[ARCHIVED THREAD] - MOLLE/PALS spacing or dimension spacing specifications?

Posted: 10/7/2005 11:03:01 AM EDT

Looking for the spec for webbing placement.

Is there a written spec since this has been sort of adopted by the mil or is this a "civilian"free-for-all?"

If something has been adopted by the mil, there must be a spec written. They have a spec for going to the latrine, for Pete's sake.

I have been using 1" spacing between 1" webbing and 1.25" between tacks. Is this good enough?

I did a search everywhere I could think, including a search on patents. Maybe my wording is incorrect.

Mucho Thanks.

Your 1" and 1.25" measurements are spot on.
When I make mods to my gear, that's what I use.
I've never been able to find the milspec papers on this, either.

Thanks, guys!

Purely a guess on my part, but it looked about right. I'll drive on and post pics after I'm done.

EGG,

Are you the same guy on Assaultweb?

Just wondering if this is an agreed industy standard of is this whatever gear maker decides he wants to do? I have yet to see anything written on it. It just seems that half an inch is a lot of play side to side for mounting gear. Or is it just me?

Also, who has the patent rights to MOLLE/PALS and do I need to pay them royalties if I start using the attaching system for manufacter? Trying to stay legal here.

that has been the norm since the PALS concept came into play and that spacing allows for a variety of interface methods, no sense in using pliers to pull stuff through with its TOO TIGHT

Oops. Did my math wrong.
8 webs over 12" is, indeed, 1.5" inches and not 1.25"
