Fred from Spiritus Systems demonstrates how to effectively use AK-47/74 magazines within their Micro Fight chest rig system using the 5.56 inserts. The optimal method involves storing magazines 'rounds up' to prevent feed lip snagging on the elastic retention. This technique is presented as a practical, immediate solution rather than a purpose-built feature, and the video warns against using the 7.62/308 inserts due to a loose fit. The 'rock and lock' reload technique is also highlighted as compatible with this orientation.

This guide details a modification to the Spiritus Systems Micro Fight chest rig, transforming it into a functional and quiet binocular harness.

The hack emphasizes the importance of sew-on velcro over sticky-back alternatives for durability and modularity.
