Hey everyone, after a two year break, I've finally started my German ISAF pzh 2000. My main question here is, does anyone know which MG ring I need to use for the German ISAF pzh 2000? I got the older meng kit, without the hedgehog armor. Meng just provided an option to use the full circular one and the semi circular one, without mentioning which ring is for the German version and which is the Dutch version. The reference photos didn't specify either. Thanks again for your help everyone

I guess the full ring should be OK....



Looks like the semi circular one is used with the add-on armor :

Thank you Henri Pierre, that makes sense to me.

You're welcome but I guess Christopher's reply in the other thread is much better

I think the ring has a section that folds out of the way so that the hatch can open. Meng gives you a closed and open variety. You should be safe using either one.
