CPGear CF-Issue Tac-vest mod (Mpak and Triple-Mag Shingle)
 
Hey guys,
Thought I'd share this. It works with CF Immitation "Repro-vests" as well.

This is the "Remastered" Public Version:

i dunno i think the same capability could have been done with a WIMP a center adaptor and a single mag shingle you still get the 3 magazines carried in open top shingles but i dont think it would be as chunky

though by using the center adaptor you would probably have to find a new spot to position your knife

other then that i thought the video was well put together bravo Labo

also have you tried to draw mags from the two inner magazine pouches on the vest? it looks like the straps might get in the way

Not a bad video, but I could have done without the musical montage.

*On second though, it's your vid, you have your own way and style that's cool. Your talking points were good and the narrative flowed well.

I like it. Well done.
The overall montage make it enjoyable to watch. Maybe a little bit too much of "playing around" with the shots. The naration was serious and not pompus. I liked it.

As for the gear, for a soldier not wanting to change his whole setup, that look like a good idea. I wonder how stable the rig is.

And about the knife, I hear no one wear their knife like that on their vest anyway.

The last time I wore mine on the chest was for my DP1...

the knife is still on the vest. You can still get to it easily.

Awesome video, CPGear should be paying you commission!

horto July 9th, 2010 10:14

fantastic video dude. well done!

Thanks for all the positive comments, guys.. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.. especially from you CF members.

great video but watch the balance between the music and narrator audio, the music was a bit too high and the narator a bit too low, make the narrator read louder and with a bit more pronunciation.

other than that all good

Labo July 9th, 2010 17:21

Ahhh.. i knew that.. That's what was bugging me the other night. I could hear it. But, everyone else said it sounded ok. Should have gone with my gut feeling. On the next run, i guess.

Thanks Assault.

PS.. next review is on the CPGear M.O.F.O.C.R.
This makes me nervous.

Bowers July 9th, 2010 17:37

looking forward to it.

Labo, looking forward to the MoFOCR review, on the fence now about whether to pick one up for the desert.

I've got one in Cadpat AR... The Commander Kit. I've shown it around to some guys and got a lot of good feedback. What makes this rig so unique is the implementation of the Snap Dragon Buckles. I recently got a British Issue Tac-vest and I noticed they use a very similar, pull-release system on their mag-pouches. Instead of having to pinch the clip, like on our tac-vest... On the British vest, there is a locking tab which blocks a plastic sliding buckle, and can easily be released by giving it a firm jerk.

The Snap Dragon functions the same way, but you're going to have to pull a little harder to lift the latch that locks the buckle in place.

If you are thinking of using this on your tour, my advice is to get it soon, as you will need to familiarize yourself with it. Brand new, the buckles are stiff as hell, and you will need to give it a couple of pulls to break it in.

It's a nice rig though, man.

Haven't heard yet if I'm to go on the close out or not, but I'm also going to be getting one in MC for airsoft purposes.
