Hey everyone,
I make kydex gear on the side and sell a few pieces on ebay every now and then. One thing I noticed is that there are very few options for people who want a kydex pouch for their AR10/LR308/etc rifle magazines. There is one option on ebay, and it doesn't look very secure. Other options from Blade-Tech and Safariland are expensive and don't have that cool, fitted, "pancake" look that kydex products are known for. I could sell these for $20 shipped and still make enough money to make it worth my time.
So what do you folks think? Should I try making a few AR10 magazine pouches? I've been experimenting with 550 Paracord belt loops on my other magazine pouches. I like them so far. Feedback appreciated!
Blade-tech option (link to Brownell's listing): http://www.brownells.com/shooting-a...s/ar-10-tek-lok-magazine-pouch-prod24902.aspx
Safirland option (link to Midway listing): http://www.midwayusa.com/product/94...ringfield-armory-m1a-ar-10-lr-308-kydex-black
Current "custom" kydex option ($36?? Seems a bit spendy): http://www.bravoconcealment.com/products/copy-of-ak-mag-pouch
Picture of my experiment with 550 cord belt loops:
FWIW a piece that would be sold would be finished a little nicer than this. Flat sides, rounded corners, no sharp edges, etc.
