Now lots of companies out there offer a product just like this. So you can pick these up pretty much virtually anywhere. But I'm gonna walk you guys through what we offer as far as a molle placard. It's exactly what it sounds like. It is a field of molle that you can use as a placard. It has some attachment methods. So you can add it to your favorite plate carrier or you can even run it as a small little chest rig and then put whatever you want on the front. But most people are probably going to be running this as some sort of placard on their plate carrier. So what you get out of the box is this cover that goes on the back. I will say this is the Velcro loop field that has the natural material on the backside of the Velcro itself. It's kind of rough. It's not super comfortable. It's just to prevent this from catching on to your clothing if you wear this like on top of a jacket.

It is not the same flap that is included on the 5.56 Carbine Placard or on the Triple Flap Placard or our chest rigs, which is much more comfortable and has Cordura on the back. But most people are not going to be using this against their body. So we made the material a little bit cheaper so we can save you guys some money. What you have included are G-Hook buckles for clipping this in nice and low vis onto certain kinds of carriers. You will also have Swift Clip buckles, which is the most common mounting method. But we also have our molle row attachment system, which is essentially just horizontal molle on the front of a plate carrier and all four of these little pieces of molle can thread into that. So this can attach directly to the carrier without needing the buckles or the G-Hooks themselves. So I'm going to go ahead and take these off.

And now I can use my four molle strands to attach to a plate carrier, such as a Crye plate carrier or ours or something that has a similar form factor on the front. You'll also see that on our molle front flap, we have three chest rig loops. So this is so you can attach various plastic hardware, such as ITW, little hooks and things like that. Or if you do want to attach a chest rig and get four split bar buckles, you can do that if you're creating some weird little sniper reload out or something like that. And you want to mount different kinds of pouches, you can absolutely set this up for that.

Now you'll see that there's molle that is lasered all the way through. So in this case, I have three different pouches and this Tier Tactical pouch so that I can run this as sort of a DMR load out, run all three on the front, use any sort of magazine. This is where there's enough molle here on the front that you can kind of specify some different height, depending on your equipment or depending on the pouch itself. So I would mount this one so that the pouch is sitting all the way to the bottom, like so, and the same with this tier tactical pouch. I would thread it kind of right here and the pouches are gonna sit like so.

Now I have a placard right here that I already have built out. So it's sort of a specialized load out and that's where a product like this is very useful if you're trying to create something that someone does not already make in a completed form. So in this case, I have a single mag pouch that holds a bolt action, short action magazine, one of my AICS magazines, or in this case a PMAG SR25 pattern magazine so that I can use it with one of my DMRs or sniper rifles. I then have a Crye three molle wide pouch, which fits my SIG range finding binoculars. So I don't have to run a full Bino harness on top of my kit.

And then I have one of our SIP pouches here on the side, fitting my Kestrel, which I use fairly often. So this little rig right here kind of gets me going. I have my range finding binos, very easy to get to. I have my Kestrel if I need to pull wind or some other environmental information or look at my range card or my target card. And then I have a single magazine, which is probably all I'm gonna be training with while I'm at the range doing long range drills. Well, let's go ahead and mount this to an AC0 and kind of see what that looks like. So on the back, I have my SwiftClip buckles. So I can clip this into my other plate carrier, but in this case, I'm gonna be threading this onto the AC0. So I don't need these buckles.

So I'm gonna remove them. It's much easier to attach this with everything removed. So there we go. I've got my specialized placard attached to my AC0. And it's all set up, ready for whatever long range training I may be doing. So I can just have a little bit of stuff. I don't need like an insane crazy loadout. And when I don't need this, I can always take these pouches off or I can add two regular rifle mag pouches and just have something pretty straightforward. If you have any other questions about this particular product and its compatibility with other products on the market, including various Malice pouches that can go on the front, go ahead and email us at team@trex-arms.com.
