Abstract: A modular chest rig may include a back plate assembly configured for positioning on a back of a user, a chest plate assembly configured for positioning on a chest of the user, a pair of shoulder strap assemblies configured for positioning on respective shoulders of the user and for removably coupling the chest plate assembly to the back plate assembly, a plurality of joint assemblies configured for being removably coupled to the chest plate assembly by MOLLE straps, each of the joint assemblies including a plurality of loops configured for receiving the MOLLE straps therethrough, and a lower-back strap assembly configured for positioning on a lower back of the user and for removably coupling to respective loops of a first joint assembly and a second joint assembly of the plurality of joint assemblies.

Abstract: A multi-accessory mount assembly for use with a firearm, and methods for coupling the assembly to the firearm are provided. The assembly may include a proximal portion having a lower surface configured to be removably coupled to the firearm and an upper surface configured to be removably coupled to a sub mount. The sub mount may be configured to be removably coupled to a first firearm accessory, e.g., an optic scope, a red dot sight, a reflex sight, a night vision monocular or scope, or a magnifier. The assembly further may include a distal portion extending distally from the proximal portion via a neck portion, such that the distal portion is elevated higher than the proximal portion. An upper surface of the distal portion may be configured to be removably coupled to a second firearm accessory, e.g., an infrared laser or a night vision monocular or scope.
