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.

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.

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!



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.
