AGC Buckle swap

[AustinL911]

How do those Wave hooks compare to the autolocks? I'm sure the autolocks are more steadfast in holding power, but they're also a taller profile. I kind of like the idea of the Wave hooks, but want to know that they hold just as well.

Thoughts?

I run ladder locks for the top buckles , Use a tri glide for the left side and a auto lock on the right

I hate autolocks. the first thing I do is cut the barbs off so they work normal.

I was successful just putting a tri-slide in above the buckles and looped back through it twice. I like the idea of just ladders and tri-slide there. Much less bulky.

Kifaru AutoLock buckles are the way to go. Support a great company and get a solid product.

I bought both the autolock buckles and gwave hooks from milspec monkey. I tried both out and can see tge attraction to both. I decided to stay with the g wave hooks and wound up doing all 4 buckles this way. I now have an easier on off with the AGC and it rides a bit higher and tighter for me and no issues with it coming undone or loose unless I wanted it to. I used this through my elk and full deer season as well as javi here in Az logging litterally over 100 miles walked by gps tracking and of course in and out of my jeep and the off and on daily of the harness and not one problem. I am extremely happy with this mod.

I'm interested in learning the easiest way to get my AGC to ride higher. Mine is stock and I cannot adjust it high enough to my liking with the buckles it came with. You mentioned yours rides higher now, with your modifications. Maverick351, could you post or send me some pictures of what you did, please? Thanks!

To get it as high as possible you need 2 split bar ladder locks (ITW GTLL Split Bar 154-0201 Ladderloc Coyote Brown)

i did ghooks also. seemed to be the cheapest and easiest setup. rides nice and high with no play.
i also cut slots with a dremel in the old buckles so i can always go back if needed.

Just installed the Kifaru autolocks as well. I was constantly having to re-adjust my harness. These things should work way better.

I have a KISS model with the smaller strsps. I just picked up some kuiu quick clips. They work great for the top straps. I will see how well they hold it tight and in position.
