A very nice series.
Enjoy your rig /k/omrade. It served me well in Dawson Forest.
What D3CR should I get for going over flecktarn? Thinking just ranger green.
>>30424637
Yeah, just green
>>30424637
Also can someone post the youtube reviews of the russian copies, someone mentioned them but I still can't find any.

Any of you gearfags ever taken your gear hog hunting?
>>30424485
Let me tell you something about Lenny Magill. He taught me how to love a woman, and how to scold a child.
>>30424794
Would, but I live in one of the few places that doesn't actually have fucking hogs.
Should be grateful but they look fun to shoot.

These are all on sale. Most are 50% off. I bought the "beat up" plate carrier in ranger green. Did I do good?
>>30424914
Nice seabag plate carrier.
Wilcox still hasn't sent me my L2G05 back...
They were nice enough to replace it for free, I can't complain.
That anon with the siege r, can you tell me how adjustable the plate pocket is? For example, will the m-size fit plates are are about 1 cm taller and wider?

>Question: Is mixing camo blasphemy?
Not inherently. It's fine if your patterns are kind of all meant for a similar region.
>multicam rifle
>gray ears, gloves
>forest green shemagh
>coyote chest rig, rucksack
>marpat boonie, maybe pants?
You're going to hell.
>>30425429
What you have in that picture looks fine. The rifle is kind of odd but whatever. I wouldn't paint my rifle any camo pattern I wasn't planning on wearing.
I don't think forest marpat pants would look good though.
>>30425429
Meh, who cares.
>>30425429
Who cares. Step one is comfy, quality gear. Step two is wear anything that doesn't scream "hey, guy, look at me. I draw attention"
I had a SSG tell me I was going to get shot first because I'm the guy who makes all the jokes and I'll get noticed first.
If you're reading this, you know who you are. Fuck you, SSG.
>>30424485
Post pictures of his wife Tammy!
Officer is wearing a D3CR. Wish more of it was in the shot.
>>30425383
I'm not that anon, but I own a medium "The Sloucher" armor carrier by First Spear ( similar carrier) and can tell you that my carrier has elastic on the sides of the plate bags to accommodate different size plates ( commercial 10 x12s/ military M SAPIs) . I'm almost positive that the Seige R features this as well. I can almost guarantee that Medium SAPIs will fit within a Medium sized FS carrier as my 10 x12s fit snugly, which are a bit wider than Medium SAPI plates. These carriers are marketed towards the military as well, so it really shouldn't be an issue.
>>30425309
what happened to that mount?
>>30424794
Would like to but they don't come this far north. Would also like to give spear hunting a try.

>>30425505
Thanks guys, I think I'll stick with jeans for now then, if I decide to get camo pants I'll go with multicam for aesthetic and maybe get a duller shemagh to match the boonie.
It's tricky because blue jeans is obviously non-nonchalant and won't attract negative attention, but do camouflage right and you won't attract any.
>>30425552
The problem is that my plates are not sapi-cut at all, i'm running 314х265mm russian plates.
>>30425563
I left it on a table with PVS-15s and some dude knocked it off the table and it landed on the 15s.
They were fine but the mount was bent hehe
>>30425383
Ah, I think I misread the question. If the plates are 1cm larger in both dimensions, then they are most likely 10 x 12s which should fit as I have the same size in my carrier.
>>30425429
what
>>30425465
said, in general. People can pull it off. You are not pulling it off. Mostly because of the coyote and multicam trying to mix with green. gross.
>>30425584
Hmmm, unfortunately they probably won't fit a medium carrier then. 10 inches /25.4 cm is basically the outer limit for the medium size carrier plate width. I don't know if a size up would work.
Anyone know of any active haley strategic coupons?
I'm re-doing the old gear queer pic I did a long time ago, post pics you want to be in the new one.
>>30425730
Fuck it, i'll just buy it now.
Or should I wait another week? They had a 4th of july sale in 2014 but not last year. Would probably save like $30 if they did and stayed in stock.

