Once they are approved, they should show up for you just fine, but they are showing up fine for the rest of us."

So im thinking I just need to get my post count up or wait until an admin approves them. Thanks for the help though!

It'll show the approve image thing until he gets 50 posts every time you load the page/post that has pictures, RA just has to post more

Well since apparently I have to post a bit more for my pictures to show up, I thought I could add a few more pictures of some of the other stuff I have. This here is my "mini chest rig". It's a Tactical Tailor Mini MAV that I set up to hold my 7.62 Pmags for my LR .308. I wanted to set it up to be real light and versatile, but I also had the idea that if I needed to do full body armor and all with my .308, I could just take that small chest rig and throw it over top of my JPC, rather than need to redo all the MOLLE for the pouches or have two separate plate carriers. Anyways, it's made up of the TT Mini MAV, two TT double 7.62 pouches, and two Flashbang pouches, one on each side. (yes, I painted one green. I HATE the UCP pattern, but i got the pouch for free). Another cool thing about it is that the 7.62 pouches will actually hold three 5.56 magazines apiece, so I could use the whole thing as a really light 5.56 setup as well. Anyways, let me know if you have any questions!



Here is proof that the pouches will hold three 5.56 mags each. I actually had to extend the velcro strips as you can see with the black strips because the magazine was meant for 20 round mags, not 25 or 30

I also got into some Kydex molding this weekend, and made myself a new MOLLE holster for my M&P9 for my War Belt, so here are some pictures of that.

Theres the front of it (and my feet). I didnt want to place a lot on the chest because that gets really uncomfortable when you are in the prone for more than an hour or so. CAT Gen7 on the chest as well, and a few pens, pencils, etc in the admin pouch up front. and yes, I did weave my sling through the shoulder pads and clip it under my hydration carrier. actually helps to lift some of the weight off your back by pulling it up from the downward pull of the rifle. Also, HSGI shoulder pads. SUPER comfortable and dont ever slip.

http://imgur.com/FInAGn4.jpg

Next is my personally set up back panel. it consists of an SKD PIG 2L Hydration carrier with a Tactical Tailor 1H pouch on top (contains, batteries, chemlights, throat mic, etc) , and a 200 round SAW pouch on the bottom (has protien bars and beverage powders for a 48 hour supply). I took some shock cord and barrel clamps on the sides to pull everything taught so there is no flopping around of empty pouches, and keeps the whole thing nice and slick too.

http://imgur.com/Ynh5XEi.jpg

Here's my left side. Has two Tactical Tailor double M4 pouches, which usually sit empty unless I need the extra mags. Additionally there is MY IFAK (a Tactical Tailor Universal mag pouch) which has shears, tape, Israeli Bandage, and Quick Clot, all for me to patch myself up with.

http://imgur.com/ZJx4kmP.jpg

My right side sits nice and empty for the most part. Just a Tactical Tailor Hard Case 85 for Eyepro and a USMC Flashbang pouch for my radio (you can see the cords running along the side)

Alright, so all of you are correct, just gotta piece it all together. The way it worked for me was I enlisted into the Indiana Guard right out of high school. Went 11B, did Basic, Infantry School, the whole nine yards. Came back to Indiana after training and spent some time as an enlisted soldier in the 76th. After a few months I enrolled in college and contracted in the ROTC program to become an officer after college. So I no longer drill with the 76th, hence the "old unit". Now I spend my time drilling with other cadets, learning specifics of being an officer. As for the ROTC ranks, all they do is symbolize your role in your ROTC battalion. so Team leaders get cadet SGT ranks, PLs get cadet lieutenant ranks, so on and so on. My actual pay grade is an E5 as a contracted cadet.
So for National Guard events, as a cadet I wear the cadet dot rank, and for ROTC events, as a squad leader in our battalion, I wear the Cadet SSG rank. Hope that helps clear up some things!

So, Cadet, why are your scope mounts for your two middle rifles mounted backwards, and why is the mount for the AR-15 on the handguard, rather than the receiver?

I mean, that's some straight up cadidiot shit, not something I'd expect from a fellow 11B.

Alright, I will gladly do some explaining with you. I'll just start at the top and work my way down.

To FightingHellfish -
Yes, you could say I was out of regs, but thats because I was at the range that day running through some shooting drills with buddies of mine.

To SiVisPAcem -
For the AR15, I wanted the red dot mounted as far forward as possible while still being able to see the dot well, so as to maintain as much peripheral vision as possible. As for why they are backwards, when it comes to cantilever mounts, I dont think there really is a backwards or forwards to cantilever mounts. you can flat out go to google images and search "cantilever mount ar15" and it comes out set up either way about equally. So unless half the firearms community is wrong about how to utilize a mount, I think it is fine either way. As for why it is on the handguard, my sling mount for a two point conversion sits right below that mount, and I thought it might reduce the potential of the optic getting caught in the sling mount there if I had it set that way. It has maintained it zero for several hundred rounds now, with no issues. Maybe I will switch it up now that I think about it, maybe I wont. At the end of the day your rifle should be set up the way that is most comfortable for YOU to shoot, and that works well for me.

