WANTED SAS ammo pouch

[RAPPLEBY2000]

(SWAP NOW IN PROGRESS)

Hi after this army pouch, in any condition (i.e. with worn material, holes bit's missing etc)
just wondered as people have all sorts in the back of cupboards getting dusty!
like this one:

(I know you can buy them, but I'd rather do a deal that will help a fellow Bushcrafter )

Cheers
Rich
I have loads of bits to swap

 

[RAPPLEBY2000]

anyone got one?

 

[Melonfish]

no idea about the older sas ones but standard 58 pattern webbing is still available at places like elliot military etc.
silvermans might be a place to try, perhaps even endicotts?

[RAPPLEBY2000]

How's this?

I did a pic from the front too, but I've lost it . The pouch was from Survival Aids a looooong time ago, but has never been used apart from a bit of posing around the house.

Incidentally they are designed to seperate (the originals anyway, I'm not sure if the Survival Aids copies do). If you unpick the stitches between the pouches two sections there's just a thin tape at the top which is easily cut through. I picked up a damaged pair when I was making up a belt order for the eldest lad to play in and being for smaller mags they don't look over large on a (then) 8 year old.

Not quite understood , do you mean so you'd have 2 separate pouches? or 1 large one?

either way it seems pretty well thought out, you'd then all of a sudden have a much bigger pouch for machine gun link or two smaller pouches would be useful too.
(not that I'm going to do that)

 

[tombear]

Sorry!, I should have been clearer, you end up with two small pouches. Heres a pic

There used to be a altimeter pouch insted of a 58 pat compass pouch but at Beltring one year a chap offered him 15 quid for it! The belt is a 44 pat with the centre section cut down and the various gubbins removed. The SAS pouches had the drop loops damaged so I cut them off and sewed tape over the raw ends..

Pouch/es recieved from Claudiasboris today:notworthy

thanks for the explanation tombear, I can't see myself doing it but always useful to know! shame about the altimeter pouch!

So READY? (on the pouch back) what for?

 

[tombear]

READY is our totally inappropriate surname since we never are, well not without me screaming alot and running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

That altimeter case has a rust stain on it, I kept the minter... ;-{D)

Oh no! I had a friend with surname "Pardon" you can imagine the problems he had at school especially during registration!

A-ha a wise move! I've done that with a few bit's of kit myself!
