+GumboGalahad Ah, the early 90's. That's when I bought my 2 AKMs ( Chinese MAK 90 and Romanian Romak, before the Clinton BS on imported Chinese weapons ) and my Norinco SKS copy. AKs were inexpensive then, so were old WW2 bolt actions. I can see why the AKs and SKS are expensive now ( especially with Biden ), but why are the WW2 bolt actions getting expensive now? I think my AKs were a couple hundred each ( used, arsenal rebuilds ) and the SKS was $150 or so, with some ammo in the deal.
@Blue Savage Everything was a lot less restrictive and regulated in those days, from guns to controlled, prescription meds ( Drs actually took a patient's word for it when you said "I need something stronger at a higher dosage for my chronic pain", for example ). Things like guns, ammo, mags, chest rigs, tac vests, etc... were much cheaper as well, and in greater supply at more places. It was a lot better than nowadays, that's for sure
Thank you for speaking the truth and showing options for the normal person. Thank you for not whoring out your channel by constantly shoving expensive products down our throats that none of us can afford. Keep it up brother.
I bought the 3 pouch Chicom rig a few years ago. I use it all the time for the local tactical shooting competition. It was $12 from Amazon and gets the job done. I also have a DCU pattern FLC with pouches that I bought from Amazon for $12 and $40 in pouches,, but I like the Chicom rig better. I also did the buckle mod also as tying the thing behind your back is a pain.
I have several 63's, with 3 pouches, and one with 4. I've found that they will hold 2 aluminum/military type mags each, VERY tight with the flaps down.And, the smaller pouches will hold 3, 20 round boxes. As far as medical, I'm an "Old Corpsman", former EMT, and retired RN. I've got medical equipment all over me, lol!! I too, have tried several different rigs, and have found the 63 to be the best of all. You and I have similar trains of thought, and I really enjoy your u tube channel. Thanks for what you do. Carry on.
I bought one of these to use as an M14 rig and it's great! The mags fit great after you break it in with some light use; not too tight or too loose. It's a very tough fabric and the stitching is super strong. To anyone wondering; the 2 outside pouches will fit an M14 mag but won't quite close with the 20 rounders. The 5 center pouches close perfectly. The straps on the back are very adjustable; I'm 6'2" and 190 lbs and I can wear the rig over just a T-shirt or over winter clothing.
I was just looking at these on ebay last night. My AK mags don't fit my AR pouches, and this might be a good way to have a whole separate rig set up and ready. Thanks Reid Henrichs, God Bless America, Liberty or Death
Dang, Reid. Good ideas. Thanks for doing these "on a budget" rigs. You're experience is saving me a ton of cash. This isn't a fashion show. Go with what's proven over and over through history. It indeed repeats it's self. Thanks again.
The peace symbol is really a broken cross, they're saying you'll get your peace when Christianity is dead, and it will be many things but peaceful is not one of them. By the way, duality is for cock sucking freemasons, and those luciferian asshole are the problem.
@@seatednorth8190 actually, the Peace Symbol is a combination of the semaphore config for the letters "N" and "D", which stood for Nuclear Disarmament.
I can't wait to come and train with you guys at valor ridge. I like the fact that there is no cocky ego just helpful information. See you on the ridge soon hopefully.
Reid, can you please do a video and break down all the medical stuff you carry and explain what it is? I've noticed that on every one of your videos you have some sort of medical device on everything you plan to put on your person. I'm starting to think that you know something and you should be sharing. Tell PN to pick up her socks. :)
great rig, same one i have run for the last 14 years. Everyone at class makes fun of it in the being, after a day or two everyone wants to know where i got it. only rig to never fail on me....Good stuff Reid, Thank you!
I am so happy you started your own channel. Quality non elitist content. I hope to come out to Valor Ridge and learn from you in person. Thank you for your work.
Thanks Reid Henrichs got one of these after watching this video and it's great. Now I need to come take a class with you guys and get some use out of it.
Thanks Reid! Just received my type 63, $12.99 and free shipping from ebay. It had some small patches of light mold, ran it through the washer and it's good to go! Greatly appreciate all the video's and insightful/helpful information.
Reid, I like your no-nonsense practical approach to equipment selection. Also, you emphasize the medical side of the equation. As my SF son has told me many times, it doesn’t matter how many enemy you kill if you can’t save one of your brothers that’s bleeding out.
I appreciate the cost-savings effort that you are trying to provide to your audience - because it seems that EVERYTHING costs an arm and a leg these days. I also know that kit is like your weapon - there are so many setups and every single bit of it is personal. There are ways that I set up my AR that others may not and that's all good. But one of the most important lessons I've learned - from my mentors, (SOCM's) was that a chest rig is not just a fancy ammo carrier. It's a life support system. Meaning what you have on your shoulders and chest needs to do A LOT more than just supply you with ammo. It needs to be able to support you in a variety of circumstances and in a variety of ways. When I build a chest rig, adaptability and flexibility are the guiding principles, that are overarched by "This is a Life Support System" mantra. For example, I use pouches that can be used for 5.56, 7.62, an ifak, even a holster for my Glock. I want my chest rig to provide the ability for comms; the ability to self-treat my wounds, or the wounds of another, so quick access to multiple TQ's; the ability to feed myself; the ability to secure a threat; the ability to store a map or nav aids; markers, notepad, chem lights, etc. I just struggle with not having any kinda TQ, ifak, or comms. Also it seems that it would be hard to replace a mag in the vest. While in the military we had a virtual endless supply of mags, most of us in a SHTF situations as civilians do not have an endless supply of mags. That said, I'm going to TRY to shove my mag in a pouch or dump bag. The utilitarian beauty of the PALS system is NOT so I can cover every square inch of vest with ammo pouches, (I've seen a guy secure 14 double ammo pouches to his PC). The utilitarian beauty of PALS is that I can quickly and painlessly adapt my kit to support different missions. Having an ammo vest really restricts you from being to adapt to mission parameters, and adapt to that FUBAR guy Murphy and his laws that interject every well planned op. I appreciate what you're doing. But I just have a very different take on what a chest rig is designed or purposed to do. These opinions are my own and mine only. Well also the opinions of my mentors..
