Mag pouches for VN style m16/m4

[Saint_blackhand]

Hello all,
I was wondering what size of pouch would I use for vn short m16/m4 mags?
thanks for your time.

Any M16/M4 pouches would fit them fine. You'll have to dig a bit for them in anything other than shingles, though, what with the VN mags are on the short side.

I use a frag pouch for my VN mag,s. And i found a small radio pouch work,s to. You can get both in molle

Thx, so you say frags are short enough to get at the mags easy?
I have thought of filling the pouch with paper but that woudl get wet and what not.

I use m67 or m56 20rd mag pouches(my old issue)
they will hold 3 mags with no problems
and 4 if you force them

Sorry forgot to post that they need to be molle pouchs

DBT makes some shorty shingles, excellent quality at an affordable price.

A C-7 bandaleer will work also

M-56 or M-67 universal small arms pouches are perfect.

Also, http://mooremilitaria.com/prod03.htm M16 bandoleer will hold 7. I prefer the pouches though as they dont swing around as much and are more secure.

If you are going to be putting the VN 20 round mags into a mag pouch designed for 30 round mags or in the case of of M56 ammo pouches M14 mags put a rag or something on the bottem so the 20 round mags sit higher up.

Bandoleers add bad ass factor though
Frag pouches work well, but I think they hold one mag at a time.

If you do use the pouches for the 30 round mags you can stuff some old socks or a block of wood in the bottom. Worked in 'Nam, should work now.

*edit* Mikel beat me to the sock idea.

I too use the sock idea for stuffing me G&P VN midcaps into regular MOLLE double mag pouches.

Any normal M4 pouch with a small block of wood / Styrofoam works wonders.
