Hawkeye,
I only can see two pics in this thread. The third (plate carrier) didn't seem to load. I saw the plate carrier on the photobucket site. It's nice as well.

Awesome, the top rig looks like I can fit about 4 sub sandwiches in those pouches and a couple ham sandwiches!!

All kidding aside looks good, so when do they go on sale at JRHEnterprises?

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye,
Nice looking rigs! From the looks they seem to hold one thirty rounder in each pocket, correct? Are these the ones you and Diz created? How much and where can they be had? Any other pics?

Yes, these are ours. These are our Minuteman rigs. We also have another design we're finalizing. Yeah, one 30 round mag in each pouch. Not for sale yet, as we are still working on getting them mass produced. Hopefully we'll have some production ones in hand by the end of July. Not 100% set on prices yet, but we are shooting for just < $100 MSRP.

Cannot see the back, but is there a way to attach a hydration bladder or is it best to just wear a hydration pack with it?

[Hawkeye]

Yes, there are provisions for attaching a hydro pouch that we'll be coming out with, as well as something like Tactical Tailors Removeable Operator pack, or, you can run a seperate hydro carrrier/pack. Thats one something we specifically had in mind, and one reason why we didnt put thicker padding on the shoulder straps. With the right geometry, its not needed, and it makes running a pack easier since you dont end up with 4 inches of padded shoulder straps stacked on top of each other.

Seems like you guys have put a lot of thought into what the Civilian Sheepdog needs for the AK platform. I cannot wait until you have more pics. Look forward to hearing more about all three carriers.

They look nice guys, In the top rig, are those packs maxpedition like? any insite as to the interior?

[Patriotic Sheepdog]

Any news on your rigs? Any new pics?

[Hawkeye]

Nothing new yet.... Its a slow process. Annoyingly slow....

...Annoyingly slow....

As with most good things, I'll keep checking every now and then.

For the AR, I run the SKD/Eagle rig. For an Ak, I think the US Palm rig is pretty hard to beat.

Just got a very good email today, related to our last emails.... ;) Hopefully, we'll be firing up the T-minus clock very soon. :D

[protus]

Well who do I need to call and get a fire started under someone, LOL. Can't wait, thanks for keeping me informed.

Wow !

After being led to this forum by the link in lowdown3's BCS AK Chest Rig youtube review, I was pleasantly surprised to find some valued and familiar people.

But, in particular, threads like this one are what led me to join yet another forum.

I value the thoughtful, rational and insightful thinking that has gone in to a thread (and subsequently products) like this.

The perspective of the 'prepared person' resonates strongly for me and the context and full acknowledgment that we are not, will not and should not be functioning like a military or law enforcement, is paramount.

Like how most all strength training is (unfortunately) based on bodybuilding and tries to apply this broadly to all other contexts. Most people don't know where to even get info that is not based on, or from, bodybuilding....basing our decisions/training/gear on info that is mostly applicable to a military or law enforcement will not meet our needs.

It is refreshing, to say the least. I am grateful.

Hawkeye knows this already, but I am very interested in the release of his (and Diz') products, especially the innovations found therein.
