East German SKS pouch

[nathan]

Have anyone seen one of these for the SKS ? HOw many loaded stripper clips can it fit on each of the sub compartment? If it takes three on each , i might be interested to get one of these .

Avoid them.

Each cell will hold four stripper clips each. That sounds like a good way to carry 120 rounds of ammo, but when fully loaded, that thing will drag your pants down and be very awkward if you don't have suspenders. You will also find that the end cartridges on the stripper clips will snag on the soft cloth and will be pulled off when you reach for a clip. I had this same raindrop pattern pouch several years ago, and got rid of it.

I highly recommend the leather pouches that hold four stripper clips vertically. A couple of those on the belt will give you 80 rounds of ammo, plenty of firepower. You will find that a comfortable loadout even on a standard belt, and the rounds won't fall of the clips. Far better option.



These can be found for cheap on the various auction sites, as well as some milsurp dealers.

I have both and concur with Cooldill's assessment.

I like the E German raindrop pouches in the OP but $16/each is ridiculous. Yes, you can get four strippers per cell but it an be tight. I typically load in a total of nine which makes it a little less bulky. I have an SKS paratrooper that is often the rifle I chuck into the car if I want to have something handy. Two pouches and the rifle fit easily into a standard rifle case.
