So I have been thinking about purchasing a Chicom chest rig since I don't have an easy way to carry mags around. Money is too tight for an Eagle AK rig or something fancier. I figured I might luck out at the gunshow today and find something...
Halfway down the first row there was a guy selling some kind of woodland camo chest rig. I looked a little closer and it was a rig for AK mags (and/or AR mags) Woodland camo, 4 mag pouches plus a short strip of ALICE web on either side, and EAGLE INDUSTIRES tag on it ("model CP-AK47-C") along with "Official Cordura" tag too.
"How much you want?" I ask
"Twenty Bucks."
"SOLD!"
This is the third tiime I have taken my G/F to the gunshow with me, and the thrid time I have found a ridiculously good deal on something. Last time I scored a used 7.5" AR barrel fro $25. The time before I found good quality Indian blankets for $9 and all the E German militaria that was on my list! She is a gunlovers good luck charm, I swear!
[ETA] I should mention when I asked about it (not recoginizing the design) the guy seemed to think it was some short production run or one-off item. It looks like the 4 mag AR cehst rig, but with slightly larger pouches and with short ALICE webbing instead of the pistol pouches. It also has a 2" wide waist strap, which corrects what I find to be a design flaw on the typical carrier. It was as though God himself took down the specs from my noggin and made it real! Can you tell how excited I am about this find? I'll post pics later when i get a chance...
