Montague Paratrooper top tube MOLLE cover

Quick little project for my 2001 Montague Paratrooper folding MTB. Used Singer 20U33, T70 thread, Camo Green Mil-spec nylon webbing in 1", 1.5" and 3.5" width, and 3/4" nylon binding. Black double bar buckles for the attachments on either end, and Ranger Green Velcro for the bottom attachments. I can lash long things like a bike tire inflator, tent pole sections, hiking poles, or a KaBar knife to the MOLLE between the Medic pockets up front and the rear, if I want to. As long as things are slim enough that they won't interfere with my pedaling. I'll make either Velcro wraps for the free strap ends, or elastic strap keepers.

Anybody ever cut Kevlar soft armor? I’ve got a design in mind if it’s possible

I have some IOTV shoulder protectors I want to trim into some more usable groin armor flaps. If the Kevlar could be trimmed and resealed and maintain its 9mm level of protection I’d be happy. Has anybody ever tried cutting soft armor panels?

They’re just too wide for my hips right now even if I wear it with a fanny pack strap instead of hanging from the plate carrier. It wouldn’t reach all the way down but a little protection over my lower stomach area would be great.

For the “don’t mod armor” crowd, I currently have zero armor under my front plate. So even compromised armor under that would be an overall improvement for me. There’s probably a reason I’m asking if I can make it myself instead of buying lol as my biggest threat is 9mm here

Europe Source for Taktic / Lindnerhof Buckle

Hey there, I am looking for an european source to get the National Molding Taktic Buckles which Lindnerhof (and Mehler) use on their plate carriers (they go by the name of Linderhof MX 498) and are available in 1"; 1,5" and 4". The picture shows the 4" variante.

So far I was only able to finde the individual buckles on U.S. Websites. You can order finished products with these Buckles (e.g. Lindnerhof) in europe but I wasn't able to find them individually.

If anyone can point me to a seller or knows where I can get some in europe I'd really appreciate it before I go and send Lindnerhof/ Mehler a desperate email lol

Thanks in advance!

Utg Mk1S Heritage: Haywood

This UTG Heritage backpack is built on our UTG DP Mk1 Slim platform using two original U.S. Army duffel bags—one manufactured in 1944 and the other in 1952.

The 1952 duffel is still stenciled with the name Haywood G. Ingle and service number 24984162. After researching military records, we believe it may have belonged to Haywood Graham Ingle, a North Carolina veteran who likely served during the Korean War era, although we're still looking for documentation that conclusively confirms the identification.

One of our goals with these builds is to preserve the history of these surplus bags rather than erase it. We leave the original names, markings, repairs, and character intact whenever possible, giving each backpack a documented story that continues with its next owner.

If anyone has experience researching 1950s Army service numbers or knows additional resources beyond NPRC and Fold3, I'd love to hear your suggestions.

UTG Mk1 Slim

Upcycling two old U.S. military-issued duffel bags.

One dates back to 1944.

These bags have been around. They've seen some things. And instead of ending up forgotten on a shelf, we're cutting them apart and giving them a new purpose.

Both are being turned into UTG DP Mk1 Slims—built for decades of more use.

Old material. New purpose. Same idea: gear was meant to be used.
