Custom/Original Tactial Gear Exclusively for VZ58's
« on: October 30, 2014, 01:50:16 PM »
I have been working with VZ's for 4 years now and am no stranger to the lack of product out there for our rifles.  To that end I am beginning to develop a line of fabric goods specifically designed for our 'slightly' different components.  Soon I will be offering a unique and immensely useful Stress Tactical Cleaning Kit, I am just waiting for the patent papers to be finalized.  In the mean time I wanted to begin generating buzz and also offer my services as a seamster, do you have a fabric related problem with your gear?  I can help.  Please email me at forcedmarchfabrication@gmail.com

Posted in the other thread tht the chest rig looks nice! Although I think this should be in the vendors section, I'm not sure. A moderator will probably drop by and move it if it needs moving ;) ;)

Thanks, I hope to shoot a video of the cleaning kit over the weekend and upload it sometime next week.

How big is the cleaning kit?  2 molle rungs? 

Basically, even if it was just something to slide the canvas pouch into, it'd be great.  A wider than 2 molle rungs would have me hesitating however.

Oh, and pretty much any camo color but Army UCP please!

It's wide, flat, and so incredibly useful ---- it's going to blow people's minds. 

The colors I will be producing it in initially will be black, coyote, and ranger green.  Dimensions are 6"x 8"x .75" It does take up some real estate, it is as tiny as I can currently make it.  My advise, mount it under either arm - where it can never get it the way or on the front of your chest rig woven into the Molle that so many pouches already have sewn into their face.

Meant to shoot some video this weekend, however...  I have a Trijicon ACOG and it has given me plenty of unhappiness over the last year and a half.  Sometimes it works great, other times, not so much.  Today it was 2' high or 2' low at 100yrds...  I am going to try and send it back to the factory.  I was so frustrated that I laid down at the range and took a nap.  It was either that or snap my VZ in half over a boulder.

It was a serious evolution.  I ditched the double stacked mags in favor of a more slender profile without the bunny ears.  I don't plan on manufacturing any of this stuff cause I don't care to help people who don't have to the funds or interest.  :-[  Simple economics, however I will be putting my whole set up for sale soon, it's perfectly setup for those rare folks who's main battle rifle is a VZ or AK and want to be heavily armored.  I've built an incredible amount of gear here that can be had no where else and will never be seen again.  I'll post pictures of it probably tonight.

I'm not going to make another one of these it was a prototype, it has both shoulder, groin, butt, sides, and neck protection.  It comes with four ceramic plates in all plus the wrap around front and back kevlar.  The vest supports six rifle magazines, two pistol magazines, one pistol, one med-kit, one cleaning kit, one rifle, and one Camelbak.  It's an XL-Long which I'm told is very rare.  Every piece of gear is handmade for a AK or VZ operator and the vest has been gone through and thoroughly cleaned and repaired.  This is one of those vests that you can pull a ripcord and it falls away from your body, keeping that in mind I made a really wonderful single point sling.  Tried posting it on Armslist today but their site is suffering from technical difficulties today.

FM -- your stress cleaning kit is probably something you could find some gear manufacturer to partner w/ on.  It needn't be VZ58 exclusive.  I know some AR guys that run cleaning rods banded to the side of their forends, and an equally fast solution like this would be desired by many.  AK guys would probably resist, but since I've never had an AK w/ rod long enough to knock out a stuck case, the sensible ones should come around partially, even if they continue to deny the VZ58's superiority.  ::)

Really impressed by the product, but I personally would prefer something a little narrower, like down to two rows molle -- thinking a kit similar to GGG's slim medic pouch but for weapon maintenance: http://www.greyghostgear.com/category-s/1826.htm
Perhaps immediate action items on down flap and maintenance stuff on the vertical.  Thinking further, the GGG pouch would actually probably work great w/ just a redesign of its internal component retention system; it open similar to your admin pouch system and full zip wouldn't hurt either.

Can't fully see what all you have in there, but including cleaning rods, lube bottle/grease plunger/both, perhaps a spare part pouch like extractor/firing pin/etc., chamber brush, broken shell extractor, bore snake, and some patches -- all the immediate bases I can think of would be covered. 

Keep us posted here! And thanks for sharing.
