So, here is my idea. I plan to carry my AR carbine in my bugout bag (Eberlestock Terminator) so it will be concealed. I would like a chest rig that I can wear with the pack, but it has to be somewhat discreet (as discreet as a chest rig can be). I figure I should use a chest rig because a belt setup will not work well with the pack's hip belt. I pretty much want to limit the belt to the Wilderness Tactical Safepacker because of this restriction. I figure that if I need the rifle, I can ditch the pack and pull it out of the top or be carrying the rifle when I need to and I'm away from "the public". The requirements for the chest rig are two fold. 1. It must carry an admin pouch big enough for an E&E kit, small binoculars and some odds and ends. 2. The AR mags must be somewhat or totally concealed. My idea is to take something like the Tactical Tailor Mini-Mav, put 3 tacos on the front and then put an oversized admin pouch on top of the tacos. I could use 20 round pmags in the tacos and the oversized admin pouch should conceal the magazines a bit. Has anybody done anything like this? Is there another option I'm not thinking of? Is my plan just stupid overall? For the reading impaired:  + 3 of these  + This over the front of the tacos to conceal them.   |
I was thinking the same thing after I bought my Eagle chest rig. I was worried about having to conceal it if I need to. I sold it and got a BFG ten speed chest rig. This is about as low profile as u can get with a chest rig. The only thing is it has no pals on the front of it to mount anything else, but it holds 6 mags so if u where just caring 4 you could use the other two for whatever else. It only weighs 8.7 oz.

The answer is quite simple. The Diamondback Tactical® Low Vis. Rack - LV1. Its a great rig, I've had mine for 5 years now. I like the setup alot. 4 AR Mags, deeply concealed under bungie cords. 3 Pistol Mag pouches. 3 GP Pouches, and a Radio or Med pouch. I got mine from Blackhawk on clearnace for 35$ 5 years ago. Why DBT is running them for 99 is odd, but whatever. If you add up seperate mag pouches, GP Pouches, Med Pouches, and a Rack your gonna come out about the same.
It seems to fit all your requirements, so give it a look. PMAGs are kinda tight but could be workable. http://diamondbacktactical.com/product/Diamondback-Tacticalreg-Low-Vis-Rack-LV1,216,63.htm |