To daemon734 -
The JPC is set up heavier because I wanted a modular platform to use. I wanted it to be heavy and more protective if I needed it to be, or lighter and faster if I needed it to be. Crye has a ton of options for the JPC platform to make it work either way. At the end of the day, fully loaded with water and ammo, side and rear plates, it weighs about 25-30 lbs, which isnt bad all things considered. Much better than an IOTV or IBA. As for the helmet, it is a Large. I know, it looks like it sits really high on my head, but thats because the ACH padding that is issued is really thick. It was a bit of an oversight on my part. but the helmet is a large and I dont have that big of a head.

To 21BoomCBTENGR -
Cutting the ACH down as a whole was an experiment in itself. I looked into it and only found a handful of people that successfully did it well. The way I did it was go very slowly with a dremel tool, nicking away layer by layer of kevlar. took about two hours total. It frayed around the cuts, but come epoxy and heat shrink wrap sealed it all back up well. As for the integrity of it? coultnt tell you. Im not about to go out and shoot up a helmet I paid good money for and put work into. seeing as how the whole helmet only frayed around the edges, maybe just around the bottom edges for about a quarter inch is really where I would be worried at all. Here is a picture of how it sealed up inside for you.

What exactly doesnt check out? I'd be more than willing to clarify anything if you want me to.

Handguards aren't an advisable place to mount your optics unless it's a monolothic upper, or the barrel nut is forged into the handguard like AeroPrecision's M4E1. But regardless, peripheral vision shouldn't be a problem with both eyes open, which you should be doing with a RDS

ETA: and cantilevers are built and designed so that they push the optic farther forward than the picatinny slots in which they are mounted, not further back. And again, put the damn mount on your receiver, your handguard isn't suitable. 

ETA2: And tighten up those shoulder straps on your PC, the plates are too low/ not level/parallel.
Link Posted: 5/13/2017 6:04:05 PM EDT

Sounds good. I will make sure to switch out the AR15s mount. As for the plates, what is a good standard to have them sit at? like below 2nd rib or something along those lines? I set them just to where I thought they would cover the most amount of vital organs while still retaining a good amount of mobility
Link Posted: 5/13/2017 6:04:53 PM EDT

That and its a little odd because the front plate is a swimmer cut plate, but the rear plate is a full cut plate, and both are curved
Link Posted: 5/13/2017 6:12:07 PM EDT
[#35]
Index off the top edge of the plate, the top edge should come up the top of your sternum, right up to that v notch right below your larynx, and standing straight, the back plate should stand parallel with the plate, as in if a board was put through your body and on the top edges of both plates, there should be zero incline or decline in that board.

Also, your back plate is low, can't tell with your front.
Link Posted: 5/13/2017 6:16:03 PM EDT

Awesome. Thanks! I'll tweak with it and see if I can get it a bit tighter. It feels fine when utilizing it normally, but if the back plate is too low, I will fix that. Its comfortable when walking, but it seems to bounce a bit when running.

The point with the plates locations are if they are placed where the poster above indicated they'll cover the important organs.  If you take a pill in the lower intestines it's not a game-over.

To clarify this: the top of the front plate should be level with the bottom of your sternal notch and the top of the back plate at the level of your C7 vertebrae, the most prominent one on your neck.

"Important organs" being the heart, lungs (as much as possible), great vessels (that feed your heart), and spine. The liver can come too.

Where they're telling you to position them is the appropriate location. The positioning of the top of the plate is more important than the bottom of the plate. See this link: https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_10/349140_Proper_wear_of_Hard_Armor__with_anatomical_diagrams_.html

So I adjusted the shoulder straps, and everything sits a bit higher now, covering those areas well. feels a bit weird, but im sure ill get used to it. Is there an optimal area for side plates? because mine are just sitting up right in the middle of my sides right now, so there is a good two inch gap between the front plate, the side plates, and the back plate. Would it be better to move them more forward, if you are more likely to take a round from the front rather than the back? or is that all just up to the user?

It's up to individual preference and gear capability, but generally you get better protection higher up. I tend to do high and forward, just because.

Still working on my 3rd line gear, not really enough money for any kind of ruck/pack at the moment. Currently in college with no money except for my summer job. Currently no holster for my pistol. Plan on purchasing that next and replacing my canteen on my belt with it. In the meantime I can stuff it into one of the front square pouches on my chest rig.

EDIT: How can I just get my pictures to show up here without having to link them?
