Good for a PLA or NVA loadout which you can get from Begadi... "The timeless classic! All modern chestrigs / recon harnesses hail from the chicom and its derivates. Based on asian design, this rig was available in many designs, for AK/SKS, with or or without holder for 'potato mashers' or canteen/bayonett frogs. One thing all chicoms had in common was their simplicity in design and their rugged quality.
Nearly all chicoms were fight-load-carriers only, with no space' wasted' for existence-load.
Our version was by far the most common and is still used all over the world. Its chambered for 3 AK mags and 4 RGO grenades, but takes also M4 or MP5 mags. Due its design, G36 mags wont fit, unfortunatly. The rig is made from heavy cotton-duck canvas and leather, with metal clips and wooden (bamboo) buttons for the pouches.
The rig is a 1:1 version of the classic, including choice of material, design, style of seams, etc. The only thing different from the (used) originals are the lack of inside markings in chinese letters and its brand new condition!"
