M73 Pouch

[wildrover]

I've just (finally) picked up a Francis Barker M73 Compass and reckon It should live a nice pooch.

I quite like the 58/37 pattern ones that I have seen on e-bay. They do seem to go for good money though.

So...has anyone found a good pouch from Max-P, Blackhawk or 5.11 etc that fits and protects well?

Might fit in a maxpedition barnacle. Or you could get one of the makers on here to make you a leather one.

You can still get '58 pattern pouches which are good. Alternatively try a grenade pouch, not smoke grenade, and line it with neoprene or alternatives. I did have a leather one a number of years ago but haven't seen one again.

I have a 58 patt one you can have if you want it.
It's a bit dirty/dusty but is in good condition.
If you want it just pm me your address and I'll send it to you.
