If you cut out the dividers on a current-issue 3x30 rd mag pouch, 2 M1A or FAL mags will fit perfectly.
Can't see the utility of putting the AR mags in sideways, though. Seems to me they'd rattle, and that's a no-no. |

I've cut the dividers out, but never thought of putting them in sideways. I'll have to try that.

I HAD to cut mine out. How else could I fit in my Tabasco sauce and Hershey bars?

When I was 11C on active duty, I also cut mine out. As I didn't normally carry an M-16, I carried other crap in there- pocket knives, compass, nail clipper, food bars, candy, smokes, lighter, 1/2 pints, camo stick, blistex, doobie, etc.
Of course, I had to buy new ones and turn them in as "servicable". blackie |

I always bought my own gear (at least the stuff I could actually buy). When I was forced to accept an issue, I kept it in the bag until I PCSed out of the area. That way, I could do what I wanted to with it, and it saved a lot of hassles.

I have some Blackhawk pouches that have no dividers. I figured this would allow me to use them either for M16 or M14/FAL mags.
Not sure if I'm totally happy with them though. Time will tell. |

Your issued pouches had dividers???? Everyone I ever had, had them ripped or missing all together!

Yeah, one of mine has intact dividers and the other has them ripped apart. I never tried putting anything else in there, though. Maybe when I get my Stg58 I won't need to buy mag pouches for it!
BTW I never tried this, but can you fit 3 Thermold mags in the issue pouches, or just USGI mags? I might try the sideways thing, as that's how I carry pistol mags and I'm used to the motion of quick-changing pistols mags. |

I dont own any Thermolds but I am pretty sure that they wont fit in sideways it is a tight fit to close with the USGI mags. I am experimenting with them sideways because of the muscle memory I have due to my pistol training. |
