2MT: Using AK Mags In The Micro Fight

Published on March 2, 2022
Duration: 2:38

Fred from Spiritus Systems demonstrates how AK magazines can be effectively used with their Micro Fight chest rig system, specifically within the 5.56 inserts and placards. The key to successful integration is orienting the magazines 'bullets to the sky' to avoid snagging on the elastic retention, a practical adaptation for the 'rock and lock' reload technique. This method is presented as an immediate solution rather than a dedicated design.

Quick Summary

AK magazines can be used in Spiritus Systems Micro Fight chest rigs by inserting them into 5.56 inserts or placards. For optimal fit and to prevent snagging, orient the magazines 'bullets to the sky' (rounds upwards). This method is practical for the 'rock and lock' reload technique and avoids issues with feed lips catching on elastic retention.
