The AK47 Chest rig has not had a major redesign for years. Most the AK47 chest rigs support 3 to 6 mags. The 6 magazine design is usually a double stack pouch and once one magazine is removed the other gets really sloppy.
The advances in chest rig design have mostly taken place around the 5.56 magazine used by US and NATO forces until now. BCS has designed a AK47 chest rig that supports 5 AK magazines in a low profile design with an expanse of molle across the front of the rig. This design allows the operator to have a combat load of 6 magazines.
The redesign of the AK47 chest rig is part of the transformation of the AK47 weapon system. There are many companies that are taking the AK47 to levels never seen before. One of those companies is Bravo18.
AK47 chest rig choices have been somewhat limited for AK-47 users. So we decided to design a rig dedicated to the AK. Several manufacturers make chest rigs that are somewhat universal. Often these universal rigs don’t work well with the curved shape of the AK mags or hang up on the locking tab located on the back of the mag. Our new rig will at the very least, give AK users another choice. The AK47 chest rig is a very simple and basic design. It is a means to carry 5 mags and with a three rows of molle across the expanse of the rig for attachment.The mags are retained via elastic bungee loops and over- sized pull taps that offer great retention and speedier access than flaps. A rear pocket also allows for storage of additional items. The AK47 chest rig is available in Multicam,Coyote,Ranger Green,Khaki and Black.
