  • Modifications to the USMC Gen 2 plate carrier and recommended aftermarket products to make it better.
    Since I am about to make the switch to the Gen 3, it’s high time to make the full video on how to modify the Gen 2. Hope this helps.

    Started with a woodland interceptor and now we’re here. Shit time flies

    I used the Gen 2 my entire enlistment. I know it’s not flashy like a JPC and the wallet warrior goons may not be impressed, but I loved it. Worked perfectly for me.

    I remember taking the sling off a SMAW fiber and replacing my strap with it. Lol it stayed that way for three years.

    I used to use shock cord to tighten around the sapi didn't have any trouble removing it when I needed to

    does your unit allow you to run the gen 2 if everyone else is running a gen 3 or it being "issued" allows you to wear it, I got a personal gen 2 and they wont let me wear it

      That’s weird that they won’t let you wear it.

    Just clarifying. You need an after market product in order to attach a placard?

    • @UsamaBeenHidin
      @UsamaBeenHidin 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes. AXL Advanced sells a nice molle/velco adapter for the gen2 to attach placards!

      Actually not necessarily! To properly attach it yes you need an adapter kit for the gen 2, but there is a way using buckles. I will be putting up a video about it in future!

    Is that a Blue Force Gear ifak? I need a better solution than this huge issue clamshell ifak pouch

    • @GruntHacks
      @GruntHacks  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It is! I’m working on a couple possible IFAK solutions right now but yes I’ve been using the BFG IFAK for a while now. It’s definitely better than the issued IFAK but it’s similar

      I personally use the a smaller admin pouch and it works but I’ve seen people use those pouch’s that dangle in front of the nut pouch or get a roll one by ferro concepts
