New Chest Rig!

So last Thursday I took a trip down to my local gun shop to chat with the owner and shop for some tannerite and .223 ammo to get ready for a range trip on the following Monday. No luck on the Tannerite but I scored 100 rounds of .223 for the AR to munch on. I noticed the owner had a bit more tactical gear than normal. Some guys were unloading their equipment to pursue other intrests.

I'v been shopping for some new gear for a few months now but I was hesitant to pay the $110 to $250 dollars the custom rigs I wanted commanded. In the surplus of items at the shop was a simple chest rig with a pair of mag pouches made to hold six AR or AK magazines each. I figured the rig would run about $100 - $150 at least.

What a shock when the owner said "$40.00 my man." It was a done deal. I got a Spectre MOLLE chest rig and x2 Blackhawk 6 rifle magazine pouches for $40.00 USD!

So I took it home, did some customization and got this:


To the right side of the rig I placed my MOLLE Trauma Kit, center is the Blackhawk 6 magazine pouch, and the left side of the rig holds a dump pouch.

I specificaly set the rig up for use with my AK but it can easily be converted for use with the AR15 as well; just swap out the magazines and your Good-to-Go.
