Military armored vest

[6132expert]

Is there any market for these? I am asking for the fact that I can trade for one tomorrow. It is US Army issued vest with the cavlar that protects uou from fragments and up to 9mm and it also has the front and back plate that protects up to 7.62. It also comes with cavlar helment. All in new digital.

I'm pretty sure that you can find someone to take it off your hands.

Sizes ? (both helmet and vest)

Research the price for those items - those SAPI plates are DAMN expensive!  Just make sure you're getting the value in the trade.  If you trade cheap on your side, and get that stuff "cheap," then you've made one hell of a deal.  <thumbsup>

The vest is a Medium and I'm not sure of the helmet size. What I am trying to do here with this trade is sell this stuff.

Hey! :rant2: I resemble that remark!

I personally own a BAE ECLiPSE RBAV-SF. I have level IIIa kevlar, but never got the SAPI plates. They were always too heavy and too expensive.

Depending on the type of carrier you have, it could be worth anywhere from $50-$350 dollars, just for the carrier.

The value of the kevlar is based on the manufacture date. Most kevlar is only good for about 5-7 years. Price drops considerably after 5 years.

SAPI plates are the money!! Those generally go fast.

Pictures will help in this catagory

Was surprised when talking to one of the officers in town he mentioned that his vest was not a stab vest. <dontknow>

i have a Eagle industries C.I.R.A.S. but haven't yet gotten the balcs armor for it, but was lucky when a friend gave me his saapi plates.

there's a market for good vests, especially hen they have the armor.

I tried to load pictures but couldn't. I have never had a problems loading pictures until now but it has a date of 12/05 and I don't see the big deal in it. When I was in the Corps we would get vest that was 3-4 years old. It looks new and never really worn to much. And the plates are in great shape also.

If it's actual issue gear, you would be breaking the law by receiving stolen property of the US government.

Explain to me how it is proven...LEO is open to buy the same stuff brand new from the same contractors and they are not required to do anything special when they have no use for it any longer. So who is to say thats not where it came from....an LEO that just didn't need it any longer? I obay the law just about to a T. I mean hell I still have all kinds of stuff from the Marine Corps opps I have stolen a canteen.
