GUTTERRATT Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) I have acquired a m3 ammo bag with a shoulder strap. Can some one tell me how many 30rd GG magazines these pouches were designed to carry. Here is a picture.. http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh468/gutterratt-2009/other%20firearms%20and%20data/m3ammobag-2.jpg Best Regards Bob M.

GUTTERRATT Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) 8 m3 & 6 TSMG mags. jim c aren't the M3 mags bigger than the Thompson mags ?

jim c 351 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 The TSMG mags have the rib on the back. Thats what takes up the room. Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff51 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 The ones that I have (made of nylon) only hold 6 mags. These were supposed to be Vietnam issue. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its canvas though. If I stack them side ways to front it holds 6 loaded mags no problem but there is a little room for jiggling around. If I stack them facing forward it will hold 8, 2 deep and 4 across but the top is hard to fold over and I don't think I can close it if they are loaded, I haven't tried yet anyways. I didn't know if they were meant to hold just 6 or if the pouch had shrunk over the years... Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNGUY45 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 We had them as part of our gear on M60A1/M60A3's in the late 70's/early 80's, we kept 8 mags in them, and never could get them to snap easily.... However, a Stanley stainless thermos fits in them just fine, we were issued those too. Ever hear of Gluwein? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M60A1/M60A3's are 56 ton tanks, we had 2 Grease guns issued to each tank. http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/gunguy45/01-vi.jpg That's 8 loaded Grease gun mags(when they let us have ammo), in each pouch, again darn near impossible to close. I have a pouch just like it upstairs, with 6 mags in it, they fit my Stemple, the 6 rattle around, with more than enough room for 8, but I can't close it even with 6 in. http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/gunguy45/REISING/DSC01714.jpg http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/gunguy45/REISING/DSC01712.jpg Pete A.
