Dead thread? I think not.
My rig.

This is how I have it assembled for a sort of, middle-weight, mobile style. I can attach more magazines and some different pouches if I think I'll need it all. I have all the mags from right to left as opposed to just one side. Any additional ammo would go on the left hand side, which would make ammo draw much easier.

I chose panels instead of pouches because I find them to be easier to use. There are no flaps to fondle with when its time to reload, and they're more versatile because of the webbing, the user can add whatever they need.
The "Gadget" pouch on the right holds my tool kit and allen wrenches. I keep these on my rig for all the obvious reasons, being able to fix whatever, where I need to.
In the full shot up top, you can see the water hose going along the shoulder pad. I used a couple of grimloc's to route the hose upward, so I don't have to play search and grab if I can't see it. As below.

The admin carries all the usual, radio code cheat sheets, maps... sometimes my keys... whatever. The two small pouches on the right carry a Surefire and a Leatherman, and for a sling I have some paracord and a carabiner. Quick and dirty sling, but its effective.
The rig closes in the front, by the two velcro panels in picture 2 overlapping under another flap of velcro under the mags in the center (pic 3), so all 6 mags are in a straight line.
For reloading, I no longer use an XL loader, but rather several small loaders (as per Raith, thank you sir!) They'll go in a mini chuck just the same, except I'll have pouches inside the chuck for the tools and allens, which would replace the gadget pouch all together. The normal pistol style loaders are better for me because I use GP mags. This lets me raload with one loader for each refreshed magazine, no counting or ending up with 3 full mags and one half full.
Any questions?
