Please help decide the next Strike Hard Gear Chest rig
« on: August 08, 2014, 12:04:44 AM »
I finally have some development time on my hands and want to design another chest rig. They are all worthy projects but I need your help to prioritize. If you were in the market for a chest rig which offering would interest you the most?

I appreciate your vote,

Todd

I agree for me the only reason to have his would be for SHTF so having it in a rifle that I would actually use for SHTF situations is a plus and being able to add a plate too it is even better.

What about a dedicated rig for the VZ58/VZ2008? A whole lot of us guys here just bought them and I'm not sure that the mags would fit in AK pouches. Or if you make a dedicated AK rig just make sure there is enough wiggle room to get the VZ mags in their as well.

I agree. Something for the VZ would be nice.. Half a chest rig for mags and half a chest rig for strippers

Those are going to have to be some big pouches or your going to have to get some really small strippers. I mean they tend to be light and in shape most of the time and g-strings dont take up much space.

Id man up and sacrifice the added room for the flexibility of the rig :P

It would defiantly make those SHTF situations that much easier to deal with.  :downtown:

Our standard AK rig already accepts VZ58 and probably the VZ2008. Most AR pouches are 3" wide ours are 3 1/4 to accommodate the mag lug. The VZ58 with its spine fits just fine.

Thanks for asking the question.

Just had another thought. It would be nice to be able to accommodate magazines and stripper clips, say 4 - 6 mags and 6 - 12 clips. It would be good for the VZ58 and for SKS with the Marcus adapters.

I, too, like the thought of having a 8-12 pouches for 30rd x39 and sks stripper clips.  But better yet, one that has pouches 360 degrees and reversible; nothing better than an efficient (as many mags and clips possible) rig for the worst-case scenario.
