PROPER USMC pack ??????

Does anyone know where to find parts for these ? I'm in need of the front shoulder strap adjusters.

I would PM SmileDocHill. We recently did a huge group buy on the ILBE packs, assuming that's the pack you are posting about. Some of them were pretty rough so he might have some parts.

Are you talking about these little things that allow you to attach one piece of webbing perpendicular to another and adjust the spot in which it is attached? Yeah, I got'em.
PM me your address and I'll mail a set to you if that is what you are needing. I don't have much in the way of buckles but you can get them pretty easily.





These shoulder straps are salvaged off of some unrepairable assault packs but the attachment hardware that I think you need is the same as the ones used to hold the shoulder straps from separating on the main pack also.

To do it right you are cutting the thread that tacks down the webbing, threading the hardware on, and then re-sewing (tacking down) the webbing. That webbing is KILLER to try to sew through. I have an awl and it is still tough.
