Grab and go Pouch. Equipment & Gear :: AR15 30rd Grab & Go - Olongapo Outfitters First found this guy when I purchased M1 Garand items in 99. Great Gear, solid work, does it himself in his own shop.
Awesome, I see he does 7.62X51 pouches, been looking for something like that for quite some time! That and the Garand pouches options is seriously awesome, exactly what I'm after for my 1903! THANKS for the link, i'm gonna be making an order tomorrow!
U.S. made. Not cheap, but I've had an opportunity to test some of their gear and it's outstanding. High Speed Gear, Inc. ® | Battle-Proven Tactical Gear
I have a few of these and they are great for "day hikes" or patrolling the hood. 5.11 Tactical Bail Out Bag
Good point! Hated MOLLE, but honestly, the velcro wasn't much of a hassle, and not that loud, even when sneakin round in the dark, accessing a mag was usually not a stealthy prosess in the first place! What i'm finding hard to get is good 7.62 Pouches, and also Cartridge pouches for Stripper clip fed weps, speciffically the 1903, and while a WW1 or 2 Bandoleer is OK, I would like to find newer made gear for said! Garand Pouches are not quite right for the 1903, as they are designed to fit the clips vertically, and thus don't work for for a pair of 5 round stripper clips! Ugg, the search continues!
Cartridge Belt, M1923, Repro With serviceable originals nearing 100 years old, and over $100, this may be a decent option. I've never seen one of these repros, but it looks okay.
I like the off body shoulder bag for magazines. I'm not in uniform now and not likely to know who I might encounter on patrol. Without a worn rig to shed I can slip my shoulder bag into a recyclable grocery bag, sling my rifle under a jacket carried over my shoulder and look like just some guy passing through.
This is one of the reasons I like the Bandoleers! I always had issues with Chest rigs and vests, and I prefer to be more grey man!
This was the last rig I wore on active duty, fitted over a flak jacket. M9 in a flap holster off-center left front with extra mag pouches clipped on. The rifle mag pouches held power bars, cigars and clean socks. Regular issue cartridge belt snaps into the loops at the bottom to hang even more stuff on. Not a comfortable rig in hot weather.
