Description
What’s better than two mags you might ask yourself? SIX mags! This is the standard issue magazine bandoleer issued throughout the US Military. The bandoleer has three sleeves that can hold two USGI 5.56mm 30 round mags each, and there’s three of those pockets. Mags are secured with button snap flaps. You can carry this around in style with the adjustable strap on it. Those buttons snaps on there that seem very random and not often used are for attaching the bandoleer to the inside of compatible backpacks, such as the US Army 3 Day Assault pack. That makes it easier to carry while still being ready to go. These are a great way to keep your mags stored and ready to go at the range or when traveling.
Magazines typically fit fairly tight in these, especially when in New Condition. Expect a break in period where you need to leave mags stored in there for a little bit to loosen things up. Polymer mags DO NOT fit in these, they weren’t made to carry them.

They will not hold six magazines and allow flap to be buttoned down! The snaps will close if you lube them, not a good product and they are not worth the price! That being said, this is the first time I have received a product like this from Venture. Everything for the past three years or so have been to their product description, and I have got my what I paid for and then some!

These are exactly what they are and as long as you put 6 aluminum or steel magazines they close but a polymer magazine like a Magpul will only hold one per pocket.

I have three of these and while they are a tight fit for my mags initially they will fit. I have put empty mags in mine and let the pouch sit loaded for a week or two. That stretches the flaps out so they close without a lot of effort. Will only hold three polymer mags though.

I love these bandoliers for storing loaded magazines – just grab and go!
Some folks complain about these being “tight” or tough to close when you have two mags per pouch loaded up. These do require a break-in period if they’re new, so they actually loosen up and become easier to close after a while. I have some that are broken-in enough to actually hold two PMAGs per pouch.