I haven't tried any but google says CC79C55C will get you 15% off first purchase. 6E8DF7D1 is aparently 20% off a $200 purchase and 8B8E0D7E is 15& off $100.
Again, never tried any of them, just what google pulls up.
>>30426030
Aren't we already?
>>30426085
Yeah I tried that, fake site.
I bought the D3CR anyways. Time to regret that in a week. Guess it's only $30 but that could fill all the magazines i'm carrying in the damned thing.
>>30426127
Shit, I'm sorry anon. Who the fuck puts out fake coupons on the net anyways? Like, they aren't getting any advertising revenue or kickbacks from purchases, so why take the effort to dash people's hopes?
>>30426199
>make fake coupons automatically
>get traffic from people googling "*obscure retailer* coupons"
>make sidebar ad revenue from people not using adblock
>host real coupons for other sites as well
Probably the case.
Maybe if there is a sale i'll buy a flatpack or something. I'd like to get one of those incog holsters that come with the XC1 once I buy a glock 19 too.
>>30426104
We really aren't. Not all generals are built alike. Not saying we're better, because we're gear queers. On subject matter alone we're only a step above milsurp fags. So let's not copy their stupid ass OP picture

Don't worry, I like the look of it too.
Though in practice I'd say the M83 battlejacket looks better on mannequins than it does on real people.

Naw.

>>30426955
Max's costume was tailored to look cool, if you just throw one on the battlejacket is pretty awkward looking usually. The magazine pouches might be a bit tilted and there's this big awkward blank space in your chest, plus the big stupid black velcro patches. Max doesn't have the velcro and wears it without it buckled in front.
>>30427076
Not him
I liked the open space in the chest it allowed my to access my smock pockets.
Thinking about getting a d3 in ranger green and the hanger/two extra mag pouches that velcro to the back. Anyone have experience with that setup?
>>30428657
two might be a little tight, I just run one behind the D3 and one off to the left of the rig on the cummerbund

>>30424794
Aesthetic as fuck.
>>30429992
>Not him. MultiCam really would work a lot better for your area.
it really wouldn't. The parka was just because i like the meme camo. Woodland legitimately works better up there then multicam.
i was wearing the hood because it was 100 degrees and i didn't bring a hat up to the range from camp.
>>30430005
The m81 is the worst part. Super saturated.

>>30430030
M81 isn't horrible. It is objectively worse than other patterns, but more importantly you are in a transitional, low veg forest with desert brush. If you think that M81 is better than MultiCam for that region, you are lying to yourself. Have fun with that.

Very common to mix woodland type camo tops with desert type camo bottoms, to fit terrain with trees and sand terrain.

>>30430203
Clothing is gear and the dude's wearing a chest rig. What do you want? Sone people would flip over the OR gloves alone.
>>30427076
I think it's a good platform for modding to your needs. Like I tuck my pouch flaps, and may remove them, but I also kept the sectional backing and put a source 1 liter bladder in the top and a shooting sock in the bottom. I use one canteen pouch as a dump pouch (tied back the cover with its own straps) and the other I put my cassette deck in for shits'n'operational'gigs. It's just fun

Apologies for shitty picture

>>30431215
I go back to Athens in August but I come back pretty frequently so it's not a problem.
>>30431243
Nice mang, I know Crye has made the g3 combat pants in Nor-kamo, but they never made a combat shirt. Does Crye make combat shirts in Danish camo?
>>30431521
NFM, a Scandinavian gear company, makes the top in N-Kamo, they shop every once in awhile on Danish eBay since a lot of soldiers bought them...
Pretty much the story goes is that Equipnor, a Norwegian gear store, commissioned Crye to make like 500 something units of Crye N-Kamo pants... And had NFM make the top...
>>30431576
My bad, Norwegian* eBay...
>>30431576
Yeah I know, have both. Only thing I dislike with NFM's combat shirt, is that it's very tight, compared to Crye's loose fit.
But of course its preference, both are very similar in terms of function, crye may have some extra details, but NFM's shirt is like half the price.

