ABLE COMPANY
5th RANGER INFANTRY
BATTALION
Quartermaster Links
The purpose of Approved
Vendors and Links page is to point a beginning member (or a member who
needs to replace an old, used piece of gear with something new and
different) in the direction of an affordable, but quality piece of
equipment or uniform. Every recommended item has been tested, used, and
approved by our membership. We hope this helps you in assembling the
finest Ranger kit that you can.
*Please note, the order in which vendors are listed under each item
has nothing to do with rating the reproduction items amongst
producers. Each item, from each vendor, is approved and it is up to the
Ranger to discern which vendor's goods they prefer.
