The reason you are not seeing them, is do to your low post count. All images posted by members with 50 or less post need to be approved by a Team Member or above. 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! |

Does anyone know where I can purchase a rear plate panel for my Eagle RRV in coyote brown? It's hard finding one of these that isn't airsoft gear.

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) View Quote |

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!

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. |

View Quote 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. |

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

[#34]
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
|
|
|
[#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. |

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 positioning of the top of the plate is more important than the bottom of the plate.

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?
