As far as the Micro Rig, I have thought about getting that since we are supposed to be in ASVs and I am a big guy to start off with, even when I am working out as much as I am supposed to. I want to keep my kit as small as possible. If the front is on velcro and the back one flips out onto the velcro, couldn't you use the rig in conjunction with a velcro sidesaddle platform? It seems that the front tray is attached just by velcro and then has a dummy cord type thing on the bottom, is that correct? Would that mean that it would also work as a sidesaddle, or I am stretching too much there?

You are correct, they come with a built in tether so that you don't loose or have to store an empty shell tray when you replace it with one from inside the magazine pouch. You also have the option of running them untethered to the magazine pouch so that you can pull them out on the fly and attach them directly to the weapon. In my opinion this is the ideal set up as it takes up very little space to store 24 shells and if you ever need to run M4 magazines, all you have to do is remove the shell trays from the pouch and insert your M4 magazines. You can even run M4 mags in the pouch with a shell tray velcro'd to the outside of the pouch if you're running a M4 and a breaching shotgun or even a full size shotgun as a secondary. It's a very efficient and quickly accessible way to carry rounds for both weapon systems.
