Displaced Texan 11,731 Posted June 26, 2015 I have a clone of that rig and I like it very much. I think I paid somewhere around $50 for it a few years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,661 Posted June 26, 2015 I'll bet $100 that the KZ is the clone of Displaced Texans rig. Botach rips off other companies designs and copies them, selling them under the KZ line. Very unscrupulous. I know first hand a guy that designed a single point receiver end sling mount and asked Botach to carry it. They asked for a sample and he sent them one. The sent him a letter a few weeks later declining to carry his mount. A week later his mount was for sale as a KZ single point sling mount. He threatened to sue, they said go ahead, we can pay our lawyer more than yours and for longer - and that was that. They are crooks. Additionally, that is entirely too many mags on a chest rig. Heavy, uncomfortable, and hinders stable shooting platforms. Hell, the current standard loadout for a soldier going into a combat zone is only 7 mags - 6 on the body and one in the gun.

Displaced Texan 11,731 Posted June 26, 2015 I didn't notice that rig has double mag pouches. Mine has single, for total of 4 mags. It fits very comfortably with 4. I agree with H.E. 8 is too many on the chest. Just checked, mine was made by Spec-Ops gear. I bought it years ago, think the design is slightly different now, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one from them. I have several of their T.H.E. rucks, great quality gear.

RecessedFilter 222 Posted June 27, 2015 It's actually 5 double stacked mag pouches so 10 mags total. That would be super heavy and not optimal for most situations, if not all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,661 Posted June 27, 2015 If you read the description, it's actually 6 double stacked mags for 12 total. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tack Tickle 0 Posted June 27, 2015 Didn't see the 6th row there. Thought the companies names was KZ 12. I agree 12 mags is definitely pushing it. I don't trust the "reviews" on botachs site. That is why I came here. The back elastic piece spanning from the two harness straps looks like it's barely connected. I am going to check out the spec-ops gear.

Lalo 13 Posted June 27, 2015 Stay away from Botach. I've read many horror stories about their customer service as well as shady behavior like HE said. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
High Exposure 5,661 Posted June 27, 2015 Seriously look at the Blue Force Gear 10 Speed Chest Rig. It's perfect. Everyone that shoots an AR should have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladtepes 1,060 Posted June 30, 2015 i tried to buy from Botach once.. never ever again.. they are lame... I will say they resolved my issue quickly.. but it was an issue they caused by being shady.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted June 30, 2015 Are you worried more about cost or functionality? I'd recommend the Original SOE 6-Mag Stacked chest rig over this Botach crap. Only thing is - it's $250. http://www.originalsoegear.com/collections/chest-rigs/products/6-mag-stacked-chest-rig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
