Dahmer45 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) The VN mags are much shorter. They'll fall to far down into a normal pouch and you'll have difficulty getting em out. Edited May 19, 2008 by Dahmer45 Link to post Share on other sites
Fuser Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 If you want to run VN mags in regular M4 pouches, use Magpuls or Magpul ranger plates. Makes em pretty easy to yank out, they sit just above the lip: Â Â Obviously not appropriate for a Vietnam-based or specific past era loadout, but if you don't care about that, it works. It's what I do. Â I might add that if you have an AR built as a Recce or counter-sniper rifle, or even DMR, you might like VN mags better if you rarely go full auto, need something that's lower profile, go prone alot, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Heilage Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Only problem is, that makes each magazine very expensive. Which kinda sucks. Â But thanks for the input, guys. I think I'll buy an extra VN mag when I order, and I'll see what I like the best, and take it from there. Â (Can't wait to order.) Link to post Share on other sites
Vercingetorix Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 YOu can make paracord magpuls, or buy 12 regular magpuls for $25 on lightfighter.com or whatever the site is called now..... Link to post Share on other sites
Heilage Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Yes, I was thinking of making them myself. Use some strong type of thread, use the rills in the magazine to prevent bulges and fasten it with gaffa. Seems like a safe bet if I can get a hold of the magazine when it's in the pouch.

BoE.Solidius Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Just use some 51-50 cord, and OD or Tan tape you can get that from your local Sports store. Link to post Share on other sites
Heilage Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Sounds good. Thanks for the tip! Link to post Share on other sites
AnotherJesus Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I chopped up a cheepsoft sling I had laying around. Real stanag mag's are about 2cm longer than airsoft mags no? So how about padding the bottom of the mag pouch with something, to make them sit higher up. Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 just roll up a sock and place it in the bottom of the mag pouch. Link to post Share on other sites

Azulsky Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Yeah dont sleep at night, the XM might not be there in the morning, hehe  Also im not an expert but is that m733 barrel longer than what is usual?  Link to post Share on other sites
CapaciousZepher Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Definitely looks longer than 11.5". Some real nice rifles you have there, though. Â Cheers! Â - CapaciousZepher Link to post Share on other sites
luvs2shoot Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) thanks for the positive comments guys  also i think your right, the M733's barrel does look a little longer than it should. hmmm  in my opinion, the Xm and the M733 seem a lot longer in the pictures than when i am holding them.

Whitedingo Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I think it's a 12.5" barrel is why....proportions seem to be spot on for one. Link to post Share on other sites
