I think the thinner elastic does look a bit better. If you ordered it, I would change it. With respect to the elastic being over part of the back plate, t he Screen shots show it there.

Ammo Belt - Micro Tin Kits This is a new idea I'm trying for my 2026 troops. I have not trooped in this yet and I will post when I do for results. I wanted to try an alternative to my micro med/repair kits and put them in the Ammo belt. I know some folks have used the ammo belt for some storage before, but I had this idea for how to organize mine and not be visible for any kinds of troops. I was inspired by the notes in the Star Wars Ultimate Edition book that described what was in a stormtrooper ammo belt. I wanted to update my tool kit but also add rations and with a tool kit. I got a set of small 2"x1" tins with lids. These fit nicely in ammo compartments of the belt. These tins were painted white and then I added the cog sticker along with a theme sticker to identify what was in the tin. Depending on the troop, I can swap out what I think I will need in the belt. I have some different items I can swap out here in the belt. It's almost like a video game. I choose what I want to equip before I go out. In this lineup, you'll see I have a vial of water, a flashlight, a medical kit (medicine and band aid), a tape kit (contains a few strips of white duct or white electrical tape), a tool kit, and a tissue tin kit. (Over the last 20 years of trooping, I have found from time to time that I might need some tissue on a troop for a variety of reasons. I decided to add a tin kit for this.) I then added a strip of white duct tape on the back of the tin that was the same width of the tin. I cut the tape end off so it was about 1" longer than the tin. At the tip of the tape, I added a small piece of ABS that the tape covered at the top. The tiny ABS piece gives the tab just a little weight to make it curl forward. That way when the belt is on, the tape tabs don't stick out and aren't seen. And I can reach in and just grab the tab with my fingertips and pull the tin out. I could always take the belt off and get all the tins easily, but I wanted to be able to access them quick without needing assistance or have to take something off. I still have to test these tab pull outs on a troop, but I'm hoping they work. Here's the pic of what's inside each one. (I have a mini utility tool for cutting I am adding in here and working on how it will fit too.) I moved all the medicine I had in my micro kit to this tin. I did the same for the tool kit and added mini screw drivers too. The water is a something I thought would be good to have. Trust me, it's not for hydration. That would be laughable. However, a small thing of water could be helpful if I don't have any water close and need a gulp for taking some Advil. This small amount of water could also be used on a small armor cut or helping dab some tissue to wipe off a mark on the armor. I'm sure there's other uses for a small amount of emergency water that I'm not thinking of too. The water vial is not magnetic but fits fine. I just used velcro on the bottom of the bottle and a little piece at the bottom of one of the ammo compartments. I found a brand of flashlights called Olight on Amazon. They make a standard model in black and a Pro model in other colors like white. I got both to try them out. The Olight Pro is nice and has more light modes but is a hair too thick for fitting nicely in our belt compartments. The standard black Olight fits in fine! The lights are magnetic and also have a clamp so you could clip it to your armor if you wanted. The light has 3 levels of light and modes for spot, flood, and red light. After a troop is over and walking back to the car at night or if you need a little light on a troop, I have found this useful. The red light is nice if you clip this light on the back of your belt, so you are seen in the dark. The padded clamp is strong on these lights but not enough to put a dent or mark armor if you clamp it on. In my belt, I used the same earth magnets I used on my power packs on my back plate (see post above in this thread). I used the same concept of wrapping the magnets in some white duct tape to reduce the magnetic pull. I used double sided gorilla tape and put in one magnet in the middle and one at the bottom of the ammo compartments. This keeps the tins from falling out and keeps them in a balanced vertical position. I wanted "rations" to be an option on a longer troop. I found these Kind mini bars fit snug in the compartments but do fit. They also taste pretty good for an energy bar! I trimmed a little off of the bottom part of the wrapper so that doesn't stick out, and I can use the top of the wrapper as my tab to pull it out. If I know I'll have access to a water bottle on a troop from a host, but need a little energy, I'll simply drop out my mini water and put in the ration(s) instead. Or I might drop out the tissue tin and keep the mini water with the ration. It's nice to be able to swap out the pieces. Here's what it looks like installed. I don't think any of these will be visible to anyone when the belt is on. I still have to test this to verify. I also did a weight check on all of these with my food scale. Total weight on most of the combinations is anywhere from 3.7 - 4.2 ounces. Even with all ammo compartments filled, it should be light enough to not affect the belt position. Again, I'll post notes here to verify this works fine on a troop once I use it. I plan to just leave the tins in the belt since the magnets hold them fine. I have a pouch in my tub that has the other tin kit options if I want to swap them out. Hope this works! I really like this idea.

Hello Larry. Thank you for your request! I have to ask you to be patient with us, as this week has been difficult due to family and personal matters. We will process your request as soon as possible. Thank you again for your patience!

Members build threads are the only guide to how things have changed over the years. When a CRL changes it is literally overwritten, so unless someone has downloaded one every time before it has been updated, there is no way to see. Also, we have transitioned to a new platform for all the CRL's Legion wide so to my knowledge there is no way to go back to see the old system either.
