Thank you very much for your help, Ming. According to Safariland's website, the 6004 shroud appears slightly different (1 strap vs 2 on the clone) and that the kydex pouch is only designed for belts:

Shroud: http://www.safariland.com/product.aspx?pid=6004-10
Kydex: http://www.safariland.com/product.aspx?pid=774

I'll have to keep poking around and search elsewhere (EDIT: Found some. Looks like their website isn't updated with all their current products). It's probably safe to assume that mounting kydex pouches to the IBH dropleg platform would involve custom modifications or some sort of adaptor plate? I'm pretty fond of the Y-harness design on my SERPA platform.

For those that thought I'm the "all show - no go" type of player...well you're probably half right

A big part of the fun (for me) of this hobby is playing dress up. I do attempt to equip myself appropriately for different situations but if it looks like shit, I don't care how effective it is I probably won't wear it (that's just my opinion). For those curious, this is my justification for this drop leg kydex platform:

- It's intended use is for CQB venues where crawling around in the bush and going prone is very limited or none. I did wind up mounting my SERPA on my belt because the dropleg is a pain in the ass when crawling through the bush and prone...which I do a lot of.

- I run a CIRAS with the standard velcrow double mag pouches and a dump pouch on my left hip. The velcrow is a bit cumbersom for reloading. For previously mentioned CQB venues, I generally tuck the velcrow straps into the pouches and have the mags just friction/gravity fit for easy reloads since I generally don't have to worry about rolling around and losing mags...but it still happens especially when there is only 1 mag in the pouch at the time.

- I run all low caps; 9 minimum and up to 13 sometimes so I would prefer to keep the flaps closed to prevent me losing/dropping any mags. The kydex dropleg would allow me to close the flaps but still have fast access to mags when needed.

I'm a big boy and have been playing this game long enough to know what generally works for me. I'm still constantly rearranging my rig slightly and trying new things. I can afford to get it wrong and learn things the hard way because it's just a game. If I get shot because my kit wasn't in the right place I don't throw a hissy fit, I smile and go respawn then usually go out for supper/beers after the game with the guy who shot me.
