Where can a guy pick up a vest with pockets big enough for the SG1? Everything that I find is for the mp5.

good luck. if you find a vest that fits M-14 magazines, it will work just fine. i have a vest specifically fitted for G3 20 round magazines that i had specially made...very nice quality, too.

Where did you get it made? How much?

well, there aren't many quality vests made for weapons chambered in 7.62 NATO because it's a round that has been slowly phased out of main battle rifles. since 5.56 NATO came out, a soldier could carry 2x as much ammunition, and still engage targets at 80% of the engagement distance with similar accuracy.
Honestly, whens the last time you saw a US SWAT team or such use a 7.62 assault rifle? (snipers not included)
but my vest cost me about 160 dollars plus shipping to have made. the quality is really top notch, and in my opinion, easily puts anything made by Eagle or Blackhawk to shame. PM me if you're interested, and i'll send you a link to the place. it took me about 2 weeks from my order to it arriving for it to be done...i guess the guy runs a small operation only...but he does hand-make each vest.

Look around for a RACK replica or something that uses MOLLE pouches. According to TOM, who just bought a G3/SG1 from me, G3 mags fit perfectly in it.

Yep, at least one G3 mag would fit in each magazine pouch Newmans replica RACK (I only had one, to try and play with  ) But, they do fit quite nicely, and can maybe even squeeze two in each pouch  . (I'll try as soon as my high cap gets in (or have a borrowed G3 mag on hand) |
