These shoulder bags were modeled after the WWII Submachinegun Ammunition bags made to carry Thompson and Grease Gun Mags. Often seen with Aviators and CIDG troops, sometimes seen with SOG / SEALS etc. Basically anyone needing to carry 30rd .45 ACP stick magazines could use these bags effectively. We have one left in VG+/EXC- used condition. . Learn More

You can carry M1 Garand Enblocs, M1 Carbine Magazines, a box of shotgun shells, 2 M14 Magazines and 3 to 4 M16 Magazines (soldiers often placed a bandage or sock underneath the M16 magazines to raise them to the top of the pouch). We have multiple grades available. Priced per pouch.
Fair (F): These are in very rough condition. They can have holes in the body and may be missing the suspender strap and or the side grenade loop straps, BUT they will still hold magazines and will have the main pouch closure intact.
Good (G): These are serviceable. They have seen heavy use and fading, and may have repairs or small holes, most have small wear holes in the corners. They are complete with grenade straps and suspender straps. Basically they are like the VG condition, just with more wear and fading. Perfect "Field Grade" beater pouches.
Very Good (VG): These are in better condition than the good. Overall they are in VG used condition with typical fading and wear from moderate usage, and may have heavier wear on the corners, but no major damage.
