FLC molle vest

Anyone using these? Picked one up cheap ( found out my company makes them ) and it seems like it’s a pretty stout piece of gear that holds a lot, bulky though compared to a chest rig or BB.

NSN 8465-01-525-0575 for those of you who like part numbers :slight_smile:

There’s a huge thread on TOS about them. I have one I’ve been playing with for my 2nd line, I’m still not sure if I like it. I’m not a combatant and it’s likely overkill for me.

I’ve been issued a few. I like them. Not a bad piece of gear. Wish I could find a coyote brown version.

not bad at all to be a govt issued gear

Over on AR15.com there is a huge thread of people buying the desert pattern and using rit dye to color them all kinds of different ways.

Quite an interesting thread over on TOS. I have an extra ACU FLC that I am thinking of dying just to see how it turns out.

The arfcom thread is a good read. It convinced me to do the chest rig mod and I think that it’s worthwhile giving it a try.

if you search you can find them for like 7 bucks in desert camo.

This place?

I got some from them and they are good to go.

SoDak, I think GhillieSuits.com is sold out…per TOS.

I tried it and went back to stock. I decided I wanted a canteen pouch or two behind my hips which required use of the MOLLE loops on the belt, plus a friend showed me how to properly size it for changing outerwear - zipped up with your lightest layers and using the two Fastex straps for over a coat.

I see. That’s too bad since they were the best deal going.

I went to the site and it allowed me to put one into the shopping cart…

Ditto. I got an order confirmation. Guess I will follow up in the morning with them to find out the status.

ARJJ, you sure you aren’t thinking about Maine Military? I know they ran out of woodland FLCs recently.
