 Thanks

That one doesn't come with the "4" 20 rd mags though.
I do think the set you linked does look more robust.

Just bought the last 2 new dark green belt & suspender sets from Northridge. They still have a few new light green sets. All of them have suspenders. They had a new BAR belt mixed in there until I saw it....

uses a small crap ruck, you can gut one for the hooks and use a modified Alice instead, carries quite well.
see http://www.falfiles.com/forums/showt...03#post1585803 they are inexpensive if you look hard enough. http://cgi.ebay.com/M-58-British-Web...QQcmdZViewItem

if you want to mod that for an alice cut the two top hooks of the ruck and attach them to the top straps on the alice, it will hook right in.

ok maybe I'm not adjusting it right. I have the M-58 Milpack assembled but the backpack sits itself upon the two fanny packs and looks as if backpack should sit itself higher on the suspenders. Thus, because the backpack sits upon the two fanny packs, the fanny packs loaded with mags, go from the normal position to an almost veritcle position and the mags start to fall out of the packs.
Take for instance the image here, those two fanny packs get depressed by the huge rucksack to the point where shit inside of it falls out to the ground. Did I do something wrong here? |

adjust the pack straps so it rides higher on your shoulders.
also, make sure your hooking them into the rings way down on the front of the web harness straps. the hook circled in red goes down the front of the web harness strap, under the blue marked section and hooks to the blue circled ring.  properly adjusted it should sit almost on your neck it takes the load off your back and puts it on your hips and shoulders. to mod for an alice cut those hooks off the pack and attach them to an alice, thread through the web harness like normal then cut the bottoms hooks off and attach them to the bottom of the alice. gives you much more space.

I have two sets of the M-58 gear. Was wondering, will the mag pouches hold the curved 30rd mags that DSA sells? If so, I have something else to put on my "need" list

that "curved 30" is the standard style for the L1A1, same style the gear was designed for.
they should fit just fine.
