My Swiss Arms Grab And Go Setup

[archer550]

Okay dudes,
This being a new forum i'd really like to see grow i thought now would be a good time as ever to whore out some pics of one of my guns.

Basically the philosophy behind this setup is being able to react to a threatening situation quickly and efficiently. For now it is my main HD and BOB firearm. Although not shown in the pictures the first two mags (coupled together mags) will be frangible rounds. Right now all ammo in the pictures is 69 gr SMK loaded fairly hot. Although they have tonnes of anti-personnel capability, over penetration is a big issue with in a home defense scenario. For now shot placement is aboslutely essential let's hope i never have to use it anyways.

Onto the pics.





Okay on to the contents:
Basically this is a small BOK (blow out kit) as you can see its a cf issue field dressing
and some tape and gauss and scissors.
(i need a true med pouch mine is pretty make shift and hard to get in the dump pouch, but for now i'll have to make do)


Zip-Cuffs, flash light and my mag loader is burried in the bottom.
(any recommendations for a AA based tactical flashlight? something affordable)


Double stack AR mag pouchs hold single Swiss mags pretty perfectly.


Repack kit 6 pockets x 20 rounds each on 10 round strippers
(i know, i know why would i ever need full battle rattle as a civi but this is also my bandoleer for bug out so....)

69 Grain SMK's


And as for the last item, we'll see who ever guesses it's use first gets a billion make believe sheepdog points!


And a little teaser of the stuff i have to throw my bob together with maybe over the weekend


So that's basically it. Like i said i need a true med pouch so i can ditch the dump pouch. I'd also like to pick up a Vicker's Sling. And a true tacitcal AA based flashlight. (maybe a newer drill )

You're on the way, eh?

Nice kit man - simple, not too gotti, practical.

You know, there's such a thing as practicality within TACTICAL kit. Nice to see.

hm.. Ever had any issues with the folding stock?

I've heard that sometimes if your not ontop of it the bolts come loose and it'll start to crack the joint over time.

Although that being said, ive never used one, so this is just rumour to me.....

YOW,
Thanks I try to keep the KISS principle in mind whenever i'm looking to purchase new kit. IMO the less you have to carry the more mobile you will be and in a civilian situation mobility is everything. (what did you mean by your on your way? )


Citrus,
I haven't had issues with that at all yet.
And to be honest i doubt i ever will
This rifle is with out a doubt the best made firearm i've ever held. everything was thought of and i doubt that'd they'd (san) let a QC issue like that go unchecked.
p.s. next weekend gonna do some real run and gun in pairs with this exact setup.
i'll be sure to grab pic's!!

More stock questions.

Ive noticed theres a cut out in the stock, which means that there couldnt POSSIBLY be a full sized spring on the inside to absorb shock....Do you find that stock hard on your shoulder???

[archer550]

unlike an ar15 the spring runs along the top of the barrel, its about 12" long. I do find that the recoil impulse is slighty higher then your average ar 15 but that is unrelated to the spring issues. it is because of the long stroke piston operation, i could take some pics of it broken down and explain it that way if you want?

[citrusawesome]

nah no pictures required, i know what you mean

Not a bad rig at all. Looks real smooth.

As for the AA "tactical" flashlight, I have this to say: Don't cheap out. If it's a light you intent to mount on your iron, a cheap one will only provide hassle.

Something else I noticed is the mag-loader you've got in your kit. Now, I've never loaded Swiss arms magazines, but is a loading tool actually required to charge them? If not, it seems like just another little bit to break or lose and add weight.

And I have absolutely no idea what the drill might be for.

Nice kit you got there! I've love to see your BOB when you've got it all put together.
I can't imagine what you would use the drill for...boarding your windows? To use as a brutal secondary weapon? =P

As for a AA flashlight, look at the Fenix LD20. Depending on your needs, it may be what you're looking for. Personally, it's my favourite out of all the flashlights I've owned. The accessories and head band designed for the LD20 are quite useful as well.

[archer550]

Farva: I definetly appreciate quality kit and will probably lookin at picking up a light once cash is more prevalent for me haha. I'm still not sold on mounting on the gun.... but i guess if it's dark at night it is necessary for positive target id. As for the loading tool, it is not neccesary to charge mags but.... it really speeds things up when loading 30 rounds* into mags as for weight i think its prolly around 1-2 grams its really really tiny.

Aznpos531: Im really interested in that flashlight any canadian online dealers? and no haha although hilarious it is not my secondary weapon
