Agree. If you need more than 120 rounds as a civilian you are in trouble.

It may weigh 6oz more than the latest and greatest but it holds up to to the obuse. I always get compliments on its "tone" which I mention a lot. |

Anyone who discounts th NT4 is a clown. The Suppressors can hold up to tons of abuse. Plus, they sound better than most. Period. |

I have 150. 1 in the gun, 1 one the belt, 3 on my plate carrier. Let's say a small group puts you in a bad situation (5 people), If you blow through 120 rounds.... yikes. Either use rounds to cover your escape, or put down bad guys. High group counts of 10 people or more.... well maybe you stumbled into a blm rally and should not have been there in the first place. NFAC? Same story, stay home. Patrolling stateside? Keep more ammo in the vehicle and replenish your carrier as necessary. *This is only my thought process and opinion. I am already a bigger person and do not want to carry a ton of shit. |

It will actually be 160 rounds total. I think, for a guy north of half a century and not exactly in shape, probably more than I can use. Still happy to have it. Kangaroo pouch works great and North American Rescue Mini IFK left side. All I have to do is order another set of shoulder pads - I lost one during the emergency move last month.

Old one redone for best friend with the 2 mag panel I pulled off the other one. CAT tourniquet and ersatz medical kit until I can buy another Mini IFK. Only doubled up IIIA soft armor inside but better than bare skin. I ha e no idea where the side panels disappeared to, but the buckles should hold it in emergency use until Incan locate another cummerbund setup.

I'm very impressed with my minimal Slickster setup. I did about 15 hours of rifle & pistol CQB type training with CETS this weekend in the hot, humid South Texas afternoons, and it was solid. Comfortable on my shoulders even with no pads, the elastic cummerbund kept it secure, and it was much less stifling than I expected. It actually breathes pretty well. Overall, if you're going for a minimal setup, I'm a big fan. It was super dusty, dirty, rocky and uneven where we were, and we rolled around on our backs, sides, and stomachs a bunch. Slickster really did great.
It's a medium Slickster with L210 plates. Stock setup with the addition of their Turnover triple mag shingle. It weighs 14.5 pounds with three full PMAGs.

The proof of concept front flap delete on my LBT-6094A went better than expected. I carefully cut the seams and nothing on the carrier was cut or torn. Found a High Ground Gear triple mag shingle insert and some KYWI inserts in one of my parts bins and mated it up with the Shaw Concepts ARC Placard V2.
 Attached File Attached File Attached FileI didn't have a Swiftclip adapter for the 6094 so I temporarily rigged up some Velcro OneWrap to a couple of ITW QASMs and threw everything together. Removing the front flap (5 layers of material) on the PC really slimmed it up.  Attached FileNow that I know this will work, I went ahead and ordered a MSM QASM VERTICAL ATTACHMENT KIT and a Shaw Concepts Elastic 556 Placard V2. This will take care of my 5.56 needs. For my MPX setup, I'll use the Shaw Concepts ARC Placard V2 and a Spiritus Submachine Gun Magazine Insert. |

I'm doing something similar, but with the Agilite AMAP3 instead. It's a nice pack, and a good deal larger than the Flatpack, which is a blessing and a curse. Biggest issue with the AMAP with a bladder or anything in it, is that it interferes with my sling setup, whereas a Flatpack doesn't cause any real issues. |