You going to show us what it looks like worn?
Good first plate carrier since my issued IBA?
I have an SKD universal chest rig right now that I've been using, and will be able to wear over the PC til I get more pouches set up for it.
Other options at a similar price point?

Hold up, I recognize that jacket!
It's a pretty god-tier jacket, with pockets this big who needs pouches?
>>30433216
What jacket is that?
>>30425946
Yo what's that jacket? im still looking for a jacket that does looks decent and doesn't stick out that much
>>30433058
No. The systema stuff kinda sucks. Also, save your money get the slick rear. There's nothing you need to mount to your back.
I wore the pig brig as a slick under a chest rig, and in that situation it was pretty good.
>>30432997
I don't really take it out innawoods much and I think pictures fully dressed in the house look lame. Next time I go shooting innawoods I'll grab it though.
Super old picture of me in my AK setup.
>>30433551
Hydration carrier on the back of the PC? Fuck having a million different pairs of shoulder straps going on.
So if the brig isn't the right choice, what is? Ferro slickster? AT armor contingency carrier?
>>30430248
>cassette deck
Boss?
>>30433590
I only usually play the Clash and the Doors, but basically yes- Boss is an inspiration to us all.
>>30433581
>he wants to direct attach his hydration carrier
so you're just going to take the PC off every time you run out of water? Even with a 3L bladder, I've got to fill it up at least once in a day of training.
wear it like a pack. and if you've got a real pack, put the bladder in the pack or attach it to the pack.
>>30433730
You can see those ex-SADF mercenaries wearing the M83 in game and I think it's also the first default chest equipment in MP.
>fake guns
>real gear
>>30433581
and let me clarify, the pig brig isn't a bad slick. but trying to make a "real" pc with all the systema attachments is expensive and the pieces are kinda shit.
but the ferro concepts with the cummerbund pockets looks sexy.
>>30433299
I've never been able to figure out the name, I bought it in a milsurp store while I was visiting family in Třebíč.
Only tag on it is this one on the liner, and the store advertised it as a "sniper jacket." That's all the info I can provide.
>>30433769
Yes.
I've done this before. It's far more annoying to me to have the straps of the PC and the straps of the chest rig and the straps of the hydration carrier, than it is to take my gear off and on.
>>30433790
I want a PC that I can rock slick, under my rig for now while I buy pouches to build up the PC to be able to stand alone. So it sounds like neither the brig nor the ferro are ideal for me.

Why is it that in every picture I see o here, the dude has black gear, but everyone I ever talk to hates all black gear?
>>30435015
Which images are you referring to? Not many people in this thread have black gear.
>>30435015

Same with cop fags
>>30434633
I left it in my rucksack when we went up to the shooting range that day. I have a ball cap and a boonie
>>30433769
Hey now, Blue, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution.
Having a hydration carrier directly attached to the pack makes sense for people who aren't going to be getting much of an opportunity to refill the water throughout the day. For that reason, there is no pro by having the pack be seperate, and there is a con of having increased straps, bulk, and flop.
I, myself, personally wear a hydration pack that is not attached to armor, but I do that to allow modularity and because more often than not I have a true rucksack on. But I know plenty of people who just MOLLE on hydration.

Thanks, /k/unt. Looking forward to testing it out tomorrow.
What's the consensus on the Direct Action Ghost pack?
Looking for something gray man~ish, but this has all the features I want. Will be removing the external pack to leave in the car and using the main one only, in gray.
I've been using a really old Jansport for years for everything I need to do, even hiking, but I want to upgrade. I do a lot of walking and sometimes running along, so a pack like that seems to fit me well unless anyone else has any suggestions. Was considering the Condor Elite Fail Safe pack but then remembered its' Condor. Vertx packs don't seem as appealing either. This is something I plan on keeping for a long time.
pic related of the brown one
>>30437211
I'm now interested in this too. Also, what Jansport do you use?
>>30433412
Arcteryx Drac Jacket.
honestly if you dont wear patches on it it looks pretty normal.
>>30434689
well I just route mine under my helmet, you can get ARC rail adapters.
Whats a good holster for a glock 19 and sf xc1? Looking for an oc holster
>>30437211
There's really nothing "grey man" about that, it's a pack that is pretty conspicuous.
>>30438961
>oc
Well, I was about to suggest the HSP Incog Shadow Eclipse designed specifically for the G19/XC1. They sell them in a package that saves some money, but it's a CC holster.
>>30439002
Yea i was looking at that too, might grab it for a cc setup. But for tearqueering i figured if i was all suited up I'd probably be ocing.
>>30438982
dunno man, I've seen plenty of normie packs now a days with MOLLE all over them.

