Geardo's Needed

[Ghast]

I need help selecting a low profile vest that holds G3 mags and will match Multicam. Something like a MAV or similar to a MAV. I can deal will it holding 2 M4 mags in each pouch since that'll be big enough for G3 mags but anything smaller will be too small. I only have 5 TM standards but if you can find a 6 pouch vest, that'd be great since I have a pistol as well that I can put in that extra pouch. Any suggesttions would be extremely helpful since I really have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to gear.

Wasatch is my suggestion. Got mine the other day and I love it. Far less bulky and constricting compared to my RAV. It'll fit G3 mags np.

That sounds like its exactly what you want, however if you want something even lighter, I would check this out.

Knife has one and its an excellent piece of kit, I wore it for awhile at BD2 and it sat very nicely on my chest. Its also light, and somewhat modular.

If price is no object, the guys over at ATS make a .308 rig.

In similar fashion, the guys over at Lighfighter have nothing but good words for the ESSTac Boar series. Its incredibly low profile and the magazine panel can be switched out for a 7.62 panel, it can also be fitted with a padded harness.

As for a color match with Multicam, I would reccomend Coyote Brown, Ive heard some of the camos you Hellfish guys are using, and it would match perfectly with all of them. Especially the Temperate MARPAT.

Next game we're both at, you can check out my Eagle UCR if you'd like. I'm not sure how well it would fit 7.62 mags though.

A TT MAV + TT 7.62 pouches would work out pretty well.


GBiscuit covered it pretty well though, anything in Coyote Brown, Coyote Tan, Tan or Multicam will work great.

Cadillac style would be a SOTech Tomcat. It's expensive but the integrated pouches make it a plausible value, and the quality is excellent.

Hey G, does that first link's rig come in MC, cuz that's a pretty sweet price-point for me. Ive got $160 and 60 went to the MC so I've got $100 to play with. But because that also includes spending money I'd like to keep it below $80, and that's real hard when it comes to gear, which is why I'm here.

Edit: That ESSTAC one is awesome but a hair expensive and by expensive I mean, I might get that one.

That is a negative my man, It was designed for LE types, so it only comes in Black, RG and Khaki.

However, if you choose an ESS Tac Boar rig instead, you also are going to have to buy the replacement .308 mag panel, which starts at $70. Remember though, that the ATS .308 rig comes in MC, and its completely modular...

Here's something a 'Lil different for ya as well, an HSGI DACH.

I have a similar rig, an HSGI Warlord V3. I would suggest the latter, but your a small guy and the Warlord series of rigs are relatively large for the "weedy men" among us.

Here is a link comparing the two, the DACH is the outlined portion, while the Warlord V3 is the whole thing.

The HSGI mag pouches are designed to hold 3 M4 mags like this. One mag is in its own separate are of the pouch that sits above the rest of the mags, doubtful you would be able to fit a .308 mag in there, but it also may become a nuisance trying to pull .308 mags out of the pouches with that separate piece of nylon in the pouch.

The pouches can also be cinched down, so I'm assuming it could hold a Mac 11 or another sidearm if you tactically stuff socks down into the pouches, Its also a good idea to do this if your using naturally short .308 mags. If you REALLY get into geardoism, I'm sure a Safariland 6004 shell could fit down into them without any trouble...

Another feasible rig looks to be this one: www.veltye.com/inc/sdetail/2338

Its stated on their site that "ADJUSTABLE DIVIDERS ALLOW FOR FIVE SINGLE OR EIGHT DOUBLE MAGS AND RADIO" which could mean that this could fit a sidearm and .308 mags no problem.

The only problem is that it doesn't come in MC, however, if by "Coyote" they mean Coyote Brown, then it will work with everything you Hellfish are going to use as cammies.

Vel Tye is also a small company that does little custom jobbies for NSW and some Navy RivRON guys, sooooo, it would be feasible to believe they could make that rig in MC.

And lastly, if you want a no frills rig this might be the ticket, can hold 4 .308 mags and two pistol mags.

The HSGI mag pouches will carry 2 .308 mags.

I'm prettymuch sold on this most because it comes in Coyote Tan and is 58 bucks however I need to wait a few days for a pending fund on my credit card to get canceled. If that pending fund allows for it, I might end up getting the EI SKD Chest Rig. Thank you all for your help and a nice +1 for G.
