JonWienke 131 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I've searched the forum here and ebay and amazon and not finding anything available I like for mag pouches that will hold the csspecs 8-round mags. I'm not excited about the tacos because they don't enclose the mags--would prefer more protection from ambient dirt, and I question a mag holder that is only half as long as the mag. And they are expensive. I liked the molle c-mag pouches that cheaperthandirt used to carry, but they all seem to have been discontinued and nobody has them any more. I have some actual beta pouches, but don't care for the alice clip mount, i want molle for less wiggle and more secure attachment. And the lid closure on the beta pouches is funky--easy to open quick, but not so easy to re-close quickly one-handed if you don't want your remaining mags to fall out. Am I being too picky, or is there a better option out there? Or does someone out there still have some of the CTD molle pouches? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Try tonystactical.com Usually has a decent selection of surplus gear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JonWienke 131 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I found this on Amazon: Propper 10 x 6 Stretch Dump Pocket with Molle If the specs are accurate, it should hold 2 8-round mags in similar fashion to the "taco"--elastic at top, but supporting a lot more of the mag than the "taco". I'll update further once I receive them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Romy 2x2 or 4x4 leather AK mag pouches are a good fit for secure carry. If you want faster speed, you'd probably want to cut off the flap. If the leather is still good they can look very good, however a lot of those seem to be pretty crusty now. Look for any pouches designed around a 20 round 308 battle rifle magazine and you will probably find something you like. CETME, FAL, M14, HK91/G3... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonWienke 131 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I have a bunch of the German surplus G3 dual mag pouches. The csspec mags ft fairly snug, but an awful lot of the mag sticks out of the top. You'd have to cut the cover flaps off and trust the friction fit is good enough. Also, I wanted molle mount. preferably FDE/tan to go with the gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SGL 530 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I really like using the Romanian RPK pouches with the shoulder strap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonWienke 131 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 The Propper pouches are pretty meh--the actual pouch is constructed from some thin spandex material I wouldn't trust to hold the weight of 2 loaded mags, especially in conditions where the pouch would be subjected to being bumped or scraped. I'm going with the German G3 pouches with the top flap cut off--they're much sturdier and hold the mags pretty securely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou the Jew 5 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I am going to try the Magpul claymore for a similar set up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonWienke 131 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 These MOLLE pouches fit 5 8-round mags almost perfectly: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019MT52M The only downside is that they weigh 10-11lbs when filled with 5 fully loaded mags.

netpackrat 566 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 It's kind of an expensive option, but I have a medium "Shoulder Utility Bag" from Sneakybags with a couple of the double cell "universal inserts" that hold CSSpecs .308 magazines just fine. I am sure they would work with 12 gauge magazines as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonWienke 131 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 This bag also works pretty well for holding 5 mags: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DTL4JE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
