Rig pic
Front of SOTECH Hellcat MKI with added bib, Internal holster module, and padded shoulder harness/hydration pouch.
Pouches (l to r): Maxpedition mini-rolly poly (militarymoron design), EGL PLP, 2 Paralcete double M4 mag pouches, EGL FUGLY (modded by eggroll to include fastex buckles), LBT radio pouch, and Paraclete Quad M9 magazine pouch (on bib).
I don't know if it's the lighting but the rig is actually OD.

Haven't had the chance to try it yet (just got it set up yesterday)....I've got drill next weekend and will be putting on to fit it right and I'll let you know.

Yeah, just bit over that...some of the stuff came from trades and/or clearance (the 'clete M4 pouches specifically). Fact is, I don't really want to add it all up.....I may give myself a heart attack  . But given the modularity of it and the different options of wear (full set up, just Hellcat, Hellcat w/bib, etc.) it should be in service for a LONG time, so long term I feel it's a good value.....well of course, as long as I can curb the "gear-addiction". lol!

It never ends! There is always something in the works that makes your old kit seem obsolete as a mofo!

Ain't that the truth? But I'm going to exert some self-discipline  . Besides, "the look" from HH6 when a new package arrives is getting a bit scary....

Doesn't the Hellcat he is using hold six internally?

yep he can hold 10.
That seems to be the best bet with any of the hellcat setups. The 6 internals and 4 on the outside I like to add a redimag or magcinch so that I have an even 12 at the ready. Another 6 normal mags on the ruck and 2 mags of all tracer. But hey I dont have to hump it much, the Helo does the humping for me.

That's because they know when it's cold, wet, or windy in the field there's few things better than standing behind an M1A1's exhaust getting nice and toasty! ; ).

Never seen an M-1 in the field, just in the motor pool.
As an SF guy, I have a better chance of warming up behind a T-72 than an M-1.

TR Sir,
Like I've mentioned before you are more than welcome to visit when you're in the Las Vegas area.....all my tanks are back in preparation for Gunnery. Heck my readiness NCO just gave a bunch of rides/driving time to some Air Force guys.
