Hello!
I agree with you Rex, it is just a question of time ....
I took a second look at the woodland camo carrier, and I would say that the purchase is fully justified even by itself.
Not only the fit with the M9 scabbard is perfect, but it allows the soldier to quickly disengage the lower part of the scabbard, while the Fastex is still attached to the carrier .... it seems to me that the Dutch Army designed it specifically for the M9 bayonet.
Since the Diemaco M9s were not so many and the Dutch Army adopted, later, a different bayonet, there probably shouldn't be too many of these carriers around.
