Gents,

I pulled the trigger last week on a Kifaru Zulu Pack and a few more Kifaru goodies.  How is the delivery time nowadays?  Do you Kifaru owners really waited 6-8 weeks for delivery or they usually deliver sooner than that?  Later?

Other thing... I know Kifaru offers a few gadgets to carry your long gun in the "ready" position (Combat GunBearer/Universal Combat GunBearer).  Im interested in how do you carry a long gun (M4 type rifle) secured in a Zulu (or another Kifaru pack) NOT using any of the GunBearer systems.  It dont have to be in a "ready" position, but a secured position... actually I'm asking for a way to carry a 2nd rifle.
 
Any experiences and pics are greatly appreciated.

Best regards.

My Zulu arrived in 6 weeks. I ordered it in July and got it in August.

I have a Kifaru MMR that I got in '04. Even then it took 6-8 weeks for delivery. But well worth the wait .

I have the Pointman. I bought it about 3 years ago and it is tough as nails. I also got two long pockets to go with it and an E&E to attach to it also. Great gear and worth it. It may be expensive but I would rather buy once.

well it will "fit" in the rear slot pocket, but I had to almost empty all of it to do that.

the pockets expand 'in', so they take up volume of the main space, and depending what you have in there, it can be a bitch. depending on how you want to use it, you might be better off comming up with a way to strap it to the outside, with some dock-in-lock buckles and paracord.
ETA looks like they aready have something for this:
The Auxiliary Holster
This Holster is designed to carry additional long guns, sniper rifles, skis or other awkward long objects. Like our Combat GunBearerĀ®, it holds them with rock solid stability - but without the quick draw convenience of the upper strap. This holster affixes to the sides or back of your pack for long marches, while your Combat GunBearerĀ® lends fast access to your primary weapon. The holster cradles the lower end of your gear, while the upper portion can be secured with our upper Auxiliary Holster Strap, the EMR compression straps, or compressed under your side pockets.

All these GunBearers can attach anywhere on our packs, so you can add multiple units for carrying more than one firearm.

Price: $30.00 one each
