Tropentarn is a little light for my area so I liked the M04 since it was a bit greener. BTW Source Tactical still has their hydration bladders on cheap clearance in Flektarn or Tropentarn. I always do want a good camo that's not "military". Until 2002 or so that WAS Multicam. It's nice to have all the military-aimed gear around in Multicam, but I do miss the exclusivity a little. I have a bunch of Rhodie stuff but it's gotten too high profile lately too. So these days I'm trying to find stuff in PennCott Badlands or increasingly DevilDog pattern.

I feel like an idiot here, but Ive never done much with plate carriers before. I have a SKD PIG carrier and I put some Esstac midlength AR pouches on the front. The PIG is split down the front middle, with each half front flap folding down over the ends of the cummerbund. Everything is held in place with velcro. Flaps, cummerbund, etc.
The mag pouches are retaining so well that before the mags come out, it's unhooking the velcro on the flaps and the flaps are coming partially undone. Am I making sense? Is there an easy obvious fix for this? |

Ok now I smell what you're cooking. I'm not familiar with this PC but the velcro just needs more surface area to secure to up front.
If you have some loop side velcro laying around, you could weave some into the part underneath the flap for this purpose as a quick fix. That's what I'd do before replacing anything. Attached File |

You can leave a mag in the pouches for a while to help the nylon stretch and the kydex to re-shape a bit; leaving it in a hot car can help with that. The more extreme option is to use a heat gun to gently reshape the kydex to lower retention slightly. |

I've started threads about bayonets before, and participated heavily in others. I don't want to clutter up a tech thread talking about the why, I was just wondering if anyone had suggestions on the how. It's a fairly long thing to have hanging from my belt. From the times I've tried getting in and out of my truck with it there, it gets in the way a lot, or I end up sitting on it. I wanted to know if there are any good options out there to mount one directly to a plate carrier and not leave it dangling. |

Originally Posted By vjf915: Also, who isn't going to take you seriously with a rifle in your hands, but suddenly going to take you seriously when that rifle has a bayonet attached to it? View Quote I'm not sure this is true, the psychological differences have been noted quite a bit. Interesting to think how the Kyle Ritterhouse(sp?) situation may have been different if he had a bayonet, would the attackers have been so eager to close to contact distance? I'd much rather have a shooting match than a grappling fight. Patton had a quote: I beg leave to remind the {Cavalry} Board that very few people have ever been killed with the bayonet or sabre, but the fear of having their guts explored with cold steel in the hands of battle maddened men has won many a fight. So anyways, if my rifle or shotgun has a bayonet capability, I want a bayonet available. But it is a pain in the ass, especially the larger ones like M1905 or old long Enfield ones. But I don't have plate rigs to go with those rifles, so the bayonet can be attached to the shoulder bag/bandolier and not be too in the way. For the PC make sure your bayonet replaces the fixed blade knife if you do that. |
