Looking for a chest rig that can carry 6-8 FAL mags, plate slots are a bonus.

You guys have any favorites?

I think most chest rigs being made these days are modular, so you find a rig you like and then the pouches that you like, and attach them.  Lots of options in that context.

I'm still using a belt and suspenders setup, using mostly surplus gear.

Get a belt and put at least a couple of the mags on there.

My modern FAL/AR-10 chest rig is a Blue Force Gear RACKMinus with two double .308 Ten Speed mag pouches. Four mags on the rig; everything else on the belt or the pack. Esstac KYWIs are also excellent.

will check those out, thanks.

Was leaning towards a classic Rhodesian style but then thought plates would be cool since I already have ceramic in my 5.56 setup plate carrier that are easily swappable.

For armor get a proper plate carrier, because having only the one plate in the front sucks.

True. maybe I am better off just getting molle plate carrier and adding 20 round 7.62x51 pouches.

Six to eight FAL mags are going to weigh a lot.  

If you want plate pockets perhaps an Eagle Rhodesian rig which is basically a chest rig with s plate pouch.  Then you could go with HSGI Taco’s or G-Code Scorpion pouches which are nice because you can use them with FAL or any other .308 or 5.56 mags.