C'mon man, that pack is conspicuous as fuck. The irony is you could get a pack that's straight up camo colors that's less conspicuous than that.

>>30443243
He just looks like a more wrinkled version of the Op. There are plenty of people who have aged worse than that.
>>30439736
I mean a goruck looks pretty civilian, i threw a 3x5" full color flag patch on it and regularly get compliments on it. But a bag like that is pushing it in my opinion.
>>30437211
I actually have the grey DA Ghost. I use it for edc, it can hold a lot of stuff. The removable waist strap with molle and suspenders kind of sucks. I wish they would have made a sling for the outer bag. The support for the padding is stiff and works well. The expanding side pockets are useful. It looks tacticool but no one has ever said anything. I would give you pics but my phone camera makes them huge. :\
Better to operate in plain clothes or camo'd up?
>>30443699
Ok this should work
>>30443752
The whole point of plain clothes operating is you're either trying to go undetect or you didn't have enough time to put on your tacticool shit and just threw on your carrier.
If you have a visible carrier and rifle it defeats the first purpose.

I'm going to ask around for pictures from friends of their old chicom rigs that they modified pretty heavily for recon use before it was even a thing on /k/, so may deliver some secondhand OC from them.

*erection intensifies*
I have a love for modded kits.
>>30444294
Thatd be cool. Always appreciate diy stuff.
>>30444294
can't wait.
I've been planning on buying a few Chicoms to cannibalize for material to mod a type 56.
I would like to see what other people did with their rigs for ideas. All I saw of modded Chicoms that looked decent is pic-related.
>>30444602
That's so blurry, I can't honestly tell what's modified.
As for ideas, the easiest step is to put a buckle on the backstrap. Requires no special skills to do.
Some people sew the bottom of the pouches up a bit so that AR magazines sit a bit higher. Some people use small block spacers. I personally just put pull tabs and call it a day.
The things people I know did include replacing the wood tabs with velcro, or by adding bungie straps to the top. The also put elastic across the front of each mag pouch horizontally; when the rig is loaded with 6 STANAGs, having that velcro keeps the remaining magazine in a pouch from flopping around when the other mag is pulled out.
They had a large sewing machine, and removed the grenade pouches on the sides. They used the machine to add MOLLE strips.
I haven't seen it done, but adding a hydration or small sustainment pack to the back of a Chicom might be within the wheelhouse of somebody with a sewing machine.
Usually anybody using them would give them a good coat of spraypaint to make them match whatever the terrain was.
Many of these modifications were ugly as fuck. These are not professional tailors doing them, so the looks would offend some GQ sensibilities, but they worked well enough.
>nice airsoft gear kid
>hey kid
>look at this kid
>kid
>>30444719
you lost or something pal?
>>30444717
Some people will also replace those green buckles or whatever they're called with D-rings and add a couple of buckles on the front to make the rig easier to adjust.
The great thing about chicom rigs is that they're $12 and they already don't look particularly pretty out the box.
>>30444719
why don't you fight me fag
>>30444768
