I HATE retention flaps, however it is hard to find a good open top mag pouch compatible with the ak mags. The taco looked like a good innovation. I was thinking of something like that before the taco ever came out.
I have used open top single m4 shingles for a while. I cut the bungee off. They've never fallen out just sometimes the get caught on the fabric coming out because of the ak's locking lugs on the magazines.
I'm thinking about taking a piece of half inch band iron and putting it down in the pouch to do the same thing the kydex in the taco pouches does. Allow a smooth easy extraction. I'll rivet the band iron in at the very bottom, fold it out the top of the pouch and rivet it into the side of the pouch. The rivet should counter sink a little if installed correctly so it won't grab the locking piece of the ak mag.
Anyone ever tried anything like this? If so how did it work?
I just don't wanna pay 30 dollars for a single magazine pouch!
