OK. Here's some updated pics of the sniper plate & side rivets. I moved the plate up a bit & painted the rivets white. I'll work on the SWAT requirements when I get a few other projects done.
Oh well, there's always hunting/sporting goods shops that want to make money. To heck with Walmart. They seemingly have stopped selling Star Wars figures too...unless they are EPI repacks that we bought a year ago.
Mine hardly weighs anything so I can wear it for however long we troop. If your's bothers you, as mentioned, a harness, or just a simple extra strap across the chest (but under the armor) might help a bit.
I use the nylon straps as well. I use the same to connect my shoulder pouch, but will probably add something else (Velcro probably) since it flops around a bit much.
Just happened to see a display MG-15 on-line.

Kinda expensive, but I never really see these anywhere.
I can't afford it, but it looks pretty cool.
Lou,
I just saw this and it just brought tears to my eyes....
I'm so sorry man.
If you need anything else, let us know.
I'm praying for you and your family during this sad time.
I hope he is comfortable and goes with peace.
God bless you brother.