Yeah, I've seen that online just never in person. That rig looks much more aesthetic than anything I've seen in person. The stitching on the front straps for example is very well done with some finesse. The DIY mods I've seen were ugly but stronk.
>>30444717
>That's so blurry, I can't honestly tell what's modified.
See that rather large GP pouch under his left arm. it ain't a grenade pouch.
I was thinking along the lines of buckles as you said.
Grommet for the mag cells
adding a map pouch on the inside of the chest rig with a velcro or flap closure.
Pen holders on the inside of the rig.
And a small stowaway pocket on the inside of the rig for a waterproof notebook.
How retarded am I?
>>30444844
Would also add some elastic or something on the bottom to hold a TQ, like on the Mayflower chest rigs. That would be a pretty capable setup.
>>30444844
>Map pouch
>Pens
>Notebook
Thinking like somebody who is going to the field. Not a lot of GQ rigs add that stuff. If you have the sewing skills, I don't see the problem.
I keep the notebook on a belt or pocket, but nothing at all with a hideaway inside of the chest rig.
I'd say not to forget a sharpie with your pens, but that's super nitpicky.
You may find the grommet to be overkill. It's certainly an improvement over the wood tabs, but honestly if you use the mag pouches open topped with the flap tucked in, the rifle mags are still very secure.
>>30444909
I think by grommet he means drainage. Not like a retention snap or something. Would be cool to add bungees or kydex inserts or velcro on the flap or something.
>>30444879
Yeah, I thought I could run some shock cord through the grommets if I needed anything like that.
>>30444909
>I keep the notebook on a belt or pocket, but nothing at all with a hideaway inside of the chest rig.
Same but sometimes pocket space is taken up.
& extra Pockets are always nice to have.
>I'd say not to forget a sharpie with your pens, but that's super nitpicky.
I include sharpies in mind when I'm talking about "pens"
>>30444944
He's got it.
Is there a tutorial or something online on how to set up a rig? Like what goes where?
>>30445033
Just do what feels most comfortable and effective for you
>>30445033
Plenty.
And they all say different shit. The first thing before you set up a rig is: What are you going to do with it? Next question is, in order to do what you want, what do you need to have on your person to accomplish this?
>>30445057
that's not advice anon. trial and error costs time and money
>>30445033
This is pretty situational.
>>30445033
Just go out in your kit
you will go "oh shit I forgot X." next time put X in your kit sort by priority on what goes in your ruck and what goes in your rig.
Build from experience
>>30445000
I wonder how hard it would be to convert a chicom into a split front rig.
>>30445949
cut it in half sew buckles between the two halves
but why though?
>>30446111
Cause split front is nice for fast don/doff. Also cause laying on your stuff gets uncomfortable and fucks with NPOA.
That an Arktis rig? I've always been curious about them but I'm skeptical about the longevity of that kind of elastic pouch.
>>30446171
Makes sense.
Yep, it's Artkis part of their covert line; I would be skeptical on the elastic as well.
>>30446237
I bet you could get a lot of the same functionality by making a similar rig with slanted molle and then attaching BFG ten speed pouches. Then when they wear out you just send the pouches back for warranty and put new ones on.
>>30446276
Meh, it's meant to be worn under a jacket for security work.
The slimmer the design the better.
>>30443243

