Quoted: I am interested in the Eagle Plate Carrier with cumberbund and plan to get this along with various mags pouches. Do you have an idea for mag pouches where I could set up the design you are talking about and/or if there are pouches all ready set up this way. I do have an Eagle Chest Rig though that I can mod like you spoke of.
Not realizing who you were before I do have another question for you. On your double drop mag holder. The knife attachment, do you need a sheath or can you take your own knife and just slide it in there? I plan on purchasing one of them also for my 1st line gear and was wondering? That is an awesome set up for the price. I came very close recently in buying the Dach, but decided against it when I was looking to run plates. Thanks again.

Answer to your question on the mag pouches . HSGI make their UMMPS/D ( Universal Modular Magazine Pouch Single/Double ) which are sold through some of the dealers on the board . These pouches can hold either 3/M-4 , 2/AK , 2/.308 mags , or 1/M-18 smoke and 1/M-4 mag , or 2/M-4 mag w/couplers per pouch . These pouches use a stirrup inside to accomplish several issues . One being a divider . Another being it staggers the mags for easier mag extraction . You may place less mags within these pouches as thet have an adjustable shock-cord retention .
These are the same type of mags that are on the HSGI leg mounted version . To answer your question concerning sheath or just knife , you need a sheath . It was patterned to be used with a kydex knife sheath . Other sheathes may be sewn by hand if needed to mount onto the platform .
HSGI does make an OTV with cumberbund which I am soon to be making available to the HSGI dealers . It does have a removeable cumberbund that holds mags within as well . Here's a link to the vid
HSGI "Centurion" w/ Cumberbund ( 1.26 MB ). It was shot freehand and in some low light , but I was playing around and having fun doing it .
By the way meateater , been lurking on this forum for quite some time and was a member on AK47 a long time ago . You know me , I can never taljk enough
