Shihan Chest Rig! Pictures on Page 3
Well I have been looking for a chest rig but none without costing a "squillion" bucks fit what I wanted, so I designed my own and had it built by someone who has been doing it for quite awhile and has built gear for some high speed guys overseas and for some customers of mine.
It is made from Crye Precision Multicam 1000 Denier Cordura but I did have other colors made for a few customers that saw mine and wanted one.
All the hardware is ITW Ghullie-Tex.
The design is similar to the elusive SKD rig with some changes.
Velcro was added to the pistol flap fronts.
Removable bungie shock cords were added instead of the elastic retention.
2 D-rings were added to each shoulder strap.
The Molle on both sides of the rig were increased to 3 wide to be able to add more of a variety of pouches if needed.
Added from a reponse below:
The shock cord is adjustable with a plunger type "thing" for a wide variety of mags.
The elastic was removed and replaced with bungies.
It is also able to be semi customized. If someone wants to have individual pistol flaps like you did that is no problem.
The bungies are removable and straps like a thumb break can still be used.
The bungies attach to loops designed for them and are not sewn in and are much stronger than having them sewed in.
The extra row of molle is nice as it allows a larger array of pouches to be able to be attached.
Basically I took what I liked and didnt like from a existing rig and customized it to what I wanted and would have wanted when I played Rambo for 18years.
There is a mesh pouch inside on the backside of the rig.
There is also a large internal pouch that is sealed by velcro the runs the length of the rig.
I tried to post pics but im PC illiterate and had issues when I tried.

Sweet Rig..... I do like the shock cords better. How often will he make a run or will he offer it individually. Thx

That does look like a good rig. I would like the individual pistol mag flaps, and I really prefer the bungee cords over elastic.

Looks like VERY nice work.
There's just something great about getting a custom-spec'd piece of gear, isn't there?
