Over the last month or so we’ve had alot of questions regarding one of our Crye AVS rigs. While the avs is one the best load bearing and modular plate carriers out of the box, there was just a few things we wanted in a carrier that it couldnt offer from the factory. Alot of parts and peices, trial and error, and TIME went Into this rig. So enjoy it! We’ll do a deep dive into all the things that make it OUR favorite carrier! As promised we've provided links to the majority of items on this kit. Please go out and watch other content creators videos on how they set up kit. This kit works for us, but it may not work out for you. Pull information from as many people as you can, and set your kit up for what your end goal is. DO NOT just emulate what we have. figure what works for you and create your own system! Thanks for stopping by!
This is a dumbed down version of our AVS setup for people to better understand the concepts at hand. And yes we know, SSE stands for sensitive site exploitation. You guys wanted a video and links of the Plate carrier Group, so here you go! below are the amazon links for a quick arrival and or to test out gear before you spend your money on an expensive item. we get a small kick back from amazon. we can't see what you buy or where it goes. any and all funds will be used to buy better camera equipment to further our videos. a small portion of any funds received from KZbin will go to the gofundme for our Friend lance, and to a charity we see fit. Thank you all so much for taking the time!

[@Alex-log1c4l]

triple ten speed on the non dominant cummerbound is genius, and im gonna steal this idea definitely

[@TJbrena]

Good vid, subbed. My only beef with this setup is that the Cobra buckle isn't good for quick doffing. Cobra buckles don't release when they're being pulled, so they might not let go when you're trying to get it off in a hurry. If it hasn't been a problem for you, no problem. I'm personally considering swapping to a small Tubes adapter for the shoulder buckle, I remember someone makes one, it might be 8492 Nylonworks.

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

Hasn’t been a problem yet. But a good insight nonetheless. Typically pressing up on the bottom of the buckle in any scenario will release it in any scenario. Now If we’re talking a medical emergency or casualty care. they will cut off whatever gear they need to in order to get to it. No one really cares what kind of gear, or the price of your gear if your life is on the line. If you like the tubes for the shoulder, lets us know. Always interested, and always helps for more people know their options on different set ups and what works! Hope the tubes works in your favor man, and thanks for the sub!

What plates are you running in the carrier?! Did I miss that? Stoked for more content from yall.

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

Hesco 4800 I believe. we’ve also got there 3810B, and some LTC plates as well.

[@LysergDitel]

Very neat setup. Most of the things are pretty similar to mine. But still trying to figure out how to adjust some stuff on the left side in order to use that shoulder lock but not put much on my shooting side. Now I have some ideas, thanks! The only thing - I haven't notice any TQ on it. You probably have it on a belt but how many of it you usually carry and do you have at least one spot where everyone should carry a tq according to the sop? Much love from Ukraine

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

Glad to hear this helped! One spot is different for everyone because we're all built different. Put it in the spot that you can access it with both hands! I carry one on my belt line, mounted onto my holster. I also carry one or two in my sleeve or sleeves of the combat top. Depending on the placard/chestrig I use with this there will be one rubber banded on it as well. Generally the rule of thumb for MOST people I have personally worked with in the past is 2-4. 2 being the bear minimum. At any time I have 2 on the kit that I can access from both sides. and SOP for our team is 2 per person. Medical will carry a more extensive care bag, and have more knowledge on treating casualty. Some people will have 4 TQ's on their person, one for each limb. Butttttt if you're missing all 4 limbs YOU cannot put on your TQ. But they're worth their weight in gold to carry extras. Some food for thought. this helped, Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's something I left out!

[@mightymovse]

What did you use to connect the first spear tubes to the cummerbund? Can’t seem to find any decent options that don’t require a new cummerbund.

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

We used the A&A tactical 3 band tubes adapter. It’s the best we could find without permanently modifying or using a new cumberbund. We ordered the spare tubes direct from first spear Link is in the bio for the adapter.

[@davidb9323]

Do the tube adapters snap? I have heard before that one brand is not very durable and requires users to have extra parts.

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

⁠​⁠@@davidb9323 can only speculate at this point. The ones that are on it have been pretty decent so far. It’s got some color discoloration around the main stress point. From what we’ve seen, and the people we’ve talked to. they seem to hold up well. The guys we’ve talked to in the marine corps are 50/50 on them. Some love them, some hate them. So far we like the first spear tubes, but time will tell. If you’re going to buy a tubes system, buy the first spear tubes. Don’t buy the cheap Amazon version of them. I think the extra 3 pieces from first spear was something north of 20 bucks to the door.

[@saintalfonzo999]

What is the cummerbund mag pouch called, and who makes it? Thanks, killer vid. Subscribed.

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

Blue force gear is the brand, and they are the triple mags pouch. Link to the product is in the bio

lol, SSE is "sensitive site exploitation" according to the Marine Corps in 2008 when I did the course.

