-MOOSE- Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 There are many brands that offer pouches to fit into the cummerbund flaps of their respective plate carriers. Of course, some of these will fit into other plate carriers besides their own brand. Mayflower, LBT, and DBT are just a few that make this type of pouch. I'm sure that you can find other brands. I must say, the homemade one in the pictures does look very good. It was probably a much cheaper addition rather than the actual brand name pouch, while serving the exact same purpose. Nicely done!

You can also get individual kydex inserts. Esstac makes some pretty popular ones: http://www.skdtac.com/Esstac-556-KYWI-Kydex-Wedge-Insert-p/ess.213.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmypie Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) It works, and not just for m4 mags, ak47, mp5, sig552 to name a few , I'm rolling with that rig tmrw , so there may even be a pic or two of me wearing it Edited January 21, 2012 by Jimmypie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 You can try this one too: http://www.toysoldier.com.hk/product_details.php?pid=267 You will also find it in their ebay shop, when they reopen after the Chinese New Year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shardik Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 How have you managed to keep the mags in the flap? Are they just sitting there or in there something actually keeping them in place? Does the surefire need any modification to attach to Molly like that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ashman Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 DIY my friend , i had a velcro backed triple M4 mag pouch that used to go into a Blackhawk rifle/carbine case, a little modification and she sits in there perfectly, it has elastic retention like all BHI and Eagle double mag pouches, i dont really need the DIY bungee retainers for pmags, but my GI style ones jump about a bit. Ill get some pics up at some point if your that interested? Cheers Jim. If you could mate that would be awesome, I have spare pouches all over the place. I tried fitting one in 'just is' the other week but it just wasn't right. Would be interested to see what you have done. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robinio Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I somewhat wonder how people survive with only 3-4 mags, unles it's hipcaps I usually use midcaps with ~30Rounds in em and have atleast 6-8 on my rig... I wish I could buy a FAPC but as everyone else, my economy sucks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Well 30 rounds is a realcap isn't it? I always run mids with between 75 and 120 per magazine, so 4 or 5 is plenty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robinio Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 What I ment I use 120 round mid caps but I put ~30 bbs in them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-MOOSE- Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Robinio: It's all about the way you shoot. I used to carry only 4 mags, and that was enough, now I tend to carry a total of 6 just because I'd rather have a little more. Some days I will barely shoot through a whole mag, and yet I do come into contact with the opposing force and "kill" some of them. I use midcaps that I load to about 90 BBs. Some people like spraying, others like to only shoot when they are absolutely sure of getting a hit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RIXX Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 do you have any pic showing MEU 2004 using Black ops PC...would be a great photos collection e.g. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Or you could go with the S&S 6094 kangaroo pouch. Throw the money down for me, and I'm willing to go with it.Versus the $18 for KYWI's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SYSTEMA/STU Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 hi all please forgive me if i have posted in the wrong section just need some advice to finish off my plate carrier. i have seen some pics lately of us forces hanging alice pouches and water bottles off there molle carriers and various rigs . i quite like the look and was wondering if any of you guys have done the same ?. do you use the alice clips or some sort of cable tie method or do you use a propper alice to molle adapter. i have noticed that there is a alice to molle adapter but can not find anyone who stocks these in the uk. some fantastic pics on here of you carriers thanks for sharing them i will add mine when its all finished Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EndlessNameless Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think strong cable ties are the best method. I got some MOLLE>ALICE adaptors in my Safariland ELCS kit but found thy just made the pouches stick out too far from the vest and flap about. The belt replacement bit is just not thick enough to stop the ALICE clips moving around. Found it was better off using other methods. Could also give paracord a go but might be a bit more fiddly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wingmann Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 There are plastic MOLLE loops that you could use with the fabric bands in the rear of regular ALICE pouches. It shouldn't be too hard to adapt them some way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-MOOSE- Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 MALICE clips will keep everything secure no matter if you use MOLLE, ALICE or a mix of both. They can be a pain to thread into MOLLE but they will not move after they are locked in, same with ALICE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SYSTEMA/STU Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) cheers for the advice on the plastic clips i will take a look at getting some of these they look rock solid and think these will do the trick Edited January 28, 2012 by SYSTEMA/STU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
