GUNGUY45 Posted December 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 I've owned it since '95, or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeport28A1 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) I own four USMC RM Co Reising five cell pouches. I also have an unmarked five cell pouch that will accept Reising magazines but does not have exhibit characteristics of the RM Co pouches.I have never known what to make of if it as it is ever so slightly wider then any of my manufacturer marked Thompson five cell pouches and my unmarked web pouches that were returned along with the Russian lend lease Thompsons in the shipping chests.The flap on my odd pouch has slightly longer flaps that allow the lift the dot snaps be fastened with Reising magazines. I always thought it was just a Thompson pouch with who ever was measuring and cutting the webbing had a bad day at the factory on the day it was produced. Other possibility is it is the best reproduction pouch I have encountered.I do not believe your pouch is RM Co manufactured Reising pouch. Thompson pouch on left next to RM Co marked Reising pouch on the right. Note the higher location of the male studs on the webbing on the Reising pouch.

dalbert Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I'd like to see a photo of it next to a Thompson pouch. David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNGUY45 Posted December 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I'm glad this got some interest.I posted it on FB, on a US field gear page.Everyone said "unmarked Russian returns", "came in with parts kits".I'm glad someone else has seen this one.Wish we could figure out who made them, & when.

Bridgeport28A1 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I am always on the lookout for a 5 cell web pouch that has legitimate USMC marking but the male studs are located where a marked 5 Cell Thompson pouch studs are. I wonder if the Marines simply didnt use the Reising 5 cell pouches in their inventory with their Thompsons once Reising were largely removed from use.

jim c 351 Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 A few years ago I bought 3 or 4 ,-20 rd pouches for the TSMG from Omega.I discovered that Reising mags would fit nicely in one of the pouches.That pouch is now my Reising pouch.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
