Here's my operator on a budget loadout that I ran this weekend in the mud:
Rifle: Poverty Pony basic bitch AR with 16" barrel & A2 FSB, Magpul MOE SL furniture, Primary Arms SLX-MD25 and SLX 3x magnifier + some ranger wrap, Vickers padded sling
Pistol: CZ P-10F with Holosun SCS
PC: Velocity Mayflower LEPC, Esstac Daeodon placard, Beez Combat Systems skeletal cummerbund with tubes, Veritac level IV plates
Belt: Blue Alpha light Molle, PIG Delta gloves, Glock field knife, Esstac KWYI doublestack, Bladetech holster adapter, True North MHA, holster by Legacy Firearms, rando Amazon trash IFAK, dump pouch, and TQ holster
Pack: Condor Hydration II and Maxpedition shoulder pads
I took 25th out of 84 total competitors, got more than a few compliments on performing with a non-Gucci gun. Competed in Armored division which requires rifle plates and retention of all supplies/gear/accoutrements on the competitor's person for the entire duration. Other than some derp fit issues with the backpack that I absolutely could have addressed in the field if I had taken some time, the whole getup worked beautifully for me. Both firearms ran perfectly, and the only shots I missed were entirely my fault.
Roast my kit!
Well "on a budget" is doing some heavy lifting here for sure... I scooped the plate carrier as NOS for around $300, pretty much everything else I paid retail for. Belt was around $180, rifle with all stuff was probably around $1000, pistol was another $600 since it came with the optic. I carried 6 total AR mags and 4 total pistol mags (CZ mags are the worst, about $35 each), and around 200 rounds of rifle and 150 rounds of pistol ammo. I'm probably still about $3-4K deep in kit here all told. The match itself was only $20 to enter at least!
Damn thats a hell of a lot more than I expected
Thanks for the info!
