Mini/Small chest rigs for 3x 7.62 AK mags?

[Asomodai]

Sorry gents. My mind was made up and purchase has been made. I went with the Ops/UR Tactical rig. It had all of the right specs, Low profile, I prefer Velcro retention and it was in stock ready to ship in time for the weekend . 

Spot on, I've had dozens of rigs (still got too many lol) but I came to realise the mle was probably the most versatile, the base rig was feather light but better made than the kit I actually wore when I served, & comfortable is an understatement, once wore one for 72ish hours straight, fully loaded plus at times with a full 120 litre bergan over the top, straps over straps so to speak, & I didn't have one ache or rub from it (bearing in mind that then I was about 46, & everything usually hurts lol) 

Literally bought a second to dye for my black loadouts, & whenever peeps ask about rig recommendations, this is what I proffer, but too often it's not gucci or trendy enough for the "operators" on here ?(obviously don't mean the you Rob?) 

Christ, I am not Gucci op8er. But I do prefer a nice lightweight rig.

I know your not mate, & I'm 100% in agreement on lightweight rigs, the lighter the better, in fact to that end I run so many options, wee man bags/belt platforms/bandoliers etc, even picked up a tiny tactical tailor fanny pack recently, just got to figure out how to get me fanny in it ?

Cheap as chips, excellent quality & amazingly light & comfy, just add whatever pouches you need at the time. 

The bulle pouches are also very good quality & well priced. 

Bought one of these on the back of this recommendation and I have to say I'm v. impressed so far- obviously I'll need to do a game day in it to see for sure, but it feels like the perfect compromise between battle belt and chest rig.

There's enough inbuilt storage that I don't really need to have a ton of pouches hanging off it either.

I had one of those when I first started airsofting, absolutely gutted I sold it because it was a really great and simple bit of kit! And doesn’t break the bank either!

Just done a full game day in this rig and it's bloody SUPERB. Comfortable from start to finish. No rubbing or chafing.

Only complaint is that it can be a bit tricky getting mags back in the pouches when you've got it on, but that's why I have a dump pouch.

Going to sell off all my other rigs and try and track one down in black (or dye a green one).

Is the issue the pouches behind the cumberband ? 

I never use mine(I'd probably only use them as extra space if I was running a shit load of realcaps), I can see they'd be an issue, probably the only weak spot on the rig, I just mount shingles on the face.

Wot??

Yeah those ones, I'm happy to use them as it's quite comfortable and I'm liking how streamlined the rig is without loads of pouches hanging off it, though I may try a few different setups.

You all seem to have gone doodah over that rig, but meanwhile mine arrived and I used it. It's pretty good!

You might find fitting magpuls on your mags improves the access ?

Nah getting them out is easy, it's just a fiddle getting them back in. Also I run dirty hi-caps...

#MeToo, most of the time, nuff room in magpuls to get your finger to the winding wheel, even with gloves on.
