Magpul themselves make a D60 molle compatible pouch. Its right here on their website.
EDIT: Other than that that, you could probably try putting them in SAW ammo pouches or sustainment (read: mre/food pouch) pouches. |

Well, shit. I guess I need to spend more time looking at MagPul's site. To be honest, when I think of them, I think polymer, not Cordura, so it never even dawned on me to look there. D'oh!!!! I guess I get to wear the Dumbass-of-the-Day award.

Magpul pouch price is full retard. They fit in USGI molle canteen pouches just fine. They aren't as pretty but sheesh, $65?

How about the Molle II IFAK pouch? I'm betting that might work fine.

It takes a bit more work (labor time) to make a fully padded pouch and to make it look as clean as theirs is. The price is right from my perspective of actually making fully padded pouches. You will have at least 2-4 additional templates or laser cut files, with at least 2x the cut time, and a lot more sew time. Lots of time + labor = increased cost. The price makes sense for them to still have some margins left over. Do you sew? |

Why do you want padded construction? 3x the weight on one set of feed lips = increased chances of lip impact or damage, especially in extreme cold weather. It makes a lot of sense to protect your $129 investment in this case, especially if your life depends on it. If you are wealthy and have more dollars than sense, buy a $129 magazine and then get your garbage surplus pouch with single later Cordura, load up the mag, drop it in, and have a blast. If you want to protect it, get a fully padded pouch with thick padding at the feed lip area. |

Maybe if they do get the contract with the USMC, they'll anticipate enough demand from soldiers and civilians to make it worth it to start producing in Multicam. |

There's already a foam insert for the canteen/utility pouch thats meant for nods too. |

Even 95° heat causes adhesive seeping. I just make my pouches with padding in them and pack cloth liner as a rule. Protects feed lips, NODs, binos, LRFs, Kestrels, whatever. |

You make a five sided folding form and tape the outside with one strip. Not rocket science. |

You could probably use a SAW or 240 pouch. Blueforce makes some helium whisper pouches which are super light but $80 a piece.

I'll make my own padded pouch for this in MultiCam, with more ideal closure method and arrangement of the shape of the pouches. It will be fully lined with 400D pack cloth, with 500D MC Cordura on the outside. |
