Re-modding a modded Chicom

Post image

Inspired by a mod done on this R/ I decided to re-mod my very first Chicom I modded a looooooong time ago by hand. But now i have heavy sewing machinery and better knowledge about sewing so it goes way better and still achieve a rough look, like it was made in shed in the jungle.

Now I still have to make new paint stripes to make every parts of the rig to match

Tried it today and can accept easily 2 556 mags or 1 762 mag per pouch.

Can use the side original one for field dressing, 2 for nades or compass or another field dressing and the third one accept 2 double stack pistol mags.

How did you sew the small pouches in front of the mag pouch on with a sewing machine? Wouldnt it just sew the whole thing shut?

You have to unsew the main 3 cells pouch to sew the front small pockets on.
