Sounds like as big a rip off as the obsolete Overwhite Ghillie Suit Kit that cost units $1,000.00 for about fifty dollars worth of obsolete uniforms and a sewing kit.
Someone took the unused overwhites, threw them into a Aviators Kit Bag added five bucks worth of burlap, a tube of rubber cement, and a five dollar sewing kit and charged units $1,000.00 for all of this unused and obsolete stuff. BTW -- that ten dollar kit bag was the only item that was accountable. Total cost for all of this gear was mabye fifty dollars.
I would bet that all of the gear in this present kit is also totally obsolete and or things that no sane person would buy.
That polarizing filter screws on to the objective lens of an M-3 but the question is this. What light conditions is it made for? And also -- will it change zero?
Who is about to hold up a wind meter when being shot at in order to dope the winds like someone on the firing line at Perry? Said wind meter is probably uni-directional and not omni directional which means its value just dropped by 50%again.
The ammo carrier costs at most five dollars and is totally useless although it may look cool.
All of that crap that is sold through GSA is nothing but crap that was proven to be of no value many years ago but things that some contractor bought surplus and re-entered it into the system under another name.
The less crap someone has to deal with, the better will be their performance -- INHO.
