I was quite surprised at the quality of the cotton; looks like it could be slightly waxed. The pouches fit the magazines very well. The hardware/snaps appear to be good quality; we'll see how they hold up. All in all this is a well-made grab and go pouch for beer or G3/FAL magazines. Grenade pouches can hold pistol clips. Hope this outfit offers more quality cotton duck field items.

What you see is what you get. It is historically accurate and solidly made. Will hold 4 x 7.62 NATO 20 rd mags, plus a small first aid kit and radio or compass and such in the far end pouches. It could likely handle 8 x 5.56 30 rd mags (though you may not be able to snap the pouches closed, though I'm not certain on this). It does have a strong new chemical smell when it comes out of the packing. I left mine in outside to air for a couple days. I also modified the back strap a bit. The double buckle loop system to tighten the straps works fine (and matches the period of this design) but leaves a lot of excess strap to hang and deal with. I modified it right away by sewing in a short 1 inch wide nylon strap/belt attached to the supplied double metal loops to add a quick release plastic buckle. Then got the correct fit across the back and cut off excess we belt and re-sewed the end like it was. Much nicer that way with a quick release of the buckle at my waist to get out of the gear and no long dangling belt material hanging there. May add a bit of molle type attachment webbing to the shoulder straps so I can attach a knife pouch and tourniquet pouch.

I like this rig so far. It fits my M1A mags with ease. The snaps are of good quality.

Fits FAL mags perfectly. Good old school chest rig.

Looking forward to using it.

Ok quality not bad for air soft but would never last under serious use.

The item is well made but my big issue is that a newly manufactured reproduction came out of the box smelling like mildew.I collect milsurp so I know how to deal with it but some better storage before shipping would be a good idea.The straps are big enough to fit over a lower profile plate carrier makes it work well for airsoft if you like to dress up a little or if you have gotten a little husky unlike some South East Asian surplus equipment.

Works great for my M!A magazines. Loaded and ready to go!

Does exactly what it said it would. Really nice.
