jerry_k Posted July 27, 2011 Share #83 Posted July 27, 2011 Standard holster with white ammo loops. The great thing is that every rigger modified holster is a little bit different than another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinb Posted September 13, 2011 Share #97 Posted September 13, 2011 Here's what I think is a rigger made pouch for smoke signals. Two MK1 MOD 0 signals fit it perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babaou Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share #99 Posted September 17, 2011 Hello guys, Nice rigger made pocket Robin ! I think you're right it was probably used to carry Mk1 signals. Here is a new item. It is a US Navy survival machete CASE XX stored in a rigger made pocket with a strap to wear it on the shoulder. The pocket was made cutting the part containing the machette inside a USN M-592 survival back pack and using other parts from the same pack on which are the snap fasteners to make the shoulder strap.
