    Default Sidemount or Stage Bottle Alternative to Buttplate

    $30 shipped

    I can do a custom size for an additional $2. This is an alternative to a buttplate for sidemounting, CCR Bailout sidemounting, or even just to carry a stage while in Backmount.



    This is the spreader (as I call it) shown against a Nomad buttplate for size.

    Those pics are HUGE, and I'm having a hard time visualizing what you have. I'm interested in getting into sidemounting. Where does this "spreader" go? Is that the crotch strap? Also, what "customization" is available/necessary?

    Sorry for the nooby questions.

    Yes, it goes on the crotch strap. I will get some more pictures in a day or so that show it on a person. As far as customization, I can make it longer or shorter.

    If someone wants something else we can talk about a custom item. Custom Items are something I really like to do, and the cost is very reasonable. I have also made the spreader in a double version with two d-rings on each side.

    I will also shrink the pics.

    Nice sewing. Do you need the tri-glide if you are sewing it tight? Just curious..

    The tri-glide or slide stop (whatever you want to call it) prevents the D-Rings from folding flat against the webbing. This is done so the D-Rings will stay in the same spot and "be there" when you reach back for them to clip on a tank.

    Hope that makes sense.

    That does make sense. I see it now. Thanks
