This olive Chinese Type 81 “Chicom” chest rig is a classic example of practical Cold War and post-Cold War load-bearing equipment, supplied here as a complete set with four AK47 magazines and 15 inert 7.62x39 rounds. The Type 81 variant represents a later development of the traditional Chicom design, adapted for improved capacity and compatibility with modernised Chinese service rifles.

Constructed from robust olive canvas, the rig features four fixed magazine pouches designed to securely accommodate standard AK-pattern magazines. Its lightweight yet durable construction ensures comfort in use, while the simple strap system allows for quick adjustment and reliable wear in the field. This straightforward and effective design contributed to its widespread use both within Chinese forces and in export markets around the world.

The inclusion of four AK47 magazines enhances the overall authenticity and display value of the set. Also included are 15 inert 7.62x39 rounds, each carefully fitted with inert primers. This means that not only is the propellant removed, but the primers themselves have been fully deactivated, ensuring there are no live or reactive components present.

Compliant with UK regulations (subject to local laws), this set is ideal for collectors of modern military equipment, AK-pattern gear, or those seeking a complete and visually striking display piece.
