    Saving an m16 magazine pouch.

    While at of all things a second hand airsoft store I found this.
    Attachment 91224
    I find the stuff in the oddest of places sometimes but after I got it home i noticed this
    Attachment 91223
    Part of the snap for one of the grenade pouches is missing, now the part for the strap is still there so I got the thinking why don't i just replace the missing part but I have no idea what size or style of snap I should be looking for. So has anyone by chance had to do a similar repair and know what I need to get?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    M16 magazine pouch

    You do have a few choices, find a really damaged M16icon and salvage the snap or just look around and find another pouch. I started to collect the US military variationsAttachment 91231

    If you go to a shoemaker that repairs leather goods, he'll have a bucket full of the male portions and you can find a brass one that fits the very female portion you have. He'll then install it for a nominal fee...
