Ok this has been a long time in the works. Colin from 762 Tactical sent us a Chi Com Chest Rig for review a few months back and we’ve finally gotten around to putting a video together for it.

I’ll start by saying I am not an “AK guy” my experience is limited to familiarization training and fun shoots. So I don’t claim to be an expert on it. But the review is not intended to be based on functionality.

My overall impression is that the rig is very well made. This is a basic chest rig just like the original with minimal bells and whistles, just like the weapons system it is designed to be used with. Some nice features include, adjustable flaps, PALS on either side of mag pouches and non snag pouch edges.

My only gripe would be the depth of the pockets, they are deeper than I’d prefer but my guess is that this is in staying true to the original design.

Colin sent me retail pricing but that was a while back, so I’m  not too sure if that has changed. I’ll email him and update this article when I get the latest info.

You can contact Colin through his website www.762tactical.com, 762 also has an eBay store at  http://myworld.ebay.com/762tactical/

Another point to note is 762 Tactical is sponsoring our next contest, and this rig is going to be the “prize” for so stay tuned for details.

We want to thank everyone that is using this blog as it was intended. We only see it getting better and better.

We have some major plans for the very near future, so keep an eye out for several announcements over the coming days.

762Tactical is a custom gear company started in 2002 and went full time on 2006. The foundation of the company was built around the need for gear to use with weapon systems other than the M16/M4 series of weapons.

Colin, the owner of 762tTactical, identified the gap for weapons such as AK’s, FAL’s, G3′s, M14′s and more recently SR25/M110 SASS’s. While some of these weapons have pretty much been in continuous use in more specialized units, we have seen a resurgence even in conventional line units especially the M14 and the new M110 and to a certain extent the AK which has been widely used by civilian contractors. Of course there is always the civilian market where larger caliber semi-auto rifles have remained popular. To further cater to the civilian market 762 can also build solutions for M1 Garands, m1 carbines, 3030 Winchesters and other sporting rifles.

762′s product offerings are not limited to this however, they also make an assortment of other conventional load carrying rigs of which we have included some photos.

762Tactical’s customers range from Army and USMC snipers, SF, Civilian Contractors, 3 gun competitors, your average prepared citizen and everyone in between.

They currently have a showcase website www.762tactical.com but will be launching their online store and improved website in the next month or so. We’ll be sure to post an update when they go live. in the mean time you can contact them through the email address on their site.
