ACH Helmet Modernizing

[RealCujo]

God I feel old. We used baklavas with the standard webbing. The snaps were always a issue and NVGs were 2nd gen headache inducing green soup garbage.

You should check out those one-piece helmet pads for CVCs, that's what I've used since 2019 with no problems. They're black and the inside material visible from the top almost looks like bubble wrap.

For the rails I REALLY recommend going for only well vetted American companies. Most of the cheap foreign ones dont fit a majority of attachments and if they do they break very easily.

[johnsarangel]

it’s good to modernize the ACH helmet. but for basic safety, and for a typical civilian who will use the helmet just for protection, it is good to retain the ear cover for additional protection…

[Nperez]

You can also do this to the ECH helmet for a higher NIJ rated protection :)

[bobsagetbillboard]

If you can find an Eagle industries helmet cover they are excellent accessories for the ACH. In terms of night vision mounts I like the Norotos TATM mount with the 1 or 3 hole shrouds and the Wilcox L3 G10.

[Nperez]

It has been hard finding these for $100...if you are lucky. If anyone is trying to find any I do have access to military surplus in a number of locations for the ACHs

[louiesouthgate]

The ACH is great but something bothers me with arc rails generally in my own opinion they make the helmet stick out a bit more in a combat setting, back when I was deployed we use these surefire lights that attach to the side of the helmet sometimes they suck but low profile.

Can't wait for part 2! Great stuff

[acespades]

I want to do this but concerned about drilling the holes for the nvg shroud. How can i be sure i get it all in the right spot?

[scruffy]

This will also work for PASGT helmets i believe, at least the liner and strap system

[jk_actual]

You reckon the liner and harness upgrade would work on a PASGT/M88?

[ReviveHF]

These old school helmets are perfect for high intensity combat situations such as trench warfare. In large scale war breaks out between the nations, M1 Steel Helmet, ACH and ECH works better than high cut designs like FAST.

Have 7 helmet shells to build/mod and test actual shrapnel resistance :-)

[stefanbecker]

Do you think the ACH shell is similar to the Russian 6B47? I wanna modernize one I have, because I‘ve seen Russians (majority spetsnaz) modernize their 6b47s with Team Wendy or Ops Core straps and they sometimes add rails to them

Zytel… Glass filled Nylon #6(or #12) .. That’s pretty much The Standard for doodads…

[WorldlySurvivor]

Would this equipment be the same for the PSAGT helmet thaks

[aesthetic]

How can I paint my helmet like the grainy/sandy ops core coating? :(
Please help. I find nothing about it...
I need this grainy texture paint on my helmet

[pctbhglHandlesRDumb]

I'm curious what would people mount on the sides? An IR spot light or camera or somthing else? and then you need to offset the weight.

[mikesimms]

Guess everyone is on this shit now cause they want fuckin 300 for a surplus ACH it's ridiculous. May as well just buy a new Armor Source or go up to a Wendy or Opscore.
