Modifying a Velocity Scarab PC to accept a PIG cummerbund

[jpmuscle]

Call/email Velocity Systems and ask for them to make you a modified Scarab. I'll bet they'd probably do it, especially if you're looking to just run an APC bund.

I had a Scarab a while back (Gen 1- I see they changed the shoulder straps on yours). The original shoulders straps were way to long, so I asked them for a custom set. Turns out the new correct length straps were already being made, and they sent me a set, *but* they did listen to what I wanted. So, maybe drop them a line?

I inquired about deleting the front kangaroo pocket all together and having nothing but loop on the front panel. They we're receptive to doing so but the up charge was pricey. But they'll do semi custom stuff.

I've already owned the PC for a year, so I guess I'll just try it out and see the outcome...

That would be ideal, imo.

I was quoted at $354 to do it fyi.

OP (or anyone else for that matter) send me a PM if you are still working on this. I am a Velocity Systems dealer and may be able to help you out. Also I can inquire about that Scarab without the roo pouch if anyone is interested. I'm sure the price will be better than $354.

Drummer,

Clear out your PM box and I'll drop you a line.

Any update? I'm considering switching to a Scarab and would go without the kangaroo pouch if it was an option. OP, what exactly didn't you like about the cummerbund? That it couldn't hold soft armor?

It can be done. Price is going to be right at $300 with the customization. PM me if you want to go over it in more detail.

I'm still in for one. Just trying to figure out some details still. Namely plate size.
