Hey All,

I'm having a dilemma selecting a chest rig to accomodate AK74 style magazines. My selection criteria boils down to the following:

- Cannot hold more than four spare magazines.

- Cannot have too many accessory pouches for junk items. The whole purpose of this rig is to create high speed with low drag, meaning I wish for it to hold spare mags and nothing else.

- Must have some sort of quiet(er) opening device such as fastex buckles, toggles, etc. Absolutely no velcro!

- Must be of decent quality construction.

Now with these requirements in mind, I have thus far narrowed my selection down to either the 4-cell CHICOM rig, or the C2 mag-bra as a viable alternative. My question is, will the C2 mag bra comfortably accept AK74 style magazines? I've read that the 7.62x39 magazines are a tight fit, but I was wondering if the same is true for the straighter 5.45x39 magazine?

Also, for those of you with experiences wearing both styles of rigs mentioned above, which is the better choice in terms of comfort, construction, wearability, etc?

If there are any other alternatives out there that fit my criteria please pass it on to me. Please keep in mind that I'm going for simplicity and functionality over any "look cool factor", and I'm not out to make any sort of impression either. I'm just looking for a straight-up functional piece of gear that will suit my purpose.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!
