 So I'd just like to say before we get started that air 15s are vastly superior to ak is just not even close not even by a mile Hey, everyone Dylan Schumacher citadel defense and today we're gonna talk about my ak battle rig So for this one, I did something a little bit different this one I went with a British style System and here's what I mean. So here. I just have a gatson dynamics battle belt, right? It's just got two rows of molly Plastic buckle up front if I were to get this belt again, I would probably get the cobra buckle not the plastic buckle I've actually lost this buckle in transport once so now I make sure it's always Clipped in so I don't lose it because it hasn't threaded and then this particular one the nylon is just so stiff You can't really tighten it while you're wearing it You kind of have to set it and then put it on not only annoying, but it is what it is then I got some slow profile Suspenders from ATS tactical and I attach these to the system when I did that I found out that it's very helpful to use a little bit of bungee shock cord there Which you should be able to see that a little bit of shock cord on the front of these loops So that it gives it a little bit of flex it lets it flex to you a little bit better So I would recommend that for suspender setups But the nice part is is that these suspenders I can run under plates So what I will do is I will put this rig on and then I will run slick plates over it And all of the weight then is carried around your hips So it's actually a lot lighter and a lot more comfortable for carrying weight Then carrying it like on a traditional chest rig where it's going to be sitting right in front of you So I like that. I've run this a couple times now and I really like how this rig rides I can't believe how comfortable it is Given the amount of weight that it carries So I know it's British style, but I did end up putting a holster on here because you got to have a pistol This is just a t-rex arms holster for my Glock 19 And then it has the QLS system on here Which is a fantastic system that I would recommend allows me to switch out holsters, which is really nice Over here. I have a cold steel knife. I believe this is the SRK now right now I just have this on the belt loop kind of attachment in there I might eventually take this off and then just tie it with some paracord in here into the Mali So it sits a little higher, but I didn't want it to interfere with my pistol draw So that's why it's sitting there right now. It's mostly there for utility. It's not really a quick draw given where it's located I just kind of stuffed it in there. I usually will carry a liter of water on this rig So this is more of a field rig You know versus kind of a direct action kind of rig We're not worried about water and stuff like that Well, I wanted to carry at least a water a liter of water on me So this is a water bottle holder for like an algae or whatever I will probably end up putting two liters of water on this rig at some point, but right now. I've just got one I Had this huge leftover dump pouch here on the back From a different rig that didn't work out So I ended up putting it back here and I ended up running a dump pouch in there I just keep a full mag for what's going to go in the rifle when I pick the rifle up and then I keep my Shooting gloves that just lives in there. This is just an extra utility pouch Right now. I just carry another tourniquet in there. I Want to have at least two tourniquets on the rig Up here. I did zip tie in another buckle so that if I ever lose a buckle again I have replacement at my whole day of training isn't shot Coming around to here. So I have two double AK pouches. These are from tactical Taylor I would not recommend these pouches Primarily because I bought them to hold three AR mags. That's what they advertised to be able to do. They can't do that very well Not at all. That's in any way usable. So would not recommend them for that as AK pouches though. They work great They do have this nice little bungee shock cord here on the side so you can tighten it up You know if you were to take a mag out and if you were able to you can just pull this tighten that up And that's gonna retain that mag a little bit better for you to carry in there as well in general I try to re-index my magazines back into the pouches the dump pouches just for utility slash other stuff I don't want to go to my dump pouch for partial mags. I want to keep all mags with bullets in the actual mag pouches Going around further here is my speed reload Mag so that if my rifle runs empty which on an AK as you know, there's no last round bolt hold open So you're potentially a little bit more likely to get there, but you don't necessarily know when you're out of bullets So, you know having a speed reload mag pouch there is helpful. This is just a taco pouch from high-speed gear And then here I just have a double pistol pouch to feed that pistol and this is from These are a 500 armor pouches. I think these are really affordable like 10-12 bucks But these are great little pouches This is just a mishmash of gear that I had lying around that I was gonna use for different things I was able to combine it into a successful AK rig But I will say that the magic with this rig and the magic with the British system is that they run it off Suspenders and running it off suspenders and carrying all of your weight around your hips and not on your chest rig Or your plates makes a difference. It makes it a lot more Affordable to be able to run. There's not an iFAC on this kit as you'll notice That's because I primarily carry my iFAC in my left cargo pocket So I don't keep one on this particular rig because when I run it I run an iFAC in my left cargo pocket if you haven't tried out the British system I mean even if you wanted to run it for an AR or something like that. I would recommend it to you I really really like it. I think I'm gonna end up building an AR rig like this I could even use this one if I really wanted But I'll probably end up building an AR specific rig like this because I like being able to carry that weight around my hips Particularly for like field infantry work Where are you know, you're gonna be out at a longer time Tromping through the woods or whatever this rig is nice because it allows me to wear plates or not wear plates. I Still can retain all of my essential fighting equipment and it rides really nice And when you're running around and doing stuff, it's just a lot more comfortable Running the weight here all on the belt supported by suspenders I would not recommend running it on the belt with no suspenders When you get the suspenders and the belt combo it rides extremely comfortable. It's the most comfortable rig I've owned It's the most comfortable way. I've run my kit to date. So we'd highly recommend experimenting with that if you have it That's it. That's my AK fighting rig do brave deeds and endure
