Good lid there Sean. I don't much about these helmets!! Everybody now days seem to wear rimless helmets if that is the right term!!. I have helmet which we called Gentex "rimless" somewhere! no cover I just sprayed it like you do!!. I should try to dig it out at somepoint??. Cheers Terry.

Hi Sean, fantastic addition to your composite collection buddy. When I first saw one these models I was very impressed by the nape strap /liner modifications over the original Pasgt. Having not seen one in the flesh as it were ,are there any significant differences in the shape of the shell the side sections look slightly different to my eyes, and is the brim shorter than than the original.
I find it ironic that the USMC was using the old M1 well into the 80's whilst the Army had the Pasgt as standard at the time, only for the Marine's to out do the Army with this beauty!!
I can relate to your desire to replace the Marpat cover with an EGA original too,all said and done the more I look the more I like ,congrats on sourcing it my friend