Your link was out of stock, but i found another for 22$.Thanks for the tip!I have seen these but didnt want to throw away even 20$ on crap.Great service your doing for us out here.Thanks again!
great video Reid I have used one for a long time when I was paintballing as a kid and I still have the same one now using it for the AK and AR mags its now 15 years old and still holding up. I got it at a surplus store for $10.00 cant beat that
Reid is awesome. Not trying to sell the most expensive new fad. He’s actually serious about helping men be able to defend their families and themselves. Most people can’t afford to spend 3000 dollars on a rifle and several thousands on gear. I wish all American men were like him. They used to be. That’s why America was blessed by God. Good times make weak men. We are about to see rough times.
Im sold great info u just keep em coming im gonna have to come find out if my ar10 will make it im a hard head and I've gotta know for sure you seem to be the most down to earth, genuine, informative, person on youtube
Awesome content man! I'm a bondsman in NC and my coworkers always give me shit about how I carry when we suit up. I appendix carry when I'm out and about and that's the draw I practice. When we go full goon the I throw on the plate carrier and tuck my shirt in but keep my handgun in the same spot because THAT'S THE DRAW I PRACTICE!
I bought one of these because of this video. $11 shipped from China. Got it put it on. Amazingly comfortable. I have one suggestion. Esstac has these pouches system called KYWI. they have kydex inserts for them. I ordered the tall insert. Stuck it in one of the pouches on my type 63 rig. Fits perfectly. Cut the flaps off. Best upgrade for this rig. Love it. Try it out.
Hey Reid. New to the page and understand your move (Didn't know about it till today. A little behind the curve.) and stand to do your own thing. Great info here considering I have one of these ammo carriers for my SKS. Now I will get another one for my AR stuff. Great Stuff. Keep up the good work.
This is a fine piece of gear for a very inexpensive price. I have a couple of molle gear belts for my AR, and I like them, so I was going to set up one more for the AK. This rig is a much less expensive, and high quality piece of rig that is absolutely compatible with my AK mags, and the side pouches are fine for a couple of double stack pistol mags. Just like you stated, stick those AK mags in there, pull the top flap over to the side and button to the wooden dowel. Makes a secure and snug pouch for the AK mags. Thanks for the video, Reid. May God be with our blessed country forever.
Those waterproof pouches on the sides were intended for holding an cleaning/maintenance kit. They can hold three 10 round stripper clips for the SKS but are harder to reach. A basic med kit I think is a better idea. These chest rigs were meant to allow a soldier to carry an assload of ammo in relative comfort and do really inexpensivly. What's not to love?
I pulled my old one out of 25 year old storage and started putting AR mags in it today because of this video. My metal mags fit easy but my fatter plastic mags took a lot of stretching to fit. I don't need the bamboo dowel because they are too fat. I will use it when I take your Rifleman I class if you offer it in summer 2019.
you can attach bungee cords to the loops so you can put it over the mags and close it with the bamboo buttons to keep them tight in your rig for every situation
Thanks for this. I appreciate the tips and advice you have. Just ordered a few of these from Amazon after seeing this video for $14.95 + $5 shipping (not eligible for Prime) price as of 8.12.15. GO VOLS!
I use one for my M1A the only change I felt I needed was to fill the bottom of the mag pouches with some foam because my mags would ride low in the pouch and getting them out was a bit of a chore easy solution though can't beat the price of this rig
I was doing some experimenting with mine, trying to see if I could really turn it into a first rate setup. Love the versatility since I own an AR, an AK74, an AK47 and just got a 5.56 AK. Anyways, it's possible to attach a MOLLE compatible pouch to the waist or shoulder strap. You can use tape or a safety pin to make sure it stays put. Doing this you can have a dedicated IFAK rather than trying to cram medical into the side utility pouches or carrying a separate one on your body.
I have several of those rigs, 3 and 4 pouches. I've found that the mag pouches will hold 2 AR mags each, and the 2 smaller pouches will hold 3, 20rd boxes of AK/AR rds. Double the ammo, and the rig handles the weight well. The boxes on the ends seem to balance the rig out when you start pulling the mags out when you get into the shit. I was a Navy Corpsman, so I got used to carrying a pretty comprehensive medical kit aside from the individual kit ( coupla battle dressings and the cellophane wrapper from a pack of cig's for a chest seal, heh heh) on the back of my web gear belt. Anyway, that's my two cents. Really enjoy your fb page. Carry on.
I like the idea of one rig per weapon. Create a go to bag for each one and store them together. However I would still utilize my battle belt as it carries my FAK and other items. For instance it carries my original issue canteen from the 70's. It may be old, like me, but it still serves its purpose.
Thank you! I like down to earth, real deal, gear & discussion. Thats what we all need unless youre a greet Beret, special operations ( which 99% of us are not) This is what we need. K.I.S.S.
Mine came absolutely covered in mold, after a run through the washing machine it was good as new. It does need to be stretched out a bit, both in the pouches and the flaps, but after some wear it works exactly as you need.

