History:

As the foundation of the ARMY's primary combat field ruck, the MOLLE Large, NSN # 8465-01-600-7844, PN #1606AC frame is setting new standards for comfort and durability. But, how was it improved? Comments from the field centered on several wish list items: more clearance at the shoulders for moving while prone or while handling weapons. Also, in some circumstances a slightly shorter frame would serve better, such as airborne operations and assault support. As always, a lighter frame that does not compromise payload or comfort would be a welcomed improvement as well.

The DEI #1606AC delivers these improvements, without compromise. The primary design advance is the re-curved load stabilizer bar that spans the wearer's shoulders. This bar cradles the load at the optimum balance point for lateral load stability while effectively distributing pressure over the shoulders and down to the hips. Because the stabilizer bar is located at the torsion node point created by the shoulders and hips twisting the frame in opposite directions while the wearer walks, the bar does not pitch the load side to side; the cradling ends of the bar only roll on the latitudinal axis.

The explanation here is rather complex; but, the concept is simple: if you twist the top of the frame one way, and the bottom of the frame the other way, at some point the two twisting actions cancel each other out.Stabilizer bar put at that point.

ITEMS WITH TITLE "EXCELLENT TO LIKE NEW CONDITION” ARE IN GREAT CONDITION HOWEVER DUE TO THE PROCESS OF STORAGE, TRANSPORTATION AND MINIMAL USE BY THE MILITARY THERE MAY BE THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS PRESENT ON THE ITEM:  DIRT AND SOIL STAINS WHICH CAN MOSTLY BE REMOVED WITH A GOOD WASHING. UNIT, PERSONNEL OR DRMO.  TAPE PRESENT (used to silence moving parts or to keep access straps out of the way) or TAPE RESIDUE WHEN TAPE REMOVED. MINIMAL SIGNS OF WEAR TO INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO AREAS OF ABRASION AND OTHER SIGNS OF WEAR.  THE ITEMS ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE THEY WERE DESIGNED FOR.  WE MAKE METICULOUS INSPECTIONS TO ENSURE THE ITEMS SOLD IN THIS CONDITION ARE IN GREAT CONDITION; HOWEVER THERE MIGHT BE AREAS THAT ARE OVERLOOKED AND ARE CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR FOR MILITARY SURPLUS ITEMS.

GOOD:  This condition varies widely depending upon the specific item and is generally your best bargain for the price. Generally speaking “GOOD” means the item will be faded and will show more signs of previous use and, in some cases, need minor repair. For example: Alice packs, LBV’s, duffle bags, laundry bags and wet weather bags may have small holes, small tears, loose stitching or defective or missing snaps. However, these items are still serviceable and will not affect the intended use of the item. In most cases our GOOD condition simply means a lesser grade of VERY GOOD and may have been repaired or show signs of fading or minor defects but, again, will NOT affect the intended use of the item. Another example would be our Goretex jackets, rain gear and M-65 field jackets and other similar textiles, whereby although they will not have any holes, rips or tears, they may have been repaired and the majority will have fading. We do test all zippers (ZIPPERS ARE CONSIDERED PART OF THE FUNCTIONAL CONDITION OF A GARMENT AND ARE TESTED AND IN GOOD WORKING ORDER, UNLESS NOTED IN A SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION), however, all snaps and other closures (Except Zippers) may or may not work but will not affect the intended use of the item. May or may not have soldier’s name on the label or item. May or may not have “DRMO” stamp on the label or item. Please Note: This Government stamp does not mean the merchandise is defective. This stamp is used strictly to keep track of Government inventory.  Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the item you order will or will not have a soldier’s name or DRMO stamp on the label or item unless otherwise stated in the specific auction.

FAIR OR ACCEPTABLE:  This condition is the least desirable condition and can vary widely depending upon the specific item.  Generally speaking, “FAIR” means the item is serviceable, but in need of laundering, repair or general TLC. Definite previous use or damage in storage, whether staining, soiling or holes in any or all combination of above circumstances, but considered repairable and serviceable. May or may not have soldier’s name on the label or item. May or may not have “DRMO” stamp on the label or item. Please Note: This Government stamp does not mean the merchandise is defective. This stamp is used strictly to keep track of Government inventory.  Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the item you order will or will not have a soldier’s name or DRMO stamp on the label or item unless otherwise stated in the specific auction.

NOTE: NO MATTER WHAT CONDITION IS STATED ON THE ITEM THESE ARE MILITARY SURPLUS ITEMS! EXPECT TO FIND SMALL IMPERFECTIONS.  MOST NEW ITEMS ARE THROWN IN A BOX WITH OTHER ITEMS, NEW DOES NOT MEAN THE ITEM WILL ALWAYS COME IN ITS ORIGINAL BOX, BAG OR OTHER CONTAINER AS THE MILITARY USUALLY DOES NOT SAVE THESE.  WE TAKE PRIDE IN DESCRIBING THE ITEMS TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY AND KNOWLEDGE.  WE ARE ALWAYS FAIR WITH CUSTOMERS WHO ARE NOT SATISFIED AS APPARENT IN OUR FEEDBACK.  AGAIN PLEASE BE AWARE THIS IS GENUINE MILITARY SURPLUS.
