Damn fine pictures.
What the hell are those things on the bottom of the 30 rd mags?

Those are magpuls.... unless you are referring to the pouch with the impd shotshell carrier, the two black protuberances are the bottom ends of MALICE clips.

Jeez, I thought the easter bunny brought chocolate eggs... next you'll tell me that Santa sent you an ACOG!

Wrong.
That is an Aimpoint, M2/ML2/M68, IIRC.
Santa is prohibited from transporting ACOGs due to the Tritium and associated NRC/DOT regs.

Thank you couldn't have done it without help from The Reaper and Military Moron, and Thank you for moving this to the appropriate forum.
Eggroll nailed it Master Sarn't.

That was Christmas 2 years ago....but yup Santa was good to me then...I must have gotten it before the no carring of NRC/DOT regs were enforced. :)

Correct sir that is an Aimpoint M2 compliments of MSTN
I always figured that Rudolph's Red Nose glowed so well because of all that tritium...

I thought that's what they were.
You getting old? Too weak to pull the mags from the pouch w/o aid of a magpull?? Amusing.
Once I pull a mag from anywhere it is positioned to be placed into the mag well of the weapon I'm using. As it is placed into the magwell I use with the same hard seating technique each and everytime. While you may have two fingers on a mag while engaging a "magpull" I have all five fingers engaged and that in it's self will will not result in a dropped mag. Each to his own.

I have the magpuls b/c the old mag pouch I had used to swallow the mag so much that unless you had a magpul or 550 cord on the base of the mag you would have to dig deep to get the mag out. With these new TT mag pouches I'm probably going to ditch the magpuls.

Good idea.
KISS works well with weapons. There is a point of diminishing returns for all that “high speed low drag” gear. Keep your weapons kung-foo simple. It saves memory on the hard drive and frees up memory needed to contemplate tactics

TS,
You are a kindred spirit. Mag-pulls are all the rage. They have replaced the 550 cord looped through the floor plate, which I also never did. They might be necessary in Joe's case, what with the glaze being so sticky and all. And that jelly!
:munchin
Happy Easter all. Felices Pascuas.
actually I have come to notice that differeing surface finishes on magazines affect how smoothly they can insert into a TT single shingle
USGI mags fit fine, with hardly any effort, while Singaporean steel mags with the rough parked exterior bind on the cordura material. Yeah yeah I know wussy ole' me, but I have those pulls placed on the singa's while in use with the TTs
-TR- Can you send me your snaily address I have a package shipping out to you soon.

DAMN! BUSTED!
I bet that any one of you, after 20 - 25 beers, could go into a totally black, dark bathroom and pull your zipper down, pull out your crank and not get any on the floor. As you should be able to pull fucking mags from pouches and reload weapons....even under stress. Or if your wife is screaming "get your ass back in bed or I'll call leroy" do you pee all over the floor?? Don't think so. Train hard sarge......and you'll get there.