I remember when those Chi-Com chest bandoliers came with an SKS that you could buy for $89. Those were the days.
I bought a few back in the day, came with i think 200 rnds on stripper clips in the bandoleer..

still getting it done
Reid, You must have caused a rush on AMAZON. Sold out by the time I checked the link.
I bought the 3 pouch Chicom rig a few years ago. I use it all the time for the local tactical shooting competition. It was $12 from Amazon and gets the job done. I also have a DCU pattern FLC with pouches that I bought from Amazon for $12 and $40 in pouches,, but I like the Chicom rig better. I also did the buckle mod also as tying the thing behind your back is a pain.
I’m gonna like this comment 300 times... not because I’m in the know but because I wanna be a nut rider like everyone else..
Once again, Reid, a solid review made with solid real common sense.
I have several 63's, with 3 pouches, and one with 4. I've found that they will hold 2 aluminum/military type mags each, VERY tight with the flaps down.And, the smaller pouches will hold 3, 20 round boxes.

"Equal and distributing justice. Valor Ridge." I want that on a t-shirt.
The thing I like about Reid is that he shows you how to get the job done really cheap and effectively. Great video man.
I bought one of these to use as an M14 rig and it's great! The mags fit great after you break it in with some light use; not too tight or too loose.

Finally a normal review of practical gear. So getting over the latest and greatest what ever is new and "IN" ...
Thanks for posting this Reid !!

Glad to see you with your own channel Reid! Thanks for the no nonsense videos!
So the peace symbol is a statement about the duality of man?
exactly!
What's this!? Some kind of a sick joke?
The peace symbol is really a broken cross, they're saying you'll get your peace when Christianity is dead, and it will be many things but peaceful is not one of them. By the way, duality is for cock sucking freemasons, and those luciferian asshole are the problem.
Gotta love full metal jacket👍

"Mortgage payment chest rig." Lol! Nice one!
I soon as I heard inclusion and rainbow coalition, I subscribed. Funny man.
Loving this series of videos Reid, thank you.
Been needing a rig for my mags but had no idea what to get, now I know! Thank you Reed
Thanks Reid Henrichs for finding just what I was looking for.
Reid, can you please do a video and break down all the medical stuff you carry and explain what it is? I've noticed that on every one of your videos you have some sort of medical device on everything you plan to put on your person. I'm starting to think that you know something and you should be sharing. Tell PN to pick up her socks. :)
For everyone's information, this will hold two AK or AR mags per pouch, but it needs to be broken in a bit.
I ordered two Type 63 rigs after watching this video. Reid is right on. These rigs are comfortable, durable, and versatile. Thank You for the info
The exact one I have. As you said, fits AR and AK magazines great. Very light, low profile, and comfortable. Simple and it works.
Am I the only one who thought he dressed up in traditional Alps clothing with that white shirt and green suspender showing at 0:00? LOL
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Reid! God Bless
I'm always on the hunt for reliable and affordable gear. Thanks Reid!

