The ones I've seen on the internet were going for $80 as some kind of collector item. During the 80's, the Russian soldiers would take the Chinese 3 mag pouches from Afghanis and soak them in water to stretch the pockets to hold 2 mags each. It's not what you're looking for but it is an alternative.

The 4 cell chest pouches were made in the 80s for export to the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan,making them highly sought after collectibles.I have one of the 4 cell pouches and 9 of the 3 cell pouches from NVA/VC,Korea and Iraq.

Hmmm, my idea was to send one off to Eggroll to be modified. I can get a 3 mag pouch for under $20. The vest is primarily going to be used for informal 3-gun matches when I use my AK.

That's what I did. Bought the $14 one from GT and sent it to Egg. I'm very happy with the results. I'm not planning for the end of the world, just needed something to hold magazines for future carbine classes and maybe 3-gun matches.

Why not just go with the CQB chest rig? Costs around $50 and gotta be better materials than the Chinese ones. I dont' know how much Egg is charging, and I know he's got excellent products, but you could have a new unmodified item for I bet the same as the modified Chinese surplus. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I had the CQB chest pouch for my AR mags and loved it but the AK magazines got hung up in it. The metal tab that locks the magazine in the receiver catches on the inside of the pockets and prevents any type of fast retrieval. Specopsbrand also makes an AK chest rig but is still up there in price. |

I was all set to buy the CQB rig a while back but heard Redbone's complaints about it with AK mags.
I'm sure Eggroll does good work but for that much I can buy a Tactical Tailor PALS vest and put some AK mag pouches on it. |

May not be what you are looking for, but I am happy with my East German mag pouch. Raindrop pattern and holds 4 mags.
I think I paid $5 for it. I will probably buy another when I see one at a show. |
