In this Plate Carrier Build video, we will review my plate carrier setup and talk about how to build your own. We will talk about how to choose the correct size plate carrier, guide you through the setup and accessory process for items that civilians would most likely use. I’ll go over my FCPC v5, spiritus MK5, Blue Force Gear (BFG) Stackable 10 speed 5.56 pouch, cummerbund and side armor options for civilian use.

Nice set up man. The only thing i advise you its to open the time tag on your TQ to apply them fast if needed!

[@C4Armory]

Good observation. Not many people would have noticed that. The 2 on the chest placard kept getting stuck on things, so i closed them. The one under the dump pouch is usually open, as is the one on my pistol holster.

Awesome vid brother!

[@C4Armory]

Thanks my man!

[@KaptaynAmeryka]

I like the setup! I've been going over mine a lot lately and its great to see that Im on the right track with mine. I unfortunately only have a cheap Condor carrier. I like the radio setup. That's something I need to do, move my radio pouch and get a longer, flexible antenna. Add a dangler and I'm good to go, I think.

[@C4Armory]

Good luck with your setup. You’ll get there!

[@KaptaynAmeryka]

@@C4Armory thanks! It would be nice if I could do it exactly like I did when I was active duty but I don't want to spend the kind of money that kind of kit requires!

Looking for some plates for mine u have any good sites

[@C4Armory]

I actually don't right now. I haven't been in the plate market for a couple years now and haven't kept up with new production models. If it were me, id still look at the Dayton Armor site. They make a lot of the gov't plates for other manufacturers. Pretty sure they make Velocity System Plates. You can also checkout the plates Ferro Concepts sells. Theres also Hesco, which have had some QC issues in the recent year bt they also just came out with a new plate.
