Anyone have a BCM MSF chest rig??

[Jester1341]

I want opinions on it, even though I KNOW it's exactly what I want.

More over, I'd also like to know if there is anywhere else that sells them?? I don't know if I've ever seen them in stock. I've been waiting for an email to say they are in stock for as long as I can remember.

My other option is to look for something similar, which I can't seem to find. I like the Trim bush chest rig at SKD but I'd need to buy the back panel and the hydration unit just to make it similar to the BCM rig.

I would like to use it for training as well as range use and peace of mind that I can carry mags and bubble gum when SHTF

I've got one. Only available from BCM as far as I know. I like it a lot and have used it in two different EAG classes (basic carbine and Carbine 2) and shot a 3 gun with it; it performed very well. If you need to, you can open it in the front to go prone. (I didn't find I had to, though.) The vest is well constructed and basic. You can always add attachments to the PALS webbing. I run a CamelBak bladder in mine as well. I run some of the Esstac 556 KYWI (Kydex Wedge Inserts). They help to keep the pouch open when reinserting a mag.

If you have any other questions, let me know, and I'll try to help.

I've bought and received a condor chest rig. I like it accept it's almost too big for me, I have it adjusted all the way small to fit over a T-shirt, it fits better with mags inserted. There are things about it that I don't like; Velcro closure front, way long shoulder strap adjustment, hook and loop inner pockets,.... I have plans to sew on plastic clasps on the front closure and change/remove/sew new things on to my liking

I'm pleased enough with it specially since it was only about 60 bucks shipped.
