I've used both Tactical Tailor and TAG gear, and both are great.

The Eagle Industries PC is great.
I have one in multicam with the cummerbund, and it has served me well. Unlike DBT's FAPC, you don't need plates to mount pouches on without it sagging. Plus it's comfortable. I soiled my pants when I put mine on after wearing an IBA for a couple months in BCT and AIT.
All those websites above sell magazine pouches designed for M16/M4 series magazines.
-
I am looking for something that can be assembled with all pouches for around $120.

You wont find such a deal going with any quality makers. The least expensive plate carriers are still about $100 and a full setup of pouches is about the same price. I dont know what size you are but I have a plate carrier with pouches that I will sell you for $100 it is in mulitcam, and it is for smaller build guys like myself. The front pouches are sewn on and are not removeable but the bakc area has some molle webbing for stuff.

That for $100? Go for it, First. I'm almost positive you won't find greater quality for a price around that.

DIBS!!
Just Kidding. Its still for <> First Sergeant &.

Ok thanks Ganef i will look at my budget and i will PM you. But im 6'2'' and like 195 and i wear 38 waist do you think it will fit ? If not do you have any others for around that price?
-
It may not work for you, I am 6'1" 156lb with a 32" waist.
This is a one time thing and any other ones I have are far more expensive.
-
Why do you want a plate carrier? Its pretty pointless for the most part(airsoft wise anyway), and because they are meant to hold armor they get a bit more expensive. If you are only looking to spend 100 bucks or so, I recommend a RACK of some kind.
What are you looking for as far as pouches? You could get a rack that holds mags from diamondback tactical for about 60 bucks, then order a few extra pouches from tactical tailor(who are having a sale, so you can get stuff from them for cheap). How many mags do you want to carry?
-
Um im carrying M4 variant and i wanna carry like 6-8 mags

Hey thx a lot Ganef and Raith that info helped out a lot !
-
How hard is it to get it all set up right like what positioning and stuff like that?
-
It just takes a little trial and error.
-
Pouch placement is a matter of personal preference. Like your mags on high on your chest? Fine, as long as you can access them with speed. If you have to fumble or it takes to long to do a proper reload, then you might want to consider putting the pouch in a different place. GP pouches don't matter much, unless you put mission critical stuff inside of them.
-
Ok cool thanks for the info
