  • Solid foundation to build an LBE rig on the cheap (for now).
    Not much to say about this, but I do anyway.

    Heh, used that webbing quite a bit during my conscription in Sweden. I can tell you that everyone hated that piece of shit, literally nothing worked. The shoulder straps had a tendancy to loosen up and slide down your shoulders all the time when running etc. The pouches themselves where awful too, strange size and horrible "buckle" too, and the pouches themselves would come loose all the time especially in the worst situations possible. We used to hammer down those metal clips on the pouches to make them more tight but it still didn't work. Truly one of the worse pieces of gear of the Swedish military, no wonder all of them ended up as surplus. I think it was introduced in the late 80s to accomodate the new 5.56 AK5 magazines, but it was used up until the 2000s and the belt is still the current issue pistol belt.

      Thanks for your perspective, glad to have an ex-Swedescript weigh in this gear. There was a whole nother take wherein I bitched about all of the points you bring up: suspenders loosening, the pouches being terrible at everything, the awful clips. Very likely failure points. But then when I played it back, I realized I had lost the perspective that this gear cost me $10.
      So if people are giga-poor, I show them a couple of ways to still make it work on the cheap, they can slowly and cheaply upgrade it to be very solid later; if they just want something a little different in addition to their already squared away modern gear, then "here is what to expect"
      Trying to focus on the positives of it, ya know?
      Thanks 4 youre cervix protecting Ikea, OOHRAH

      I use this belt quite a bit in the Swedish cadets, I quite liked it but the belt was a bit annoying especially when it’s minus outside and your hands are all frozen. But besides that I had no other problems of the pouches getting loose and what not, and I never had the problem of the shoulder straps falling down but I have pretty broad shoulders so, but One of the shoulder straps got a hole in it but it didn’t cause any discomfort.

    Inspired me to pick up a harness, the belt came rusted and straps rotten, but the pouches? My God.... The pouches were immaculate. Pristine even. Slapped them babies on my ALICE and I must say that shit is SOLID!

    Maybe this has been suggested to you already. A wire clothes hanger can be repurposed to feed through the loop and then hook to the ALCE clip. At this point you carefully pull the clothes hanger back through the loop while placing the clip into position on the article of your attention.
    As for AK magazine extraction, we look to the wisdom of Canadia's National Treasure, Red Green. Make a duct tape tab at the bottom of the magazine. Looks like you're loading into the pouch in a top-down manner so when you grab the magazine you're grabbing the bottom of the magazine.
    p.s. I know it's Canada's national treasure, I just like teasing my cousins to the North of me.

    The problem I always thought of the ALICE set up, was the black plastic "snaps" on the ammo pouches. They spent all of that time and money to think up new carrying equipment. Then used those cheap plastic snaps. They probably last longer, but are noisy. I never thought that the "Y" suspenders were very good. I always preferred the old fashioned "H" ones. I know their old fashioned, but they worked better. I don't know why, they never adopted the vest system, like the British or the Israelis did? The Rhodesian Fire Force vest was very thought out, too.

    • @uncledonkey675

      I'll come out in favor of the ALICE snaps over these Swedish elastic ones. Tradeoffs with every way of securing a mag pouch. I like the positive *snap* knowing that is not going to open, and it is in the same place, no matter what. You can close ALICE quietly, or you can close them quickly, but not both. Swedish pouches are always quiet, but rarely quick, and never very secure.
      As to vests, iirc I have seen some modern modular molle lbv/e systems in swedish patterns for sale that reminded me of the British stuff, and the US had LBV-88, FLC, etc

      @@fiskersproductions depends on what you are doing. I have scared deer off with clicks and snaps from gear, safeties etc, they are very sensitive to noises of that nature. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but the point was: they do make a noise, while the Swedish are silent.

    I like the pouches for GP or medical and move them off to the sides more, and I glued velcro on them to keep them shut. I also just ran zip ties on either side of the shitty metal clip holding them on the belt, but MALICE clips will work, and both of these methods are way easier than ALICE clips. I also took off the metal belt bucke and put a plastic buckle on it instead.

      Not much experience, not too big on vests myself. I had an LBV88 briefly, but it became a Christmas present for a buddy. I'd refer to Paul Harrel's stuff on them, he sure likes his.
