The Crye armor chassis can be, because all the parts are armor besides the plate. It very well may be in use right now. This one is just a plate carrier because all the other parts are 3a TM spec bb armor but real bullets go through them like butter. You could throw an actual ballistic plate in the pocket but it gives you no side armor protection. Unless you are some secret squirrel and can choose what you wear you are usually at the mercy of uncle sam who says IBA is the thing.

hey im looking to try and make a intercepter plate carrier with a hyda and a few pouches now the question i have is have anyone of you tried to make a plate carrier like this?

[Ganef]

Done dozens of armor and plate carriers and have done carriers specifically for the interceptor body armor and sapi plates.

There is however many inexpensive copies of the original carrier for the interceptor b a system.

Here under vests in the combat gear section:

Well, pretty much every airsoft website has a listing for gear and the sort. Check ebay as well.

Unless you have access to upholstery sewing machines, and have the right kind of nylon on hand, trying to make your own kit will cost you much more than any of those. There are things you can do for yourself and there are things you should just buy.

A quick question for you guys that do this a lot.... How well do the "repair fastex buckles" work? I have adjusters on the sides of my rig and I want squeeze buckles on it instead.

Those work fine, military uses them all the time. Much better than those adjusters.

[sethb7290]

which of these are better

interceptor M.O.L.L.E. vest or a ACU commando chest rig

[Ganef]

Wrong thread for asking that question.

This doesn't quite qualify as "making" it myself, but I wanted to modify my TT MAV by adding some fastex buckles to the two back straps for easy removal.  Where is a good place to get some good quality Fastex buckles? I need about 1" strap width.

I got mine from this guy http://myworld.ebay.com/emmado22/?_trksid=p3911.c0.m198

I have always seen that place, what type of place is that store exactly?

[Ganef]

It is an upholstery store but they carry a wide range of fabrics, webbing, velcro and buckles. They also stock military colors, thanks to my insistance and samples.

Huh, never knew that, I live right down street and always thought it was some sort of junk store, what with the ancient front sign and all.
