gisburn20 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Small custom mod here, I recently bought my first modern plate carrier, a secondhand ACM 6094. I'm usually a belt kit kinda guy, maybe a chestrig at a push, but this was a bargain so I thought I'd give it a go. First issue was I needed some dummy plates to keep it in shape, 20mins and one interlocking foam floor tile later, plates done, a lot lighter than my old issue CBA! But while it was comfy, I found ripping open the huge vecro panel to release the cummerbund excruciatingly noisy and frankly a ball ache. I had a vague idea about replacing the velcro with some clips, until I found somebody had beaten me to it. http://aresarmor.com/store/Item/AA-PCS Now me being cheap I wasn't about to pay loads of shipping for that, so i grabbed a couple of 25mm clips and some velcro from my sewing box and made one, and a sling at the same time. Still comfy, just a lot easier and quieter to put on, totally reversible/ no permanent changes to rig, the velcro tab is just folded back on itself with the paracord "handle" threaded through the pals webbing on the outside. The clips are fitted with a 6" strip of velcro, hook one side and loop the other sewn back to back to engage both sides under the flap, very solid. Same for the sling, 6" velcro hook/loop on a 25mm webbing strap biting into the velcro joining the shoulder strap. Jim 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Nice work. Only PC I had which used that standard velcro flap was the DCS and the one time I skirmished it I really wasn't a fan, there's so many faster, easier options out there and granted you lose one PALS column with a lot of them but you only need it on one side so that seems like a valid sacrifice to my mind.If I had the time I'd make that up as some sort of a kit to sell, would cost hardly anything at all to make. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gisburn20 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I haven't skirmished it yet, and I have a little while to play with the setup, I need to be able to swap quickly between 5.56 and 7.62 mags, so I'm considering a BFG triple sr25 pouch across the flap instead of the bulky triple AK wedge, but I just found a cheap Toysoldier 7.62 triple kangeroo pouch coming in the mean time. I want to keep the front pretty slick so I can get prone my Sr25. Jim Edited August 25, 2014 by gisburn20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Imperator Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 This may be a bit off-topic, but can anyone advise on a brand/model, or type of specs for a sewing machine that can handle cordura and webbing? Preferebly without going industrial crazy.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eklam Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Singer 99k/185k or one of the many clones made by other brands. In the Uk, these cost around £20-50 second hand. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

echodafish Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Your holster is unmodified commercially available parts. I am confused why it is here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Your holster is unmodified commercially available parts. I am confused why it is here. Messed up the picture links. Sheath and shroud have both been modified, drilled to mount the sheath on the shroud. Currently waiting on another pair of rivet nuts to finish it off. If it's not custom enough for you I do apologise for the offence and confusion caused. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

navymp28 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Been messing around for a little while with making my own kit. This is an MJK RACK I made for my MBAV. I also made the integration straps for the chest, the single point sling, and the retention bungee. I also made a QR attachment system for the Platatac Bullock as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I apologise in advance for posting my holster AGAIN, but photographed a little bit more properly here we go... One does not simply take a picture of a pistol without an edged tool ( I made that thread trimmer sheath with scrap material and I quite like it, not for game use but I take that to fishing instead, great for cutting fishing lines ) Belt kit ( I've only made the holster and sheath ) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chas Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thought this might be the best place to ask. I want a Gorka suit/BDU (do not care about cold weather protection, just for airsofting). I believe the one I like is the Gorka-E in Partizan or Waffen SS pattern, like so: http://blog.gruppa-l.com/wp-content/uploads/DSCI0449.jpg http://blog.gruppa-l.com/wp-content/uploads/13wp6upyj.jpg But they are hard to find in my size and very expensive for something Ill wear maybe twice a year. Since I have very cheap and ingenious tailors in my vecinity, I was thinking about getting a cheaper Partizan suit like this one (although with a more classic pattern): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Russian-Army-Spetsnaz-NEW-PARTIZAN-SS-WAFFEN-Camo-Summer-Uniform-/271579526476?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f3b66b54c and have the tailor sew on some brwon reinforcement material. A) How good/bad of an idea do you guys think this is? What type of cloth should I get for the Brown parts? Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 For the material you want duck canvas/cotton duck. Its worth saying though that whilst SSO gorkas are quite pricey you can get get something like this for just over $100usd - which may be cheaper then the $45 over suit, material and labour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 The problema with the one you linked to is that it isn't being offered in the Waffen SS or leto pattern I like. Also, that shop offers partizan suits for 36$. Add 15$ in fabric and 20$ for the tailor work (they take my pants in for 2 euros!), and Im getting a Gorka-looking suit for 70$. Plus shipping.