There are boatloads of tailors who do custom work.
762tactical sells a moderized chicom like that pic also they do custom work on requests
Kennedy nylon takes requests pic related
>>30448057
Coyote tactical did this one.
extremegearlabs do custom work.
>>30448117
Does EGL have a minimum number of pieces to do a custom? Or will they make literally one rig?
>>30448151
I believe they will make you one rig, but I haven't done business with them before.
Heres what I got so far. I plan on adding a second double decker on the mag side, filling the pouch on the other side with medical gear, then getting a ruck.
After the ruck think I will go
1.Battle belt
2.Radio
3. Plates
4.Misc gear (multitool, knife, patches, ect)
Is that good? Or do you guys have better suggestions? I am new to gear, so if you guys with more xp have suggesyions I'm all ears.
>>30448222
Why not plates before radio? Do you have any specific use in mind for the radio?
>>30448256
A few of my buddies are moving towards getting gear. If we are going to do drills and practice moving together, I'd like to have the radio first.
I expressed an interest in medical care so I ended up being the one nominated to be the medic (Suits me, already starting to learn about field care).
>>30448358
-which is why I have a whole side dedicated to medical equipment. Small bleeder if I get hit, big pouch for extra dressing, tape, medications, ect.
>>30448377
pro tip, dont keep budy aid gear attacked to you. a sling bag that you can place in front of you while working on a cas is best.
Anybody else get some nasty rubbing where they broke their collarbone when they wear a plate carrier?
Anyway to help prevent this besides stuffing something between the PC and you?
>>30448492
moleskin. also make sure your pc is fited correctly. have someone help ajust it for minimal movement on you.
>>30443699
The belt is that bad?
>>30448541
Rog. Hadn't thought to put moleskin there. Appreciate it.
>>30448492
Nah my collarbone healed up nicely all 2-3 times.
Fuckers are a weak point on the human anatomy. And when it's cracked or broken it makes it hurt to move any part of your upper body, it's all connected and stretches the collarbone.
D3CR should be coming in tomorrow.
Hot shit.
What's a man to buy next? Is a flat pack worth having or is it kind of gimmicky? It hooking to the D3CR directly seems pretty cool, and I could put a hydration bladder in it.
>>30448413
But sling bags flop around like a motherfucker. Proper med pack is the best way in my opinion.
>>30448813
I saw someone talk about those leg bags a while ago, idk if those are any good or not.
All my mag pouches are doubles so I am gonna be looking at 10+1 for my primary and 2+1 for my secondary once i get that last pouch for my mag side. Listening to you guys, I am thinking about keeping my bleeder where it is and using the pouch underneath it for random bits.
For the ruck, I was going to look at something modular that can take a sustainment pack. That way I can have a ruck, then have a detachable smaller pack that can carry buddy aid.
Battle belt is where I was going to have my dump pouch and pouches for tools I may need such as flashlight, knife, multitool.
Sounds like a lot of weight, but I am used to carrying a lot of weight. Besides, our current plan if SHTF is to either
A. Bug in on my property. Or if the situation is really hitting it,
B. Take a car as far as it will go, then ruck it the rest of the way to my family ranch.

>>30430004
>>30430102
Thank you.
>>30448813
all preferance i guess. i had a assault pack on most times so a sling pack over that was my best option not ideal but then neither is humping 100 pounds of bullshit around.
>>30448921
advice again, keep shit off your legs. it gets very anoying very fast
>>30448773
Yeah mine has a big ole knot because the doctors didn't want me to have a sling and I was too much of a little retard to ask for one. Couldn't shoulder press for a couple years afterwards.

>thinking desert night camo works at night
It's objectively more useful during day time hours than its original purpose.
>>30450607
>thinking desert night camo works at all
...c'mon man.
>>30450624
It doesnt. It had one purpose which was to trick 70s Era soviet NV which had a grid similar to the camo pattern but was already obsolete before the camo was even in production.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Night_Camouflage
It does however work about as well as puma camouflage in vegetated areas.

why not?
I've been able to sell it off at a markup usually.
I've made more easy money in gear than the stock trade.
The only reason I bought ceramic plate was to due to the prospect of them being banned. thinking I could just sell them off in the grey market to my favour.
hydration systems I use
Guns I use
pack I use
Chicoms I use.
eyes,ears,hat I use.
if I ever go to a meetup I would probably use a PC.
>>30448579
If you have a small waist you might be able to use a little of the mills piece. I'm a 34 and it's almost unusable as a battle belt
>>30454898

just ordered a plain jane chest rig with a hydro harness from them
>>30454963
It's stil a good, comfortable, well made bag. Honestly the laser cut molle isn't a turn off for me in terms of being mall ninja. I stick pens, folder knives, all kind of shit in them. 8/10 recommend. If you get the grey though, it's pretty blue. Luckily I can leave mine in a van in FL with fuckhuge untinted windows all day so it's bleaching out.
What do I do with all the excess straps hanging off the D3CR?
yo m8s, how long does it take for kevlar to be rendered unusable by old age? does age even matter that much?
