GBRS released last week their new Modular Chest Rig (M.C.R.), a low-profile, minimalist tactical gear designed with the latest advancements in tactical engineering. Masterfully adaptable, this rig is meticulously crafted with bridges, "I" joints, and "W" joints, empowering users to create custom setups with ease. From operators to enthusiasts to professionals, this rig is for all.
The M.C.R. offers two distinct versions: HVY (Heavy) and LTE (Light). Regardless of weapon preference, the rig provides a rock-solid foundation for your gear. It features reinforced mounting points constructed from 8-Layer Tegris, ensuring durability even in the most demanding situations.
Engineered to be lightweight and flexible, the M.C.R. integrates B52 and Squadron Laminate. This ensures users maintain agility while keeping essential items within arm’s reach. It is not just a piece of gear; it is a precision-engineered system crafted with the user’s demands in mind.
GBRS says the M.C.R. is more than just a piece of gear; it is an embodiment of adaptability and that it is built for those who demand the absolute best from their equipment. The modular design and adaptable joints allow users to easily switch between pouches, holsters, and accessories to meet their changing needs.
