Anyone ever mod a ATS M4 Modular Chest Harness to use Esstac's or another brand kydex retention inserts? I'm guessing I'd have to add velcro to the inside of the pouches?

This is the rig I'm talking about:

The Esstac inserts kick ass.  I've used them in just about every chest rig and pouch I own.  I've put them in pouches without any Velcro and they work pretty good.  The flare at the top provides enough tension to hold them in, but I guess if you really work at it, you can pull them out.  As long as you have a little material left at the top of the pouch to enclose the insert, they will stay put.

On my own pouches I line both sides of the pouch with mating Velcro, although I have a buddy who has just sewn in on one side and it holds plenty good.  

It doesn't take all that much to hold them in.  A 2" x 2" patch should work just fine.  Position it towards the top of the pouch and you'll be GTG.
