Waiting on a Esstac IFAK and one more mag pouch. Gonna do a little rearranging.

Maybe a good admin pouch, radio pouch when I get one, and a hydration pack in the future?

Also, a belt that all of you usually show is worn ALONG normal pants belt, right?
Is it doable to just get a gun belt that keeps your pants on and maybe hold 2-3 pouches? Nothing insane?

Would the magazine for a Ruger Gunsite fit in an M14 magazine pouch?

Yes battle belt is usually worn over an underbelt, but a regular underbelt should do fine with a very light load.

Because they are made like hightop basketball shoes out of materials that never break in. They are designed to be extra comfortable when you put them on standing in Dicks or Gander Mountain.

They are not made to support your feet when your wearing a pack, or wearing them for long periods of time, or running much in them.

You do realize that's a pretty stupid place for a torniquet right? I recommend putting together an IFAK or med pouch.

>>30655467
Depends on which parts we're talking about.

I order spare trigger parts and recoil springs from the DSA site because most LGS's don't really keep FAL parts on hand.

The more gucci shit like stocks and handguards comes from the companies that make them.

I try to keep running spares of all the parts in my rifle after I fucked up a landing one time and bent my barrel.

Site looks like it's from the early 2000's

HighCom's Guardian 4SAS7 and AT Armor's FFS4 are good low cost choices. AT Armor has a big advantage over HighCom because the FFS4 follows the NIJ .06 standard which means it's passed plate drop and environmental tests (plates that pass this standard usually cost upwards of 400 dollars per plate).

>>30658175
Tape the rubber bits. If you don't, it will have a tacky, sticky feel to it for like ever. remove the bolt and charging handle and tape the action from the inside and out. You can paint the pistol grip, but it will wear quickly and come off in your hand. I would recommend just not painting it. To be extra safe with optics I always put toilet paper inside scope cap and tape the caps down. Can't be too cautious in my opinion. Tape off important markings like numbers on scope turrets. Plug the barrel with a soft earplug. Pic related is my rifle. No clearcoat or anything, just straight up Krylon.

>>30658175

I would just tape off anything that moves or has openings or narrow cracks that lead deeper than the actual surface. Adjustment knobs, mag release, magwell, trigger slot, anything leading to the action or bore.

As for the rubber you can paint right over it and it will probably ruin the feel until the paint cracks and falls off.

Standalone plates include a Dyneema backer behind the ceramic strike face to deal with the distribution of force and such. In the end, it's still most likely going to hurt quite a bit, but you'll still be in action.

Recommendations?

Also, convince me to just hit buy on a set of IV plates and a carrier from Highcom. $437 plus shipping. I feel like with every passing day is a day closer to no longer being able to buy them.

Even their VP says 3-5 day shipping, processing 10x the volume of competitors.

>>30660428
Why are you sorry? It's better than having the fold over cummerbund flap garbage on the front that restricts mag pouch placement. And it's a pain in the dick to find PCs that fit XS plates.

>>30660305
Those look good to go.

>>30660514
Sorry because god the KDH PC cummerbund is retarded, it's like they gave a 12 year old some pictures of plate carriers and made him design the cummerbund.

Also, ain't nothing wrong with a front flap. What kind of mag placement are you doing that doesn't work with one?

>>30660469
ive only shot in it 3 times, but its just like the m83 ive been using, only thing is the TNTG doesn't have the "padding" around the waist area but thats minor

>>30660773
In the KDH, yes. My XS plates are too small to use in a regular flap-type PC and the AR500 plates I have aren't a perfect fit for the Condor PC. They're about 3/4 to a full inch too short and maybe 1 1/2 inches too narrow.

>>30660817

That's because that page is for 0101.06 compliant armor. I think NIJ certification is important especially on the departmental level and I think that companies that pretend they are certified using weasel-words are borderline unethical, but NIJ certifications are not the sole barometer of armor quality. Some of the really nice plates never got NIJ certified since they were intended for the military and there was no point in paying extra to do tests to 2 different specs.

It's not a difficult concept. Yeah, sure I guess you can claim to be the ultimate woodsman who can find water anywhere, but me- when I'm out on a hike in summer or out with all my gear, I like knowing I've got water on me.

Sure, you can stick a water bottle in your pocket, but that's just an improvised version on having a dedicated spot for it.

Honestly, if you think water isn't important, that's really no skin off me. You do you, I'll do me and carry water.

This said essential water source in reference to a picture of "just kit" clearly lacking a camelback.

Please provide an example of needing water so imediately that X amount attached to only my kit is essential.

Also what claim? Isn't he inna building, standing infront of a sink probably?

Fucking typical heretic response. Enjoy getting tentacle raped to death eternally in the warp once your "Gods" are done using you.

When I die I will go to the Emperor's side and dine with all his faithful warriors.

It's generally considered essential for when it's actually being used innawoods/for work/whatever. Clearly a photo-op on /k/ isn't actively using it at that moment.

>Please provide an example of needing water so imediately that X amount attached to only my kit is essential.

When you're outdoors or wearing your kit and water isn't immediately around. Sipping on water in small sips keeps people sharp, and in extreme cases keeps them from passing out. I have seen plenty of soldiers go down or be very decreased in effectiveness by lack of water.

If you don't want to carry it, then that's you. It really doesn't affect me. At this point I think you're just arguing for the sake of it.

Homie, "that's on you" is my thing.

Why is it ESSENTIAL to have it attached to your plate carrier as in photo?

>>30664819
>is water essential for life
Honestly, don't put a bladder on your carrier or belt. Nothing that could store water. Don't. I don't want you to live.

Are shotgun scabbards a gimmick or not? I dont have a sling mount on my shotgun.

>>30665034
I like the idea but they are probably gimmicky.
Also drawing seems awkward, and a sling is just a better choice.

However, I could see it being a good idea on a horse or ATV

not to mention submersion tests and a lot more multi hit tests than the cheaper one step down NIJ 04 plates (4SAS7 series)

>>30665034
They're probably stupid for anything that isn't a vehicle or animal used for transporting yourself.
