭✭Tackleberrywho


    You should put it on th emilitary thread.

    I know th eshop you speak of guys, yes they can be bought.
    I have a chest rig myself as I find it more useful.

    I know a lot of guiys who would purchase, but they are on Military thread.

    Perhaps ask mod to move it for you??

    The Company that produces the above CEFO legally obtained the rights to produce load bearing equipment and other tactical equipment using an Irish DPM clone.

    It's perfectly legal for anyone to own the above CEFO.

    I agree. Not Irish (French)

    Moved to Military.

    This should be in the airsofter's forum. They'd cream themselves to get this.

    Protac makes them and he sells them for about €170

    No. It's Irish DPM.

    Here is the original set from the manufacturer.

    http://www.protac.ie/store/index.php/protac-equipment/kit-assemblies/protac-kit-a.html

    Protac is a shop in the Curragh that produces Irish DPM equipment (under license) and sells to both civilians and military. The are noted for making a lot of gear for the ARW. And the design basis of the current issue vest is based on the one made by Protac.

    It is perfectly legal for anyone to buy this.

    What is on the site is only a fraction of what they sell. There is a lot more available in the shop.

    This site sells some other Irish DPM gear (also perfectly legal):

    The design basis of the current vest came from an Arktis vest.

    The IPLCS was designed by a project team in the Ordnance Corps. One of the systems they looked at the most was the Protac Semi-modular vest. They also took feedback from the ARW who had been using that vest since 2003.

    The vest being not unlike the current one Protac are making:
    http://www.protac.ie/store/index.php/protac-equipment/vests/combat-vest.html

    Arktis was looked at but very little of any of their designs was taken on.

    There are very little design differences between the Protac rig and IPLCS. The most notable being:

    -IPLCS is mostly made from mesh rather then fabric like in the Protac vest.
    -IPLCS has a slightly different layout and number of pouches each with compression straps.
    -the IPLCS also has D-rings in various places, like inside he interior chest pockets, as well as a little pocket where you can put your TAM's.
    -and the IPLCS has more adjustment straps on it.

    That being said if you call protac when you order your vest you can have these same alterations made (except the mesh part i'd presume).

    well it's 58 pattern........so you'd probably have to pay someone to take it off you :D

    Seriously though, you can get a full OD green PLCE set in the army surplus in middleton for about 60quid shur and thats 10 times better then 58pattern.

    Id say you would be lucky to get 20quid for 58!

    not a hope, Its rolled in a box somewhere in my shed and it'll probably stay there. Something about the smell of 58.:D

    I've heard of that place in Midleton, seems to have some right bargains I believe.

    Ive never actually been there myself, but my friend has been there loads of times. Its just a massive warehouse selling army gear.

    Apparently everything is just stacked into big buckets and you just go through it till you find what you want.

    Like there'd be a massive bucket full of utility pouches, then another full of waterbottle pouches and another full of ammo pouches and so on.
