So I'm renovating the house and I went to Goodwill to get rid of crap. While there I see this beat up Blackhawk Recon Chest Rig. It's clearly missing parts. But for $5 you can't beat it.



So I buy and and get an old H-Harness from Vietnam era and rig it with an old Level IV plate lying around.




I now have a new rig to keep in my truck.

Yes, that is a bent nail in place of the FSB gas tube pin. It is solid and works.

Firstly. Why are you going to good will? You literally donate shit to a company who sells things for profit. In the future you should use the salvation army.

Because they're five minutes from my house and the shit I gave them won't sell.

True, Goodwill is the most profitable nonprofit in the country. The ceo makes a hefty six-figure income, IIRC.

But that said it's one of the best places to get crazy deals. Mine include a TI-86 calculator for 99 cents, a base station 200ch radio scanner for $5, various TV's and flatscreen monitors for pennies on the dollar, an electric wheelchair for $1.29 (tag sale) that I flipped in a week for $140. As for body armor, I found a point blank vest with no kevlar panels but the titanium trauma plate was in it, I think I paid $10.

Polymer lower.  CavArms?  I had a couple of those back in the day, but they were early versions.  That one looks different.

You could pick up a roll pin at a hardware store for the change in your pocket from your gw score.

Why? The nail does the same exact job and has held that gas tube to the  FSB on that upper for years now.

 



It works then and it works now. No need to change it for the sake of change. When I built that rie I did it without the need to buy shit. Adapt, improvise, overcome.