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

[@roque217]

The “in & out’ system you showcase at 9:59. Where can I find that? Searched EVERYWHERE!

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

These are first spear tubes. I have a link to the adapter for the avs. They’re from A&A tactical. The tubes you can buy directly from first spear. Spiritus systems also sells their own cumberbund that comes with tubes, and most the equipment they make is tubes compatible. If you have any other questions let us know! 👍

[@derrickrichardson2395]

[@depthcharge126]

Question on mag placement (I’m not a cool guy, just a civvy), how many mags do you run on your carrier + belt and how many do you run in your pack? Is it really necessary to have 6 mags readily available (not any in your pack)? I’m trying to find a good balance and placement without running extra shit out in front of my carrier so that it becomes annoying when going prone or laying my rifle flat

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

So I’ll put it this way. You know what you need. YOU are the one that will dictate your mission and what you have to do. 6 is the standard load out bc typically that’s what the military issues you. Maybe 7. It depends who you’re with and what your job is. Personally I run around 5-6 on my plate carrier, 1 on the belt, and 1 in the gun. I have extra loaded magazines in my assault pack at all times, how many? It just depends where we’re going, and how long. So do you need 6 available to you? Maybe, maybe not. You might be able to get away with 4 and one in the gun and no extra mags. Again, you decide what you’re going to do as a civ. The last thing I will say is that you can never have enough ammo or water. You will fight and die with what’s on your back. I know it’s vague, but I don’t know what you’re situation is and I don’t know what you’re going to do. Is it recon? Is it direct action to go get more resources for your family? A lot goes into play here. That’s why mission always dictates gear. Hope that somewhat helps you man

[@bitethecurb3900]

How long do you want to fight?

[@orpheusepiphanes2797]

Probably dumb question but if youre concerned about the reliability the "tubes" to the point that youre carrying spare hardware in your admin pouch...wouldnt it make more sense to just use cobra buckles or something?

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

I tried to find cobra buckles to use, but wasn’t able to. If you find any that work, post it here. you and I aren’t the only ones who’ve thought this!

[@orpheusepiphanes2797]

@@FischerDefenseGroup I definitely will if I come across something. I dont own this setup and its hard to find info about it tbh so thanks for the vid. If I do end up putting to gether one of these I'll let you know. BTW, do you know anything about the chest rig that they make that is supposed to go with this?

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

Not a problem man. The whole purpose of this channel is to get people’s brain moving and get ideas out for gear and equipment. Had issues finding anything on this as well, and people asked enough questions to justify the video. As far as the chest rig goes, I’ve used it before but never owned one. It’s got a lot of space for mags, support gear (both sides) but doesn’t come with a harness/yoke. IMO it’s a lot of stuff to stack on a plate carrier. I would rather use the triple mag placard or the flaps from Crye if you wanted to stick with it. That being said, I think it’s a great piece of gear and can complement certain applications very well. I ended up going with the tracer tactical scout for a larger chest rig. We have a video on tiktok about said chest rig to give you some ideas. Hope this helps man, if you any other questions drop em below.

[@orpheusepiphanes2797]

@@FischerDefenseGroup That is a classic design rig, I have one very similar yeah. Right now Im running a Tasmanian Tiger Mk2 over top of a slick carrier which works really well for me. I can run dual comms and have room for 8 AK mags if I want (default to 4 or 6 tbh). It works fine in all honesty, but you know how it is, always tire kicking

[@orpheusepiphanes2797]

@@FischerDefenseGroup I have a suggestion on future content if youre down: I see tons of ppl running phones on their admin area above the mags. Aside from TRex and S2 Underground nobody has any useful content regarding "how to make it all work" (ie depending on cell service or using a radio with a modem to transmit the data) and what use it has within the team etc. If you could go over that, that would be swell. (Im responsible for comms in my crew and it was enough of a pain to convince everyone to switch to Motorolas so Im ill inclined to push *another* system that everyone has to learn and make room for. (Personally I dont want to do it either since that bib/admin area is where my NACRE Quietpro goes and I dont want to change it lol)

[@josephhernandez9628]

Do you have a link to the plate carrier?

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

Typically you buy the carrier in parts and pieces, if you buy direct from Crye expect to wait a couple of months from our experience. They’re hard to find at the moment. Aotac sells them online from time to time. But to find one that’s in stock and new is almost impossible to link at the moment. We’ll update if we find some 👍

[@Cliffxcore]

@@FischerDefenseGroup just got my Crye AVS from crye's site. it took about a week and a half for a coyote color one. I am not sure if the color made a difference or not.

[@Fischer56]

bro! SICK setup! Also i have a question! What placard is that on the avs? I have a Jpc2, does it fit it?

