Chest rigs for extra AR mags and IFAK

[oli700]

They sell a lot of them it's not uncommon to wait for a pattern . Usually it doesn't take them long . They will answer emails on it .....

Look on Ebay. No reason cant find multicam Eagle Industries, SKD, Blackhawk Indistries, Tactical Tailor Fight Light (MOLLE) LBX, Emerson Gear, or USGI (SDS/BAE/Allied Systems) chest rigs for your budget. Avoid anything that says ships from Hong Kong or China, those are unlicensed bad quality airsoft knock offs.

@ConcernedCitizen can you link those little carriers that you had on you the other day?

If anyone has the least conspicuous set up I have ever seen for a bug out or get home type thing it's concernedcitizen and his little 22lr rig.

the SKD PIG is awesome, you could always run a chest rig over a slick carrier

That's kinda the way I'm leaning now after doing some research

it gives you options

That's the ticket IMO, as it does give you options like staggering your purchases, finding a chest rig you like first. One thing to consider is double stacking 6-8+ rifle mags on top of a plate carrier gets thick and heavy fast, 2 or 3 mags single layer work for me on a PC but having separate rigs does give the option of dropping the armor while still keeping a heavy fighting load.

No Velcro for me: No catchable clutter, bungies snap-closures--hate clicky buckles etc…. nothing to hook on stuff!

Go walk run 10 miles - no bounce, no slop, lo chafe. I can crawl through the brush wearing one. Try that with most rigs.

I don't often suggest gear, but UW-Gear MINUTEMAN is close to perfection. My preference was the original 3 mag (ask UW). Fits AUG mags also — 42 rnd fits AK variant (tight).

I have a cover to slip over the clicky buckles.



With a micro IFAC just 1x 6" OLES and 2x Z-gauze and 2x CAT TK mount using Blue force Gear (prefer pouch style), but slightly more bulk and velcro.

PS: did I mention it keeps the mud and crap outa your mags (has stiched drain holes also) and 500 D version is lighter than my 1000D version (500D is my prferred weight).

I'm using military surplus 6-magazine bandoliers, and actually prefer them over a chest rig for quick grab-and-go type use. Just sling one over a shoulder like a murse, grab your rifle, and go! Not as good under heavy activity such as running or climbing, but much easier to don or doff in a hurry.

That is a perfect rig for going over a PC. Is the 3 mag no longer and option? I saw the bandoleer option but not a Minuteman option, bet they would with a contact as they are custom rig makers.

I'm on that Swamp Fox in .308.

That is very cool they give you both options, I tend to prefer 1000D.

Man I'm really digging this rig. This might be the one I choose!

 

[oli700]

It's a sweet set up

Damn that's a long lead time but for quality gear I'd be willing to wait. How's the warranty? Also is the 500D material standard or by request?

But at least they put that out front, some don't and customers are left wondering WTF. No nothing about it not too worried. It's a pulldown option.

I can probably do a custom rig for less time, but need time to acquire all materials

Thanks, I'm going to try and find these for pistol mags and 10/22 mags now lol.

They dont really exist, but I do have a satchel that should fit pistol mags and 10/22 banana mags, even though I use it for hi point mags I might be persuaded to get rid of the satchel..... for the right price.. or make a similar but smaller/simpler satchel. It fits 12 regular 10rd mags and 10 Redball adult toy shaped mags (6/5 per side). Retention is big velcro flap and elastic loops inside.
