Reconfiguring the G-70 arm bracket for back-mounted vest compatibility

19 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The G-70 arm bracket can be repositioned by pulling out a pin and aligning the mating parts into one of two possible positions.
  • The 'in' position configuration works better when using the mounting armature and socket block oriented for back-mounted vests.
  • Repositioning the bracket is the same operation as switching between regular and goofy foot stance.
  • The two-position bracket feature is specific to the G-70 arm, also referred to as the kickback link.

Depends on

  • The exact disassembly procedure for the arm beyond the bracket repositioning was not detailed in the discussion.
  • No comprehensive manual section covering full arm disassembly for cleaning was provided or confirmed to exist.