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

If you have the split bar buckle for the jpc it’ll fit. There’s two loops that are beside the velcro on the front. Attach those and it’ll fit. www.optactical.com/sp1initwnebu.html The placard is a Haley strategic micro chestrig.

[@sayNotoBrooklyn83]

So the socom guys basically dump everything except the plate bags?

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

Can't and will not speak for all of SOCOM. Will only speak on the guys i've talked to. From what I've heard and personally seen, most of them do. If they're still running the AVS it's just plate bags. Other dudes I have spoken with are running a JPC which would make more sense to me. If you're just running plate bags that is.

[@mortarmantv]

I’d like to see the whole rig disassembled and laid out piece by piece so I can better understand how it’s put together. Is this rig assembled by multiple manufacturers or is it all available by Crye? I see the links you listed above but I’d still like to see how it all goes together. Thanks.

[@mahbuddykeith1124]

The AVS is Crye, the flat pack and chest rig/placard is Haley Strategic, mag pouches on the side are Blue Force Gear, looks like the bladder is Source Hydration. Just…use this as a launching point and get gear that works for you, buddy. Just keep in mind that the AVS is a nylon money pit.

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

@@mahbuddykeith1124 Is pretty spot on with this. We don't really have the allocation of time necessary to do that and brake things down piece by piece. There are plenty of guys already going over the tear down and assembly of the AVS. Chances are, they go into better detail than we would. This video is more-less a way to get ideas and concepts to people so they can take ideas and or products to add onto their kit. IF it fits their role or goal. This Plate carrier is indeed a money pit and if you don't need the options it has and offers, DON'T BUY IT. A lot of people would be better off with a JPC or LV119 from spiritus systems. We have more videos coming on chest rigs/placards, pelican case setup (deployment case), gas masks, assault packs, and more. so keep an eye out.

[@mortarmantv]

@@mahbuddykeith1124 what I’m struggling with is all the dang pieces that go into building a kit like this. They didn’t have all that crap when I was in the military. Everything has changed so much. I want a plate carrier vest with 3 mag pouches in front, a radio pouch, map pocket and a couple of general purchases pouches. Does any company out there just sell the whole dang thing already put together? In decent quality of course. Why does this seem so complicated? It’s overwhelming just looking at all these video’s trying to figure out where to begin!

[@mahbuddykeith1124]

@@mortarmantv Then you’d want a JPC 1.0. That has the flap with 3 mag pouches. Then you get your radio and GP pouches from wherever. Alternatively, Ferro Concepts Slickster with the elastic cummerbund because you can shove whatever in those pouches. Unfortunately, there isn’t anything with *everything* put together from the factory because the name of the game nowadays is modularity. It means you can truly get a custom piece of kit, but that means money. I have gone through two entire plate carrier setups before settling on the one I have now and I’m still planning upgrades/ tweaking things here and there. My one bit of advice that I have for you is ask yourself what your mission is. That will dictate everything else. 99% of people will be fine with a regular-ass sandwichboard (JPC 2.0/Spiritus lv119/Ferro slickster/FCPC) and a basic bitch placard (Esstac I swear by, but you can go for Spiritus or Haley too). After that, you go out and train. Find out what you’re missing, what can be moved, what you can take away, etc. It’s all individual, so you have to find what works for you.

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

@@mortarmantvwith everything moving over to modularity, that’s just how it goes. The OG jpc 1.0 offers 3 mags and a map pocket up top from the rip. The gp pouches are generally easy to source from surplus stores for a good price. The radio part is tricky. With radios varying so much right now in size it just depends what your running. For example if you run a BAOFENG uv5r (most popular) in an 152 pouch it’ll sink in and swim around. you’ll never see it, or just fall out and yard sale your radio from a low crawl. So you need to find the right pouch for your radio. Jpc 1.0 sounds like it’ll give you the most bang for your buck. Hope this helped.

[@Ozonehh]

What cummerbund did you use on this?

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

The Crye 3 band AVS cummerbund. Used blue force gear triple mag pouches on both sides.

[@thehillsniper2504]

Can u remove the shoulder buckle completely?? I know u can swap sides on it tho

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

correct, you can remove it completely and run both sides without any buckles what so ever.

[@alexdelk]

how much was the total for everything?

[@michaeleuchegal8782]

hi, is there a reason y u put the bungecord not trough the platebag? Just wondering what the difference is?

[@FischerDefenseGroup]

This is just a personal opinion, so keep that in mind. The avs attaches to harness on the shoulders, and on the rear area (the back). To ME that is sufficient enough to hold the plate bags to the harness its self. In my opinion you don’t need to run shock cord through the plate bags. It might pull the bag a little closer to the harness. But I’m not worried about that. By running the shock cord through just the harness, I’ve found that it lets the harness expand a little more and move relatively freely allowing for better motion and expansion for breathing, bending, twisting, etc. Again, this is just my personal opinion and preference.
