Maybe WTF has something, but otherwise they are coming from manufacturers that cost, or you're going to have to put it together piecemeal and pay for it that way. You might try to find a 3mag placard with molle and add from there. Try HSGI |

Pretty please? View Quote Like I told Pfran, doable but. We are making one for him Hard mounting the tubes/roc to the side of the front panel you loose the ability to adjust the bun up front. Assuming they are on velcro tabs(how ours are) Keeping the elastic TQ separate on velcro is also a better option. The elastic is going to wear out. When it does it better to replace a 10$ part vs a front panel or trying to get it fixed. |

Seems like a good place for a PSA: Trex Arms has some more AC-Uno carriers in stock.
Paired with a set of $300 L210s from them, it's a solid entry or truck setup. I bought one just to have a second kit. I'll test it against my Slickster & offer some opinions after I get it. Why have one when you can have two at twice the price? |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Originally Posted By TCBA_Joe: How are there more AC-Unos if he's fixed the production promise and they've been sold out? Here’s the text of the email I got from them. Sorry if the formatting sucks, I’m just cutting and pasting. It was titled “The unexpected return of the AC-Uno”. As you probably know, on April 1, we announced the “AC-Uno” – a potentially foreign-made version of our AC-1, and how we told the story of a manufacturer that tried to make a quick buck by outsourcing across the border. We are now ready to disclose the next chapter in the story – and if you are getting this email, you have an exclusive shot at getting another AC-Uno. To read about what happened, you can go to the following link: T.REX ARMS Inc. v. IB Design, LLC and John Lawton Essentially, with the conclusion of our lawsuit, we found ourselves sitting on a bunch of stuff John Lawton had made for us, none of which we had previously thought existed, but all of it of suspected foreign manufacture. If you are getting this email, you were on the email waitlist for the AC1 on April 1. As you may remember, the demand for the AC-Uno broke our servers. You may not have previously been able to order. We are recreating the sale we had on April 1st for that original waitlist: AC-Unos for $140, L210s for 20% off. You can find the AC-Unos at the following link: The AC-Uno While we've been working through our lawsuit with John Lawton, we’ve also been getting the AC1 manufacturing spun up with a new manufacturer. If you’d prefer an American made carrier, we will have some available in September. |

I am looking to get another PC. I currently have an SKD PIG with a Haley DC3RX rigged up to it. I use this mostly for run and gun comps. Looking at the PCs in this thread it looks like all of the newer stuff is only big enough to handle 3 mags across the front. Are there any PCs out there that I can slap a DC3RX to without it overhanging into the cumberbund? I guess what I'm asking is, is there a PC with enough of a velcro panel to securely hold the Haley? Just from the pics I'm seeing it doesn't look like it. Thanks for the help.

All I currently have are steel plates in a basic Point Blank carrier.
Boss is letting me and another guy rock our carriers at work for a day next week. It's honestly a bet to see who can last the longest in steel plates. Work at a gun shop, so it won't be too crazy of a look. I have a feeling after a work shift, I'll be having thoughts about the carrier and what things I might want to think about changing, like the heavy steel plates for something lighter. |

Hmmm, so far I'm not a huge fan of this set up.
The stock photo at coyote tactical I guess does show the front Velcro as wider than the cummerbund itself. I guess it didn't click that it would overlap the Velcro on the carrier. The rear Velcro is the same width so it's fine. The other thing I don't like is the tq pouch is not fully covered. Not a deal breaker though. I guess I'll just cut the Velcro and throw a seam on the edge. Also not sure why they use a black tube on coyote. Solid meh Attached File |

The front panel is the HRT Maximus placard. Pretty good bang for buck imo.
I'm remember there being an ATAK thread here on arfcom going as far back as a year or two ago. Not sure if it's still active though. Definitely something we should keep in the tool box and spread around the 2A community. At the very least you can share maps and overlays with others. |
