big old carbine mag pouch

Can you tell us about them please Jim?

[browningautorifle]

tell us about them

Yes, the link will show all, if we look back in the forums there was a picture heavy thread of makers and variations. I think originally the pouch was supposed to hole two thirties and resupply of clipped ammo. I think guys just loaded them up with mags instead.

Here's one thread identifying pouches by maker. https://www.milsurps.com/showthread....ht=mag+pouches

according Larry L. Ruth's book "War Baby comes home" J.Q.M.D. was the only wartime manufacturer in 1945. There is an undated mag pouch in Ruth's book.