Excellent! Thank you, Reid!

excellent job Ried, thanks
Loving it Reid great video
The go-to chest rig for any insurgent on a budget.
I just got one of these. Love it!
Hey Reid. New to the page and understand your move (Didn't know about it till today. A little behind the curve.) and stand to do your own thing. Great info here considering I have one of these ammo carriers for my SKS. Now I will get another one for my AR stuff. Great Stuff. Keep up the good work.
Solid advice. Thanks for another great instructional video brother.
Thanks for the advice, just ordered the same chest rig today.
I picked up one at a local military show for $5.00. It also accepts the 20 round M1 carbine magazines.
Thanks for confirming my thoughts on this rig.
Glad you cleaned up your room before filming... LOL just messin with you buddy. Love the videos.
Love the info you put out.

REID YOUR THE BEST !!!!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GOOD SHEPARD !!!!
GREAT CHANNEL. !!!
Thanks. Great video. Gonna pick up a couple of these.
Reid I like your videos because you are practical and not just pushing expensive products. You don't have to be cool to be prepared!!!
just picked one up thank you seems to work perfictlly fine for me!
Thanks for the great surplus chest rig info. I just received my type 81 Chest rig that has 4 AK mag pouches and only paid $20.
Thanks for the tip! Bought one and a Sling that I needed. :)
I pulled my old one out of 25 year old storage and started putting AR mags in it today because of this video. My metal mags fit easy but my fatter plastic mags took a lot of stretching to fit. I don't need the bamboo dowel because they are too fat. I will use it when I take your Rifleman I class if you offer it in summer 2019.
Awesome video!
you can attach bungee cords to the loops so you can put it over the mags and close it with the bamboo buttons to keep them tight in your rig for every situation
huge help Reid..thanks.
Thanks for this. I appreciate the tips and advice you have. Just ordered a few of these from Amazon after seeing this video for $14.95 + $5 shipping (not eligible for Prime) price as of 8.12.15.
GO VOLS!
For $20 I think I would just buy a separate rig for each rifle. Just pick it up grab and go
Ive never thought about wearing one of those Over a plate carrier,, Hmmm
Thanx Man, Ill give it a try!
I just got mine in the mail!! It's phenomenal!!!
I use one for my M1A the only change I felt I needed was to fill the bottom of the mag pouches with some foam because my mags would ride low in the pouch and getting them out was a bit of a chore easy solution though can't beat the price of this rig
thank you so much reid! mine just got here and it works!
Just got the chest rig in the mail today and it’s badass.
I was doing some experimenting with mine, trying to see if I could really turn it into a first rate setup. Love the versatility since I own an AR, an AK74, an AK47 and just got a 5.56 AK. Anyways, it's possible to attach a MOLLE compatible pouch to the waist or shoulder strap. You can use tape or a safety pin to make sure it stays put. Doing this you can have a dedicated IFAK rather than trying to cram medical into the side utility pouches or carrying a separate one on your body.
Great video on keeping it simple. Also, I want that pile of ((10)) mags!!
The type 56 10-pouch rigs work well also. I know you can fit 8 loaded AR magazines in it. Very comfortable.
I have several of those rigs, 3 and 4 pouches. I've found that the mag pouches will hold 2 AR mags each, and the 2 smaller pouches will hold 3, 20rd boxes of AK/AR rds. Double the ammo, and the rig handles the weight well. The boxes on the ends seem to balance the rig out when you start pulling the mags out when you get into the shit. I was a Navy Corpsman, so I got used to carrying a pretty comprehensive medical kit aside from the individual kit ( coupla battle dressings and the cellophane wrapper from a pack of cig's for a chest seal, heh heh) on the back of my web gear belt. Anyway, that's my two cents. Really enjoy your fb page. Carry on.
Another great video Reid, do you think you could make a updated minuteman video?
Ive got 2 of those chicomm rigs, Hell I think one of them was free!
I just have them loaded w/ 10 rnd clips
I may toss a few mags in & see what fits
I'm going to have to get two or three of these. I found that on Ebay you can get these for around $12 SHIPPED.
what belt is that?
Keeping it streamline and old school! Just ordered mine.
I like the idea of one rig per weapon.
Create a go to bag for each one and store them together.
However I would still utilize my battle belt as it carries my FAK and other items. For instance it carries my original issue canteen from the 70's. It may be old, like me, but it still serves its purpose.
Thank you!
I like down to earth, real deal, gear & discussion.
Thats what we all need unless youre a greet Beret, special operations ( which 99% of us are not)
This is what we need.
K.I.S.S.
Thanks Reid! I'm glad to see a firearms instructor who doesn't double as a mall ninja. Keep it simple.
Mine came absolutely covered in mold, after a run through the washing machine it was good as new. It does need to be stretched out a bit, both in the pouches and the flaps, but after some wear it works exactly as you need.
Does this mean I can have all your SOE gear
My twin brother went to your class on Valley Ridge with a VZ 58, and a chi-com chest rig also.
liked this video alot Reid I think if you turn more of this kind of useful stuff out you will do well man...
