You'll have to buy yourself some greenies fill em with sand and chuck em in the Crusader for 'old times' sake....
Or get one of these http://www.deactivated-guns.co.uk/detail/L1A1.htm

very nice finds indeed gordy
i also picked up a lovely safariland holster a month or so ago off a mate for the princely sum of £1! i've also won last night on ebay this Berghaus Centurion
as soon as it comes i'll be attacking those paint marks with some white spirit, hopefully they will come off. if not then i'll claim it was previously owned by a member of the Royal Marines Mountain Arctic Warfare Cadre lol
pics will follow sharpish twodogs.
I went to the gun show in Richmond today and had a look about. There were a good handful of surplus dealers hawking there wares. One dealer had a few packs of note...Swedish LK35 for $15, a Norwegian canvas framed rucksack with grey leather strapping for $15, a French Army internal frame ruck that had bold black zippers and black shoulder straps and hip belt for $25 and a large woodland camo MOLLE II rucksack with "plastic" frame for $29. Some of the dealers had some ALICE packs in wodland camo and a few MOLLE II patrol packs. I was lucky and found this from a vendor I use for lots of small surplus stuff. He hooked me up with a medium ALICE that was almost in a "never issued" condition for $20. I did not purchase an LC-1 frame, as that is the bit that makes "water boarding" seem like "fun in the park" compared to the torture / pain of an ALICE frame. Here is my lucky purchase...
This is the underside of the lid. Notice the great condition of the rubber coating.
The shoulder straps. Note these are the correct ones for the LC-2 medium.
The medium ruck and another vendor had the M12 universal holster which I got for $20. It fits my Smith & Wesson M&P pistols.
I am well pleased with my two purchases.

I saw a bloke by the bus stop for the end of the Pembs costal path yesterday - he had a canvas Crusader and although we chatted for a while and he was very nice he would not sell it to me as he had nothing else to carry his gear in....
He got it in a surplus shop a few years ago it seems.....
There must be more out there!
Time for a up to date pack from Berghaus the new Crusader 90/20,
