Allen Dail Posted February 21, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2012 Hello I picked this pouch up today and wanted to get your opinion on it. It is marked on two of the retaining straps but I can read all of the numbers. It doesnt have a nsn but some mfn and number. Is this a issue piece or aftermarket or made for surplus market type gear.

asianairborne Posted February 22, 2012 Share #3 Posted February 22, 2012 Looks after market. The color of the nylon and the flimsy ALICE clips throw this one away for me. Lets see what others think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotlead Posted February 22, 2012 Share #4 Posted February 22, 2012 Looks LBT or US Cavalry or some other aftermarket outfit, it's cool that it's adjustable for frag or illumination rounds. Wanna sell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
