Brandon Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Being a Massive Chest Rig fan these are some of my commercial & issue ones... Arkits Arktis Arktis Arktis Copy Arktis Rig Magro Comkit Issue PLCE Rig & with a late 80s kit set-up... Top of the Range Rig... Normally I stick to Brit Kit when it comes to Chest Rigs but I have this Russian 'Splav' made M23 Pioneer Chest Rig & this SA rig too... & some others too including ones which I had custom made... One of the latest ones I had custom made based on the rigs seen in use with the SBS & The Royal Marine Mountain & Arctic Warfare Cadre back in the 80s... BlackDragon, Monty and Albiscuit 3

chaoticelements Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 That's awesome, man. What attracted you to these chest rigs? What made you start wanting to collect them? Brandon 1
Brandon Posted March 7, 2016 Author Posted March 7, 2016 Cheers guys. Well, Im a huge fan of Old School British kit so anything related to that attracts my interest. But Id say I first really got interested in them from learning about the rare types used almost exclusively with more 'specialist units' back in the Falklands & such, which I had custom made... As various chest rigs came on the scene in the late 80s/90s & were very popular in places such as Northern Ireland it just made sense to source as many as possible to add to the collection & it gave me more loadout options to use with my L85A1. I particularly like sourcing & using some of the lesser seen/known types such as this 'Comkit' Rig... Also, I tend to find them more practical & functional to use for gaming over a full belt kit. Although, saying that, I do still use 44/58 Pattern, PLCE & such just depending on the look/era im going for on game day.
