    How do peeps,in trying to find a mag holder that goes nicely on the stock of the l96? Can't really find one, only ones that fit m4 ect.plus most are out of stock. Been trying for ages to find some but sadly, no avail!

    Get a MOLLE pouch designed for 7.62mm Mags and Cable tie it on.

    I got this one for my M4 http://www.varusteleka.fi/product/pouches-magazine/condor-m4-buttstock-mag-pouch/_2XF101BIQ
    but it comes with extra straps so it'll fit most rifles.

    Nice, how was shipping with that website? Expensive/fast?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 365 ✭✭The_ChiefDUB


    The site doesn't tell you straight off how much the shipping will cost - you place the order and they get back to you at which point you can cancel if you want. I ordered some ALICE webbing and one of those mag pouches and the shipping came to €16 - recevied the stuff in about three days. Great quality stuff as well - from what I can tell they are a good operation.
    There are a load of great bargains on the site so i recommend having a look around in case there is anythign else that takes your fancy.

    Lefty's idea is probably the easiest and most cost effective...hell, it's probably the most durable option too :D

    My M4 is rear-wired, it has a folding skeleton stock, pistol mag pouch and cable ties FTW! Not my idea though :P

    Hmm but being a fool that I am, I love the asthetic look, would the whole cable ties take away from it??

    Just use some black ones, they won't stick out very much.

    Just trim excess cable-tie, and it'll look flush :)

    And if it doesnt and someone like you two point and laugh whilst out skirmishing.... I'll be a sad sad sniper.....
    On topic-I forgot you can get black cable ties... Maybe I get some camo netting, link through the cabling, least it retains it use, plus looks a lil cooler, plus I have some netting left from fixing my ghillie up!!! Sweet!!! I'll post a pic to show my genius idea :p

    Sure when it was front wired I just taped the battery onto the hand guard with whatever insulation tape I had (usually white), practicality is more important than looks;)

    Don't forget, in airsoft you are trying to emulate the military look 99% of the time,and everybody knows militarys the world over are held together with 100mph tape, (duck tape if your a civvie) and cable ties!
    Cable ties won't look out of place on a military load out!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 552 ✭✭✭OutsiderAkuma


    Lol suppose I was a civvie there.... I'm gonna grab cables in the next day or two and grab a pouch in strikearms the weekend. Cheers everyone! Look forward to sniping each of you soon!

    If those two can see you while your out skirmishing you'll be a dead sniper too :)

    Also, my mates M60 barrel is held on with tape, god bless the stuff

    We call it speed tape in the aircraft biz. It's catchier and stands less chance of freaking people out when you point it out on the wing.
