daughertym 15 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Looks like a Greek shopkeepers special. Gonna have to agree after much deliberation. The Newswear chestvest is a great design for the Saiga, but I have come to accept that the thin nylon construction will not stand up to much "on the ground in the mud" abuse. I will eat my crow now. I am going to take photos of the chestvest and attempt to have one made in heavy cordura. For now, back on Ebay... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpanzer 1,265 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I have a chest rig made by 7.62 tactical the holds 6 AK or three S12 mags in adjustable sized ammo pouches. If you are a glutton for punishment you could even put 6 ten round S12 mags into it: Might be selling this very soon. It was custom made and of heavy cordura and webbing and has the wide padded shoulder straps to help distribute a heavy load. Anyone interested? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daughertym 15 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Nice!!! Who is the maker, and are the pouches permanently attached? Are you saying that you can get two 10 round saiga mags. in each pouch? Any chance of a pic. with saiga mags? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpanzer 1,265 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I'll see if I can get a pic up for you tomorrow. The maker is 7.62 tactical, a small outfit based here in the USA. Yes, the pouches are permanently attached... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daughertym 15 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 No problems, bro. Get well and when you get the time, cool. No hurries. I have to sell the other chestvest first anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpanzer 1,265 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Big D, finally got the pics taken. Here we go: First pic shows each pouch with a 10 round S12 mag inserted. Next pic shows the same but with the flaps closed on the rig. Final pic shows each pouch with two 10 round mags inserted. (Far left has two 5 round mags, I only have four 10 rounders!) flaps won't close with two 10 rounders inserted, but with them folded back the mags are snug enough in the pouch where they wont wobble around. Interested? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daughertym 15 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Dern-it!!! Gonna have to pass. If there was a fourth pouch as a single mag, I would take it. I too have four 10's and two 5's, but want to be able to close the pouches on a total of six (or four). Get what you can for it. I do appreciate the offer! I might have to give them a call and see what they would make up. Thanks anyway, and Merry Christmas! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theorangeplanet 968 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Since BigD is passing I'd be interesting in knowing what you're asking for it... looks like it'd fit my needs pretty well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpanzer 1,265 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Risky, it's listed on the WTS board here. I'm asking $65 shipped.This rig is made in the USA and top notch quality. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/72932-762-tactical-saigaak-gunfighter-chest-rig/ You can't buy the same rig with all the options from 7.62 Tactical for that price...

daughertym 15 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I emailed Colin at 762 Tactical about extending the flaps for the Saiga mags. He said he could for a few dollars more. Might want to check out his sight. Gonna have one on order soon!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should let him know that if he makes that an option on the page, he's pretty much guaranteed to make tones of money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpanzer 1,265 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Colin does good work. I sold my rig on another board, and rolled that money back to him for his new MOLLE compatible AK pouches since I'm going to a plate carrier. I looked everywhere for a decent AK mag pouch, and have tried several different types, but couldn't find anything better than 7.62 Tactical. Glad you guys are sending him your business...

daughertym 15 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Yeah, Risky that was what I told him and he upgraded his sight immediately with the mods for the Saiga crowd. I put out some KUDOS to you too Panzer for pointing me his way. I just posted my Newswear Chestvest on Ebay and as soon as it sells, I'm buying his rig with the extended flaps!
