    School me on Load Bearing / MOLLE vests

    I agree on the battle belt. I've run one for a couple of years now and just recently set up a plate carrier. I'm keeping the PC pretty slick, with a mag shingle on the front and a small hydration pouch on the rear. Everything else rides on the belt. It's set up with 2x pistol and rifle speed...

    School me on Load Bearing / MOLLE vests

    I scrolled through the pictures of that vest and all it says is that it has an open mesh pocket. The vagueness of the description doesn't make me think it was designed for hydro compatibility specifically in mind. The Esstac rigs are nice, but can be really expensive once you piece together...

    Something like this with a dedicated hydration pouch would carry well and distribute weight comfortably. http://www.skdtac.com/Esstac-Padded-Harness-Boar-Series-Chest-Rigs-p/ess.523.htm

    School me on Load Bearing / MOLLE vests

    10-4. I just took a closer look at that one. It has a large open mesh back, which will allow you to put almost anything inside of it. But I'd recommend something that will hold a hydro pouch a little more securely. Does it have a loop or something that you could actually hook the bladder to? If...

    School me on Load Bearing / MOLLE vests

    Just my opinion, but I'd skip the vest styles and focus on a chest rig of some sort. Earlier, someone mentioned the BGF rack minus and that's a good option. I'd also take a close look at the various chest rigs available from SKD Tactical. They've got a lot of brands available, from Eagle...

    Post your ARs (we know you have them)

    Nice. I really liked that barrel. If I recall, it was shooting some nice groups for you too. [emoji6]

    Good points. The round certainly met the original design criteria. It was designed for go-fast doorkickers to shoot smelly, bearded men in the face and to do it quietly if necessary. I don't really have a need for that capability. I had considered it's usefulness as a hunting Caliber, but if I'm...

    I wondered the same thing. However, I installed the original barrel and removed it. It was installed at 35 ft lbs per the rail makers specs. It also removed easily, so at no time had any excessive torque been applied to the barrel extension via the RR. If the barrel extension had been installed...

    I've got my own opinions on the utility of 300blk or lack thereof, but I'm curious what you didn't like about it.

    Looking for powder?

    I know, I know. Dillon is certainly the industry leader. I'm just not sure I want to learn on a progressive. Good to know. I have a neighbor that reloads on a Lee. My father recently purchased a Hornady progressive and it seems pretty nice, but he hasn't set it up yet. First and foremost, I...

    @NWS I saw a thread from a while back where you said you had a Radical Firearms upper. Still have it? How's it holding up?

    Looking for powder?

    @handloader and @freedom what type of press are you guys using? I'm considering a Lee turret press.

    @handloader I'll definitely take you up on that!
