Out of state training with low cap mags
I did a class recently in PA (with HE but he cheated) and I used only my 15/30 Pmags. I certainly ran low on. Couple of occasions but never ran out. It also helped me learn good ammo management and how to backfill my emergency pouches. I had a total of 9 mags. (5 on my chest, 2 on the belt, 1 in my dump pouch, 1 in the gun). I also downloaded each to 13 rounds to load in closed bolt. I say do it if you have the means to hold them, if not do what Midwest said.

Chest rigs
Thanks man. I just know where to look. TT has ACU stuff 30% off and most of the other stuff like the plate carrier I got used. Most people don't really put this stuff to hard use so its in good condition. The PC was $125 barely used. It retailed at one time for 300+

Chest rigs
Pretty much finished with my plate carrier (except for the plates oddly enough lol) Here's a break down: T.A.G. Releasable plate carrier Tactical Tailor escape and evasion pouch. (will be used as my admin pouch to hold chemlights and other misc supplies TT m4 pouches x 5 Blue Force Gear TQ NOW with CAT TQ On the back I have a 3L hydration bladder in a T.A.G. molle hydration carrier and a Diamondback Tactical utility pouch. I'd say I put this all together for around $200

What are your top 5 AR mods/accesories?
I have a ambi CH but Ive found doing this does change the position if the latch and doesn't catch. Or I can just cinch it up a little tighter on my chest. It would only catch on one of my mags if I just let it hang without adjustment. Is a magpul? I tried those for a while. Wasnt a bad sling but I think the vtac I bought well worth the upgrade cost. If you REALLY want the ability to go to 1 pt mode IWC makes a triglide adapter that you can use with any qd attachment point. I have one on my sling "just in case" but have never used it.

Agreed. Single point slings are not the ideal way to carry the gun. I'm surprised you didn't have to wear a cup. I have had my CH catch on my chest rig when slung over my chest but I think thats just me needing to be more conscientious of my gear.

Constant single handle manipulation can bend it up pretty good making it inoperable. I quickly switched over to the bcm gunfighter handles which I really liked. I now use the raptor ambi handles. If the gun is mostly a range gun a GI handle is more than adequate. If you put more milage on your gun I'd go with a bcm or raptor.

Ar15 zero with ever changing ammo
I would zero with the ammo I use most. If you pop in SD ammo at home you still have to worry more about offset than poi from ammo. I don't even bother buying m855 cause a lot of places you can't even shoot it.

building my first AR. what "must have" items are i missing?
Well the sewn in swivels usually have the buckles on it. Its more like qd or threaded through for the vtac or vcas. I don't think the buckle isnt really necessary for what I do. If you put the sling webbing through the tri glide correctly you won't have to worry about it sliding free. I do like the qd swivels just for ease of use and mounting options.

Same thing with the standard vtac and the larue vtac. It just gets you out of the sling faster if you need to

How many rounds...
With the help of my peers here Ive set my handgun bar at 5 and rifle at how ever many I can afford. I'm around 10-15 now.

AR Build Questions, Guidelines, and Suggestions
Wilson combat. He was asking how their lpk was I'd just buy a lpk from stag or spikes and get an extra fire control group if your other shits the bed. Or get a DD or Colt kit if you want to spend money

Are you talking about the LaRue version of the vtac sling? The extra plastic buckles are there in case you need to get out of your sling in a real hurry ie drowning with your gear in after falling off a boat. It also adds some length to the sling

Re: the iwc triglide, I have one ony sling "just in case" but I'm VERY doubtful there will ever come a time when I'll use it. A quick adjust 2pt is so much more comfortable and easy to use.
-

+1 on Vtac or Vickers sling. I have 2 vtac padded with the qd swivels. I like them a lot.
