I was using a new Juki, but now I'm using a Singer 403A:



Manufactured in the late '50s and has sewn the vest I posted earlier and some other pouches with no problems, runs like a beast.

Ok, it's something for the range. I don't want a PC for the range, or a Rack, but something for 3 pistol mag pouches, a GP, and 4 mags. And, here it is.. minus pouches.

Edit as usual: It looks like alot of rigs. I don't care. It took half an hourish to make, getting used to my machine. Just practice.

And, Dave. Since, I don't have ACTUAL plates to base on, I noticed most rigs for 10x12 plates look like they're 12x14 long. And, this is actually 11x13, so I guess.. it's just like.. scrap.

Looks like the mesh rig I designed for my crew chief buddy, T-bone.

In fact, it's exactly the same, except for the fact it's cordura and not mesh.

Nice, Nate.

Hawk,

In addition to my Consew knock-off, I have the Singer 503...excellent machine.  Did a lot of Frankenslings before I got my industrial.

I just put my Thompson mini walker up on consign with AISS. I out grew it for obvious reasons. It is pretty much a taiwanese copy of nates machine. I am not sure if his has large bobbins or not, but when you are doing a large vest project changing bobbins every 5min is not that much fun. Also the high lift feet on my juki make sewing projects so much easier.

Small bobbins here. I feel like I'm shooting 7rds through a 1911 with industrial, compared to G19 with my Pfaff. Strong, but doesn't last near as long!

The rig I made that I just cut, it took 2 bobbins.

I messed up the timing on it, and getting it fixed wasn't cheap, so I decided to use this old one. It was sitting around collecting dust so I brought it out and it worked better than expected.
